HYBRID JAPANESE CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 
When in Japan, Mr. Fortune selected and sent to this country seven remarkable 
Chrysanthemums, which proved either of gigantic size, novel colour, or peculiar form. 
From the types then introduced have been raised the following, which aro still more 
remarkable for their diversity, possessing as they do either enormous size, peculiar 
form, or new colours. Although of a distinct type from the Chrysanthemums in 
general cultivation, no difference of treatment or soil is necessary to secure a succession 
of flowers from November until January or February. “ Many of them remain longer 
in bloom, and bloom later than the Chinese kinds, so that wo may have our green- 
houses gay with them all through the dull winter months, when flowers are scarce.” 
The effect produced in the conservatory by their fantastic forms and brilliant colours 
is most novel and pleasing, many of their immense blooms having more the appear- 
ance of tassels formed by the gay plumage of tropical birds than of flowers.
