A PERFECT SPECIMEN OF AN INCURVED CHRYSANTHEMUM FOR EXHIBITION. 
IHgEVER were Chrysanthemums more generally grown, and to such perfection, as now. Shoe’s 
are s P r ‘ n S’ n S U P >•> nearly every town ; and to meet the demand for plants and cuttings, 
svSiiVo we have devoted quite three-quarters of an acre to their production, and, in fact, allotted a 
separate portion of our Nursery to their special culture ; and, as near as they can be counted, not less 
than 8,000 plants are in 4-inch pots for immediate sale. There can be no doubt about their being 
-correctly named — we have four houses (100 feet each) specially for them to develop their blooms. At 
•iho proper season we have a display consisting of all the best and most distinct kinds, which forms 
-unquestionably the best and most complete collection of this family ever brought together, and will, 
of course, include, like all our collections of florist flowers, the original species to the latest new 
and improved kinds. For comparison, throughout November, this will bo found an opportunity 
such as has never before been offered to lovers of this genus. The following brief cultural directions, 
if carried out, wiE enable anyone to grow plants similar to the engravings.
