these are fast becoming a most important section of this family, but like all Chrysanthemums they 
require to be well grown, otherwise they will end in disappointment.”

OCTOBER-FLOWERING CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 
*$r-lIAT a turn these arc taking, and how truly wonderful are their various forms and colours. Only 
a f ew years ago we had nothing but the ordinary form, now it is difficult to say from which 
parent they have sprung, and there will have to be, in the couise of a few years, several additional 
classes. Some of the new varieties possess no real novelty nor beauty, and such will be discarded ; 
but where fresh beauty exists, no matter how curious, they will have to be announced and recommended. 
The top flower of the engraving represents Alexandre Du/our, an October flowering hybrid Japanese 
Pompon ; the Pompon is Millie. D'Arnaud, a pretty little flower of a rosy purple slightly pointed yellow, 
the smallest and most perfect ; the next M. Richard Larios, which is entirely different, and must bo 
termed a reflexed Japanese (hybrid); its centre is, when half opened, most peculiar, and like the 
Catherine-wheel fireworks, colour rich rosy purple, each petal margined and tipped with white, large 
flowers, very free and striking; the lower right-hand variety is La Vicrgc, pure white, very much the 
best early-flowering white, and a decided cross between the hybrid Pompon and the ordinary old 
reflexed class as it is possible, and one of the most valuable of the year. So good is it in all points that 
we predict it will be more grown than any other variety for cut flowers. The remaining variety, 
Inimitable, is an improved and distinct form of a hybrid Pompon, beautiful in shape and perfectly 
distinct in colour, very free, and for early shows one of the best in its class ; one of Mr. Salter's latest 
novelties. (See engraving, next page.)

rosy or magenta-coloured flowers, robust habit ;
