JAPANESE CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 
SECRETS IN COMPETITION. 
Altlioiigli the Japanese do not require to be made as uniform as if tiiey liad been cast in one mould, 
like the ineurved and recurved, yet they require similar arrangement, so that they each present a 
regular and pretty form, whatever their natural shape may be. No model can be set up in this 
section as the one required. Yet whatever style of twisting, curling, or recurving best suits thevariety, 
so assist that growth of the flower to develo]) itself, and when done, it must be such as the eye will 
cause the tongue to say, “ That is pretty ; I like that variety.” It generally follows, what pleases 
the public pleases the judges, and that is the secret of success.
