COUNTRY GROWN PLANTS AND CUTTINGS. 
The difference between our country grown plants and cuttings, and those grown and sold in or near 
London or other towns, is so manifest, that no comparison can be drawn. 'I'nic, they like soot at 
their roots, but not to be covered with it, as they must he when grown in such a situation, and for the 
want of light are poor and drawn up ; whereas, ours are clean, strong, and healthy, and will root in 
half the time. 
OCTOBER-FLOWERING CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 
W HAT a turn these are taking, and how truly wonderful are their various forms and colours. Only 
a few years ago wo 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 course of a few years, several additional 
classes. Some of the new varieties possess no real novelty nor beauty, and such will bo discarded ; 
but where fresh beauty e.Kists, no matter how curious, they will have to he announced .and recommended. 
The top flower of the engraving represents Alexandre Dufour,, an October flowering hybrid Japanese 
Pompon; the Pompon \sMdllc. D’A niuwi/, a pretty little flower of a rosy purple, .slightly pointed yellow, 
the smallest and most perfect ; the next, Richard Larios, which is entirely different, and must be 
termed a reflexed Japanese (hybrid); its centre is, when half opened, most peculiar, and like the 
Catharine-wheel fireworks, colour rich rosy' purple, each petal margined and tipped with white, large
