doubt about their being ccrrectly named — we have five houses (100 feet each) specially for them 
to develop their blooms. At the pro])er season we have a display consisting of all the, best and 
most distinct kinds, which fcrms uiuiucstionahly the finest and mcst 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 be fouml an opp( rtunity such as Ims never before been offered to lovers of this genus.

We long promised to introduce a new way cf putting up cut blooms of Chr)’santhcmnms for 
Exhibition, but, of course, said all, such a way would never look well, but admitted that it would 
be worth trying, and also Sivid he would be a bold fellow who dared to venture in public with a 
departure from the ontinary and original style. We determined, therefore, to present six Imxcs, 
4i feet long, 18 inches wide, as per engraving above, before the Floral Committee at the Royal 
Iforticultural Society, and to our delight and surprise before we had completed staging the flowers, 
all our Floriciiltiiral critics spoke aloud that our new system was the right and proper one, and there 
and then unanimouslv resolved that we should be i)resentcd with the Gold Medal — but we never got 
it probably from the scarcity of material to make it. 
Exhibition blooms (cut) are very e.xpensive to grow, and good flowers cannot be supplied less 
than Is. each.
