JAPANESE CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 
SECKRTS IN COMPETITION. 
Although the Japanese do not reciuirc to be made as uniform as if they had been cast in one mould, 
like the incurved and recurved, yet they require similar arrangement, so that they each present a 
regular and pretty form, whatever their natural shape may be. Massivenc.^s and great dcptb of 
Mower is most appreciated ; Hat hollow centres and undecided colours should be avoided. No model 
can be set up in this section as the one required. Yet whatever style of twisting, curling, or 
recurving best suits the variety, so assist that growth of the Mower to develop itself, and when Hone, 
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 which is the secret of success.
