EARLY-FLOWERING CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 
fl®^AHLY flowering Chrysanthemums are making rapid improvement; we now give them more 
attention and grow them better. Our house, after the Carnations and Pieoteeswere removed, 
and during August and September, was really a fine sight. It cannot bo said we have nothing 
but Dahlias in the autumn, for these can be had in abundance ; yes, for many continue throwing up 
flowers after the first lot are cut— so very different to the ordinary November kinds, and for bedding 
many of the varieties make a grand feature. Mr. Graham, the Superintendent of Hampton Court 
Gardens, writes us “ Madame C. Desgraraje has again made the most attractive bed in the Gardens 
this season, and those are fast becoming a most important section of this family, but like all Chrysan- 
themums they require to be well grown, otherwise they will end in disap])ointment."
