H. CANNELL & SONS’ LIST OF CHRYSANTHEMUMS, 
EARLY-FLOWERING CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 
Early flowering Chrysanthemums are making rapid improvement ; v'e now give them more attention 
and grow them better, and they sell better every season ; and the newer varieties are charming. Our 
house, after the Carnations and Picotees are removed, and during August and September, was really 
a fine sight and astonished all beholders. It cannot be said we have nothing but Dahlias iq 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 G. Desgrange has again made the most attractive bed in the Gardens this season, and 
these are fast becoming a most important section of this family, but like all Chrysanthemums thdy 
require to be well grown, otherwise they will end in disappointment.”
