CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 
Where refinement in deeorations is desired these will now take the place of the i^ompon and 
Mngle -flowered varieties, and will undoubtedly occupy a position in Chrysanthemums similar to the 
Cactus-shaped kinds in Dahlias, which have gained such well-merited popularity throughout the 
world. It is our full convictiou that these light, graceful, and yet fantastic shaped Chrysautheniunis 
will attain a prominent position in even a much shorter time, and owing to their lasting properties 
when cut, which is a great advantage, they will he eagerly sought after and used by every lady 
who admires something neat and nice for the decoration of the table. For buttonholes and sprnys 
they are even a worthy rival to the Orchid, both in appearance and keeping qualities: no garden or 
greenhouse ouglit to be without them. See opinions of the gardening papers and the Press,

SIMPLY AN ANNOUNCEMENT. 
We are on the best of business relationship and have special terms with all Trade-growers. Our 
ordei-s for new varieties are already given for large quantities, so that we may have the first earlv 
pliuits, and thus enable us to despatch with onr own all new kinds of other raieers in one package** 
and we further respectfully intimate to all tbo.se who wish their orders to be sent in first-class 
condition, that they should forward their commands as soon ns possible after receipt of this New List. 
CHRYSANTHEMUM CUTTINGS. 
We have adopted quite a new system for the supply of cuttings, which we are sure nill be much 
more satisfactory to the purchasers, and far more successful than those supplied in the nsunl way 
from plants which have stood ch se together with their long drawn-up cuttings, and often from those 
not very healthy, whose colours have been strained to the utmost. 
e now plant out otir stock of young plants first week in May in the open ground, and cut them 
down the end of September, then lift them with large balls of earth and plant them in our earth- 
stage, close against the glass. They soon begin to throw up quantities of cuttings of a short tturdy 
nature, quite different to those from c.xhibition plants, and the difference is such that all growers who 
have seen our two houses, 100 ft. each, full of these roots, would decide never to grow from the 
over-worked old stools again.
