There are many we 
have seen and examined 
minutely — nearly every 
one that will be sent out 
— some are good, and 
perhaps half-a-dozen will 
become standard kinds.

The following wise remarks 
are evidently the result of long 
and close experience: — 
Mr. Molynetix, lecturing on Chrysanthemums at Beckenham, said — “ He warned beginners as to 
their selection of varieties, especially new ones, and new firms recommending so many fre.sh kinds 
that we never hear of afterwards. All should be on the alert, choosing those who are careful in 
selection and in supplying meritorious varieties.” 
I have frequently heard Mr. Shea make the same remarks: nevertheless, there is such a rivalry 
amongst the trade, that amateur raisers often ask as muoh a,s £.50 for a new kinH. This we feel I's 
far too high, and must ultimately end like the Australian banks, so we are content with our own 
raising, purchasing others by the dozen or fifty from the trade, which we do perhaps more than 
any other firm. "We send out what we feel certain will become favourites, such as K. Moh/tteAtz^ 
z\vnhinche, and Sunflower, and we never grow them to an enormous size, hut fairly, three flowers on 
a plant, and all must bo short, thick-set habit, and bloom coming easily, if nut they are thrown 
away. Several who have bought at high prices wish they could afford to adopt this plan.
