-He SIMPLY AN ANNOUNCEMENT. 3lE<- 
We are on the best of business relationship and have special terms with all Trade-growers Our 
orders for new varieties are already given for large ((uantities, so that we may have the first early 
plants, and thus enable us to despatch with our own all new kinds of other raisers in one package: and 
we further respectfully intimate to all those who wish their orders to be sent in first-class condition, 
that they should forward their commands as soon as possible after receipt of this New List. 
NEW CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 
S EED is now being saved in every country in the world. It comes up readily, and of course 
each raiser sees wonderful things in his own, so they are thrust on to the public. From 
long experience, seedlings want carefully selecting with practical knowledge, and even then should 
be well grown and shown the next yeai-, as there may be many little nasty habits to prevent it 
ever becoming popular. We have increased our department, built the grandest and best adapted 
house, 160 feet long by 25 feet wide, and appropriated nearly an additional acre of ground 
to grow old stools that we had cut down early before flowering, which we have now taken up with 
large balls of earth, and are giving us valuable, early, and first-rate cuttings that give more 
than satisfaction. We only intend to purcha-se from the principal growers, who have a knowledge 
of what is wanted, and of others that can be relied upon. Seedlings are raised as readily as Zonal 
Pelargoniums, and the world cau bo swamped with many that are not nearly so good as our older 
kinds. When good ones are obtained, they ought to command double what they have hitherto 
done to make them worth venturing large sums of money. Even some of those that have been 
cnltivated by the greatest experts, in our opinion, will not bo heard of again. Wo only intend to 
introduce those that will become standing varieties, like those we have hitherto put in commerce, 
giving us a great reputation for the best varieties sent out by any firm. 
CHRYSANTHEMUM CUTTINGS. 
We have adopted quite a new system for the supply of cuttings, which we are sure will he 
much more satisfactory to the purchasers, and far more snccessful than those supplied in the 
usual way from plants which have stood close together with their long drawn-up cuttings, and 
often from those not very healthy, whose colours have been strained to the utmost. 
We now plant out our 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 sturdy 
nature, quite different to those from exhibition 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.
