Japanese Chrysanthemums. 
F ROM the Exhibitors point of view, the "Japanese” are 
certainly the " Premier" section of Chrysanthemums. 
The flowers attain a large size and vary greatly in 
appearance. Some have broad, others narrow petals; in 
some cases they are straight, in others curled, twisting, and 
interlacing. In length the petals may vary, according to 
the variety, from a few inches to eight or nine inches in 
length, whilst in many varieties the petals, instead of hang- 
ing down, are of an incurving character. 
A collection of Japanese varieties in bloom is a sight to 
see and remember. The following pages contain all that 
is best in this class.
