From the Greek word, chrusos, gold; and an- 
THOS, a flower, the name Chi’ysanthemum has been 
compounded, in allusion to the golden hue of some 
of its species. Sinense, from the name of an ancient 
people of China. 
There are very few plants cultivated in England, 
which produce so splendid and varied an exhibition 
of flowers as the varieties of Chrysanthemum Si- 
nense. The season of their flowering is rather later 
than could be w ished by those who possess no con- 
veniency for protecting them; but still, on the ap- 
proach of frosty weather, this may be eflected even 
withinside almost every dwelling house, by giving 
them a place in a light hall, or before a large win- 
dow. In some seasons a single frosty night occurs 
as though it were by accident, out of season, a month 
before winter otherwise makes a general attack on 
all that we value in the garden. Protection against 
such an occurrence should be provided if possible. 
With a little ingenuity this may be produced with- 
out any expense worth naming. Those to whom 
the cost is not matter of consideration, will excuse 
our suggestions for the benefit of others.
