CHRYSANTHEMUMS— GLOBOSA AND 
BEAUTY OF STOKE. 
Probably there has not been any season of late years so 
favourable to the flowering of the Chrysanthemum as the one 
that has just 'closed ; those in the open ground and in pots were 
equally good, and probably a fresh stimulus will be given to 
their growth by the success of this season. 
Mr. John Salter, of the Versailles Nursery, Hammersmith, 
has again brought forward a considerable number of valuable 
varieties, but the great run has been upon the Japanese section, 
so remarkable for the size and curious appearance of their 
flowers, some of which we hope to figure next month. Of the 
Chinese section he has ten new varieties, while pompones seem 
quite to have been neglected by the raisers of new kinds ; they 
are as follows : Duke of Edinburgh (Ball), a large incurved 
flower, rosy lilac, with light centre. Marginata (Salter), large 
anemone flower, lilac blush, edged with rose and rose centre. 
Miss Hope (Pethers), delicate lilac, shading off to white in the 
centre, finely incurved. Mrs. Wreford Major (Salter), dark 
rose, very close and compact, fine flower. Meyerbeer (Downton), 
rose-purple and light back, finely incurved. Norma (Lord 
Elliott), ivory white, short, stiff petal ; very dwarf habit and 
fine. Ondine (Salter), cream tipped, rosy lilac, fine incurved 
flower. Princess Louise (Teesdale) anemone flowered, delicate 
rosy blush, fine high centre, — and those figured in our plate.
