BEAUTIFUL GARDEN FLOWERS. 
yellow, purple and bronzy blooms on the same raceme. 
Both G. Marshalli and C. mutabilis, require warm 
sheltered spots in the garden, and a well-drained 
loamy soil. They may be increased from seeds, and 
also by cuttings of the side shoots in summer. (See 
Plate 2.) 
CHRYSANTHEMUM.— Apart from the florists’ 
varieties there are several beautiful species of Chrysan- 
themums — both annual and perennial. The annual 
kinds, like C. carinatum or tricolor, and its numerous 
forms (of which Burridgednum is perhaps best known)

annual about 18 inches high with golden-yellow

Amongst the perennials, the British Ox-Eye Daisy 
(G. Leucanthemum) , 2 to 3 feet high, with white flowers

similar to C. maximum. The last-named is a fine 
Pyrenean plant 2 to 4 feet high. There are many 
excellent forms of it now in gardens, and some of
