I am always glad to rectify these mistakes without cost to purchaser. 
Sending Cfovpsantbemums Everywhere. 
A reporter from the Leaf- Chronicle visited Evergreen Lodge this 
morning and found Mr. Morton and a large number of his assistants 
busy shipping plants to many sections of the country. Mr. Morton has 
made a specialty of the Chrysanthemum business, as every one tn town 
well knows, and apparently many others in territory far remote from 
Clarksville are finding out. He has worked up an immense trade in 
these plants, and for some years his trade in these has been confined to 
the Southern States, where he has customers in almost every city or 
village from Virginia to Texas. While many of the tropical gardens 
of the Gulf Coast boast of many fine specimens from Evergreen Lodge, 
he has lately begun on the other end of the continent. A look at his 
shipping book showed where he had during the past few weeks sent 
shipments to parties in Bristol, Pa., Council Bluff, Iowa, Polo, 111., 
Brunswick, Neb., Providence, R. I., Elizabeth, N. J., Golden Bridge, 
N. Y., Intervale, N. II., Norwood, Mass., Deadwood, South Dakota, 
Southport, Conn., London, Ontario, Outremont, P. Q., and Windsor, 
Nova Scotia. Another shipment he was to make in a day or two, as 
soon as the postmaster here could get the necessary blanks from Wash- 
ington, was to Miss M. K. Lou, Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii Islands. — The

a TReview of TRecent Untrobuctious. 
The varieties offered the past Spring for the first time nearly all were 
more than ordinarily good. The very cream seemed to be Evangeline, 
Thanksgiving, Chebeague, Dorothy Spaulding, Eureka, and Golden 
Trophy. Gold Standard makes a charming flower, but its grape vine 
growth is against it. Western King and Adelaide are fine, but very 
slow in propagating, which will keep them scarce for at least another 
season. Australian Gold is fine, a very large incurving yellow, and 
Mrs. II. Weeks is one of the best things 1 have seen this year. Frank 
Hardy, a white sport from Good Gracious, surpasses my greatest expec- 
tations. In many of the shows it was awarded a premium over Mrs. 
Robinson. Chito, bronze, and Portia, pink, make fine exhibition 
blooms. The Barrington is one of the handsomest of the crimson 
maroons with reverse silver. Defender is unsurpassed in crimson scarlet 
color, but rather scarce of petal. Pennsylvania is the best new yellow 
of the season, a sport from Philadelphia. Belle of Castlewood is a 
shrimp pink, and when well grown is a most chaste object. The Harriott 
will prove a valuable late variety; deep silvery rose. Mrs. A. Ryerson 
is another pure white, and a valuable addition. C. W. Ward is a pretty 
Dahlia like white flower, but not large enough for the exhibition table. 
Merula is a very pleasing flower of white, shaded light pink, but rather
