JOURNAL OF HORTICULTURE AND COTTAGE GARDENER.

For my own part I do not regard that election as in any way a rival 
to my analysis which appeared in the Journal of Horticulture a fort¬ 
night before (page 21), but rather, as Mr. Molyneux happily puts it, as 
an “ appropriate pendant” to it. Our methods are altogether different, 
and so also are the objects we have in view. Mr. Molyneux tells us 
what sorts we ought to grow in order to be quite “ up to date,” and my 
analysis, among other things, what kinds have been most frequently 
staged in recent years, and also at the last National Chrysanthemum 
Exhibition, this indicating the fluctuating value of varieties in general 
cultivation. 
It should be borne in mind that it is not every grower or exhibitor 
who can afford to keep his stock of varieties strictly “up to date ”—up 
to Mr. Molyneux’s high standard, although many of us will, no doubt, 
now endeavour to get as near to it as our purses will allow. On reference 
to the trade catalogue of a well-known specialist, I find that Mr. 
Molyneux’s first twenty-four Japs would cost on an average Is. 2d. 
apiece, whereas the top twenty-four in my analysis can be had for about 
4^d. a plant. Now this question of expense must necessarily be a con¬ 
sideration to many. In the last-named twenty-four are included one 
1892, six 1891, and two 1890 varieties, while half the total number are 
among Mr. Molyneux’s leading twenty-four. In the third column of 
my analysis may, however, be found a still more modern list for those 
who prefer it. Taking the twenty-four Japs most frequently staged at 
the 1893 exhibition of the National Chrysanthemum Society we find 
only eight which do not also secure places in the first twenty-four in 
the election. Of these exceptions Puritan appears in that list at 
No. 28, Boule d’Or at No. 29, Miss A. Hartshorn at No. 30, Gloire du 
Kocher at No. 33, Alberic Lunden at No. 53, while Madame J. Laing 
comes in with a single vote. As to the remaining two which do not 
appear in Mr. Molyneux’s lists at all, I can only say that Mr. A. H, Neve 
was staged in as many as thirty-five stands at the Royal Aquarium last 
November, and Val d’Andorre in twenty-six stands. 
Then there is another consideration. We small growers may go to 
what we cannot but regard as considerable expense and secure a large 
number of “sterling novelties,” but who is to tell us how to grow them 
to the best advantage ? To make room for these we cast aside as worth¬ 
less many of our recently acquired (for there are few sorts now grown 
possessing any history worth mentioning) and fairly tested favourites, 
only to find ourselves with a number of new varieties with the “ manners 
and customs ” of which we have not had the slightest experience. Then, 
again, should there be an overwhelming demand by all classes of growers 
for certain leading novelties, this must undoubtedly result in over¬ 
propagation and its attendant evils. 
As long, therefore, as Japanese Chrysanthemums remain in their 
present state of rapid transition my analysis can never hope to be 
altogether “ up to date,” and will always require Mr. Molyneux’s 
welcome and “ appropriate pendant ” to supply its deficiencies. In 
this bewildering section I can undertake to cater fairly well for the 
average grower and exhibitor, but those who require, and can afford to 
keep their collections thoroughly abreast of the times, I must refer them 
to Mr. Molyneux and his able band of up to date experts.—E. M., 
Berhhamsted.
