Besides the above, the second report of Dr. F. W. Oliver on the 
Effects of Urban Fog on Cultivated Plants,” is printed in full, and it 
is well worthy of being carefully read. 
The Council have the sad duty of rec9rding the death of forty- 
seven Fellows during the year,’and amongst them they regret to find the 
names of the Earl of Lovelace, Lord Ebury, Lord Alfred Churchill, the 
Countess of Carberry, Lady Peto, Lord Calthorpe, Mr. Phippen, Mr. 
Hugh Low, Mr. H. Deverill, Mr. T. Laxton, Mr. Bailey Denton, Mr 
R. Bullen, Mr. H. G. Quilter, Mr. S. Barlow, ice. 
A scheme for the affiliation of local horticultural societies was put 
forward in 1890, fifty-eight local societies have availed themselves of 
it. The Council express the hope that Fellows will promote the affilia¬ 
tion of local horticultural and cottage garden societies in their own 
immediate neighbourhood.

National Chrysanthemuji Society. 
The annual general meeting of the members of this Society will 
take place at Anderton’s Hotel, Fleet Street, E.C., on Monday, 
February 19th, at 7 o’clock. 
Chrysanthemum Mrs. L. C. Madeira. 
I QUITE agree with Mr. Wells (page 76). With me the half open 
•flower showed a tendency to come deformed, but I took out a portion of 
the petals, and the flower finished perfectly. I think this variety will 
furnish an excellent back row flower; the colour is nearer Jardin des 
Plantes than any kind I know. The florets are narrow, but unfortunately 
we see this too often of late years. I attribute it to too early propa¬ 
gation in the incurved section. I know from experience that early 
rooting, and too early feeding, will not produce flowers of the Queen 
fami'y with breadth of floret and substance. I consider that from the 
middle of February onwards through March quite soon enough to 
propagate the varieties of the Queen family. Those persons who have 
not tried late rooting should do so this season, and I am sure they will 
not have cause to regret.—W. Tunnington. 
Old and New Chrysanthemums. 
It would no doubt interest many of your readers who may not 
have the means of reference, if you would publish, for comparison with 
the modern lists of Japanese Chrysanthemums, the varieties of ten years 
ago which comprised the winning stands of Mr. Molyneux at Kingston 
in the challenge cup class, Mr. Tunnington at Birmingham, and Mr, 
Leadbetter at Liverpool in November, 1883. 
I append the names as copied from the Journal of Ilorticnlture of 
that date. Mr. Molyneux’s blooms were Madame Audiguier, Fair Maid 
of Guernsey, Dolores, Marguerite Marroucb, Meg Merrilies, M. Ardene, 
Peter the Great, Baronne de Frailly, P^re Delaux, Criterion, Balmoreau, 
Soleil Levant, Khedive, Bouled’Or, Comte de Germiny, Elaine, Triomphe 
du Nord, Hiver Fleur, Grandiflora, Sarnia, Japonaise, R. Ballantine, 
Alba Plena, Thunberg. The others included Sarnia, Ethel, Oracle, 
Bismarck, L’Ardoise, Chang, La Nymphe, Rosa Bonheur, Album Striatum, 
Patria, Mdlle. Moulise, Flambeau, Delicata, Striatum, Magnum Bonum, 
L’lncomparable, Cry Kang, and the Cossack. 
It will be seen from the above that out of forty-two of the leading
