It will thus be seen that about 10,500 blooms have been tabulated in 
all; the outcome of which tabulation will be found in the accompany¬ 
ing tables of the Incurved and Japanese sections. 
As in former years the established varieties are arranged in the 
tables according to the average number of times they were shown at all 
the five Exhibitions. In the case, however, of the newer sorts a rather 
different system has to be adopted, as Chrysanthemums are not as a rule 
in the hands of exhibitors generally for the first year or two after they 
are distributed. Accordingly those varieties which came out in 188G 
are allotted places according to the frequency with which they were 
shown at the last two Exhibitions of the Society, while the positions 
accorded to the still newer hinds—those of 1887, 1888, and 1889—are 
entirely dependent upon the number of times they were staged at the 
Koyal Aquarium in November last. 
Taking first the table of Incurved varieties, we still find Empress of 
India, immediately followed by Queen of England, at the head of the 
analysis, and yet the first named is the oldest but five, and the other the 
oldest of all on the list. The sorts which stand out as having been more 
frequently shown than usual are Alfred Salter, Emily Dale, Princess of 
Tech, Cherub, Empress Eugenie, Mr. Brunlees, and notably Barbara, 
INCURVED 
which has risen three steps since last year. On the other hand Jeann& 
d’Arc, Lord Wolseley, Mr. Bunn, Nil Desperandum, Jardin des Plantes, 
and Prince of Wales were very indifferently represented. 
Neither of the two 1886 varieties have improved their positions since- ' 
the last list was issued ; indeed. Bronze Queen of England has falleib 
from No. 22 to No. 30, while Mrs. Norman Davis, although a late sort, 
still remains at the bottom of the analysis. It is, however, pleasant to- 
welcome two new kinds, which have already on their first appearance 
so greatly distinguished themselves as have Miss M. A. Haggas and 
Violet Tomlin. The former has at once risen to No. 22, and the latter 
to No. 24 on the list. Both of these were sent out in 1888. The- 
only new Incurved varieties which appear in the present analysis, and 
are not to be found in the first one published five years ago, are these- 
same four varieties—viz.. Miss M. A. Haggas, Violet Tomlin, Bronze 
Queen of England, and Mrs. Norman Davis, showing what little pro¬ 
gress has been made in this section in recent years. 
Of all the Japanese Chrysanthemums the one which was most 
frequently shown last year was Edwin Molyneux—nevertheless, the-, 
blooms of this fine new variety were, as a rule, inferior to those staged 
at the previous Exhibition. Madame John Laing was to be seen in- 
nearly as many stands as Edwin Molyneux, and was moreover splendidly 
represented. ' Other sorts specially favoured by the season were Val 
d’Andorre, Mr. Ralph Brocklebank, Carew Underwood, Meg Merrilles, 
Boule d’Or, Baronne de Prailly, Japonais, and iGloriosum ; and yet only 
four of these ten Japs are classed in the National Chrysanthemuma 
Society’s catalogue as late-flowering kinds. The following, together 
with many other well-known sorts, were, on the)_ other hand, scarcely 
anywhere to be seen :—Maiden’s Blush, Comte de Germiny, La Triom- 
phante, Bertier Rendatler, Monsieur Astorg, Peter the Great, and 
Monsieur Tarin.
