numerous others. The delicately coloured Viscountess Hambledon is 
very beautiful, as also is the now extremely popular Mdlle. Thdr^se Rey. 
Other varieties include Viviand Morel, Eda Prass, Amos Perry, G. C. 
Schwabe, W. W, Coles, Golden Beauty, Princess May, and Madame 
Cal vat. 
Of the incurved, Baron Hirsch, Mons. R. Bahuant, Madame Darier, 
Gloria Mundi, Brookleigh Gem, and Empress of India are the best at 
present in flower, but several others promise remarkably well. The 
these flowers are not very frequently seen at our great exhibitions, they 
usually secure a prominent position when they are staged. This fact is 
in itself a proof of merit, as from such a comparatively small collection 
as 1000 plants, this number including all shapes of plants and all 
sections, it is no small credit to show successfully against growers of 
3000 and upwards of plants. 
The plants are arranged in two lean-to houses, there being a big 
bank with a path along the front of each. Standing at the end of

single varieties make a very bright display, and it is somewhat surprising 
that they are not much more extensively grown than is the case at 
present. Though this list of sorts is necessarily short more cannot be 
named, and in its place the advice to go and see them may be tendered 
to all who may peruse these notes. Mr. Wells will receive them 
courteously, and they are sure to see much to interest and instruct in an 
hour or two spent at this home of Chrysanthemums. 
WooDHATCH Lodge. 
The names of T. B. Hayward, Esq , and Woodhatch Lodge, Reigate, 
are usually associated with Orchids, but Chrysanthemums must also be 
included, for the collection grown is a splendid one, and in the able 
hands of Mr. C. J. Salter it improves every season, Though blooms of 
either of these structures the effect produced is decidedly handsome, the 
colours having been placed with a view to the best possible effect. 
Another noticeable feature is the manner of naming in vogue in these 
gardens, every variety being accorded a clearly printed label, which can 
be readily seen for some considerable distance, thus obviating the 
necessity of pushing and craining amongst the plants when it is 
desired to know the name of any particular sort. This is an example 
that might well be followed by other gentlemen, if only for their own 
convenience and that of their visitors, as the interest is by this simple 
means greatly enhanced without the good effect of the flowers being in 
the least detracted from. 
Contrary to the custom of most growers for exhibition blooms Mr. 
Salter almost invariably leaves four buds on a plant, and judging by
