beautifully arranged, not indeed in the usual straight bank style so 
ften seen, but in an easy, undulating, two-sided group, so as to allow 
visitors to pass round on both sides. Of course large blooms are not 
expected under such conditions, but here will be seen splendidly formed, 
medium sized, bright, clear blooms of good substance. The show has 
been much appreciated and admired by large numbers of visitors and 
residents who frequent this charming park. The able superintendent, 
Mr. W. Bailey, is naturally anxious to have a suitable house built, so 
H, J. Jones, J. Agate, W. G. Newitt, Niveus, The Queen, Mrs. C. B. 
Shea, International, Ernest Fierens, and Mrs. H. J. Drewett are the 
best, both certificated and uncertificated.*

so unusually numerous and exceptionally fine. The most striking and 
effective to my taste are Duchess of York, Exmouth Yellow, Amiral

ever, very few of the new varieties appear to be of that colour, and 
looking at the lists of those that have been submitted to the Floral 
Committee of the National Chrysanthemum Society, it will be observed 
that white and yellow seem to predominate. Of the former colour

Descriptions of all these have appeared in these pages.—P. 
Grouping Chrysanthemums. 
Your correspondent “A. D.” (page 469) has struck the key note of 
what 1 trust will be the knell of Chrysanthemum groups of the old 
style—viz., a gigantic version of a cottager’s nosegay. But until our 
judges are educated up to a more artistic and harmonious blending of 
form and colour, there is little inducement to competitors to venture 
out of the beaten path. Of course a few of the highest class judges 
might appreciate an attempt at a new departure, but the ordinary run
