CULTURE OF THE CHRYSANTHEMUM. 
11. The Pale Pink, Hort. Trails, vol. vi. p. 335, raised in Mr. 
Colville’s nursery, being a sportive branch from the last, and differing 
in nothing but colour. This and the three preceding doubtless sport 
mutually into each other, and are perpetuated by cuttings of their 
respective sports in the first instance, and offsets as well as cuttings 
afterwards; but all are liable to sport again, from pale pink through 
deeper pink, and copper or light orange to bright yellow; but their 
shoots and leaves are immutable. 
12. Expanded Light Purple, Hort. Trans, vol. v. p. 153, and vol. 
v. p. 421; and Bot. Mag. tab. 2256. Of middling size, and with 
flowers in the middle season (of its group), but nearly twice as large 
as the last, though resembling it in form, and far more handsome. 
13. Quilled Light Purple, Hort. Trans, vol. v. p. 155; and vol. v. 
p. 421. A sport only from the last, but now made permanent. 
INCURVING RANUNCULUS-FLOWERED. 
14. Incurving Lilac, Sweet, Brit. II. Gard. tab. 7; Curled Lilac, 
Hort. Trans, vol. v. p. 155, and p. 421. Also called the Quilled 
Lilac; Grows tall and flowers early, and is an elegant plant, allied 
to the preceding, and has produced the following one from a sportive 
branch. 
15. Curled Blush, Hort. Trans, vol. vi. p. 326. Has been called 
the Double Blush, and Double White, the flowers, which are rather 
early, large, and showy, dying off nearly of that colour. It is of 
middling stature in its group, and, although a sport only of the pre¬ 
ceding, is now an established and more beautiful variety than it. 
16. The Quilled Pink, Hort. Trans, vol. iv. p. 350, and vol. v. p. 
351, 420, 421, and Bot. Reg. vol. viii. tab. 616. A tall stature, and 
one of the very latest in blooming, but very handsome, and repaying 
by its beauty every care bestowed upon it by the gardener. It has , 
been called the most beautiful of all, but with me it yields to the 
gold-bordered red. 
17. Large Quilled Orange, Hort. Trans, vol. v. p. 152, tab. 3. 
(upper figure), and vol. v. p. 421. A tall and large latish-flowering 
variety, of considerable beauty, and at present uncommon. 
18. Gold-bordered Red, the Two-coloured Incurved of Hort. 
Trans, vol. vi. p. 332, 333. Of tall stature, very late, with the most 
perfect and beautiful flower of all its genus, although only of the 
middle size. The red petals are striped with gold beneath, and gol¬ 
den-tipped there, which tips, incurving strongly and gracefully, show 
the gold in a front view of the flower, which is golden likewise at its 
base within. I consider it the most complete of all.
