red with golden tips; Venus , large delicate lilac-peach (figured 
by us last year) ; and Virgin Queen , pure snow-white. 
Amongst the Chrysanthemums to be let out this season there 
are, besides the above, Crimson Velvet : , glaring dark-crimson ; 
Fair Margaret , pale rose-anemone; Gloria Mundi , seedling of 
Jar din des Plantes , and an improvement on that fine flower; 
Golden Beverley , a fine canary sport of white Beverley; Hereward , 
fine purple and silvery back; Lady Palmerston , fine large prim¬ 
rose ; Sabina , straw, white and yellow centre ; Mozart , dark red, 
bronze and gold; Countess of Granville , white, very deep and 
full. 
Of the varieties figured in our Plate, Iona (Fig. 1) is a beau¬ 
tifully rich-coloured flower, bright golden flower, well filled 
up to the centre, without any artificial dressing. John Salter 
(Fig. 2) is a rich bright orange, of very large size, and well 
meriting the name it bears; the petals are backed with Indian 
red, and are larger than in Iona, the flower altogether being 
one of the finest ever raised.
