(Hl)l£isantf)emuin celliucttllin. Natural Order: Comftositce — Aster Fci7nily. 
EELSIIAPED goldflower is the significance of the scientific 
name ot this plant — carinatum, from the Latin carina , a keel; 
and Chrysanthemum, from two Greek words, chrysos , golden, 
and anthemon , a flower. It is not naturalized in this country, 
though it has now been cultivated here for a number of years. 
It is nearly a century since they were introduced into Great 
% Britain (in 1789). They are indigenous to Northern Africa, China, 
Japan, and other Oriental countries. The primitive color was yellow, 
hence the Gi eeks called it Chrysanthemum; but now the colors are 
vai ious, being white, crimson, maroon, and yellow of several shades. 
They blossom very late in the fall, and, if transferred to the house, 
will bloom until Christmas, requiring only to be kept from positive 
freezing.

OOUL, wilt thou love, where to love is losing? 
Long wilt thou wander in ways that err; 
Dally with hopes, that thy barren choosing 
Finds fleeting as steps of a wayfarer. 
Wilt thou not turn and say to her spirit, 
Lo! I that love thee will love no more? 
this is a hard thing that we inherit; 
To love and to weep, lo! this is sore. -Barton Grey. 
WAN brightener of the fading year, 
* V Chrysanthemum; 
Rough teller of the winter near, 
Chrysanthemum: 
Gray, low-hung skies and woodlands sere 
Wet, leaf-strewn ways with thee appear; 
Yet well I love to see thee here, 
Chrysanthemum! 
Yes, well I love to see thee here, 
Chrysanthemum! 
-%Aj— 
Thou comest when the rose is dead, 
Chrysanthemum — 
When pink and lily both have fled, 
Chrysanthemum: 
When hollyhocks droop low the head" 
And dahlias litter path and bed, 
I hou bloomest bright in all their stead, 
Chrysanthemum, 
And back recall’st their beauty fled. 
— W. C. Bennett.
