CHRYSANTHEMUMS, 
AND HOW TO GROW THEM. By C. E. SHEA, Esq. 
A Practical and Scientific Treatise, that will be of 
great service to the oldest and most successful exhibitor as 
well as to the youngest grower of the Autumn Queen. Mr. 
Shea has by the treatment explained in this treatise had a Ion j 
series of triumphs, to which this season he has added: 11 keen 
competition with our most noted growers at the Kent County, 
Watford, and Crystal Palace, finishing with the difficult feat of 
gaining first honours with forty-eight Japs, at the Royal Aqua¬ 
rium Show on November 10th. 
In additionto the above, a Paper by Mr. H. Shoesmith is also 
included in my new Chrysanthemum Catalogue, which also 
contains the most complete list of new varieties ever brought 
together, and embraces selections from all the known Chrysan¬ 
themum world.

SATURDAY , JANUARY gth, 1892 , 
^he Market Gardeners’ Association.— 
This association of market gardenergj 
nurserymen, etc., which was founded in 
1829, and incorporated in 1889, merits far 
greater support from the members of the 
trade specially concerned than it seems to 
receive. We gather from a circular 
recently issued, that whilst the present 
membership is not stated there is ample 
room for expansion. It would seem so far 
that there are few provincial members, as 
every officer and committeeman resides in 
the immediate neighbourhood of the 
metropolis; still the Association would 
willingly include all branches of the trade. 
So far, it would seem that the market 
trade is the only horticultural section which 
is specially represented. The objects of 
the Association chiefly are to protect the 
interests of the members in all that relates 
to their trading concerns, rights and 
privileges, and also to" assist, so far as 
is possible, with financial aid, any present 
or old members and their families who may ■ 
need a helping hand in adversity. Such 
aims as these are eminently meritorious, 
and worth}? of all praise. They appeal 
especially to the market trade, because it 
is certain that those associated with it are 
from various causes very frequently requir¬ 
ing the assistance of a body such as this is, 
whilst there can be no doubt whatever but 
that the charitable branch of the Association 
can always find room for its development.
