^he October Chrysanthemum Show.— 
^ Not a large one but generally of 
excellent quality,was the verdict pronounced 
by the cult with respect to the first Octo¬ 
ber exhibition held by the National Chry¬ 
santhemum Society. Still further was the 
opinion general that it will grow, and of 
that there can be no doubt. Some little 
disappointment was expressed that after 
all so many of the Japanese blooms shown, 
and for the season remarkably well shown 
too, were but of the ordinary November 
bloomers pushed on. Well that is not 
exactly what is desired, but then all things 
must have a beginning, and growers may 
plead that, the more recently raised early 
bloomers of the Japanese section have not 
yet got into commerce. 
We shall expect, however, should the 
society determine to continue the October 
Show to see very many of these early 
bloomers exhibited another year, and there 
can be no doubt whatever that the holding 
of the Show will not only create a demand 
for these more precocious varieties, but also 
that it will stimulate raisers to work in the 
production of them in the finest form. So 
far as the incurved varieties are concerned 
there is little chance of seeing them in 
material abundance in October. The 
new R. A. Bahuant seems to be almost 
the only fairly good incurved that can be 
induced to bloom early naturally, but it 
may after all be the primogenitor of many
