securing the bunches firmly. 
Size of Chrysanthemums. — W.D.W.: Edwin 
Beckett is a bloom similar to Sunflower, but deeper 
and bulkier, l'he size of the bloom of almost any 
variety depends upon the skill of the grower. The 
blooms of Edwin Beckett which we have seen would 
measure 6 in. in diameter; Wm. Tricker, 6 in. ; and 
Louis Boehmer, 6J in. to 7$ in. The other variety, 
W. K. Woodcock,"we have not seen, as it is not so 
common apparently as the others in the south. 
Names of Fruits. — Acle (no name given) :
