SATURDAY , NOVEMBER 12 th, 1892. 
K\v Chrysanthemums. — Our readers 
cannot have failed to note the extra¬ 
ordinary abundance ot new varieties of 
Chrysanthemums brought out for exhibition 
this season, not a few of which have already 
been certificated. This much is remarked 
even before the great shows have been held, 
and it will be no wonder if the numbers 
already apparently so numerous be doubled 
or trebled before the month is out. 
Naturally this exceeding prolificacy in 
new varieties renders selection of the best 
a difficult process, especially for those who 
may not be able to see them. It will be a 
matter of great value if, some time after the 
shows are over, some one who may have 
been fortunate enough to have seen most 
of the novelties of the season, will make a 
special selection of say a dozen of the very 
best, and publish the list for the benefit of 
the private growers who are unable to visit 
the leading shows. 
It will of course be folly for anyone to 
raise a cry against this free production of 
new sorts, because it would be as absurd 
as useless. We may find among the 
volume of chaff some few extra fine grains 
of corn, and it will be well to know which 
of the novelties will represent the corn. 
All who grow new sorts have of necessity 
to take a good deal upon trust. Even 
some of the finest and most assuredly 
reliable yet vary in different places. Many 
have to submit to severe propagation, and 
in such case in the hands of private growers 
do not reveal themselves fully under two 
years.
