Chrysanth 
Never in the annals of Chrysanthemum history has such phenomenal success been achieved by any raiser of new seedlings as by MR. H. WEEK8, 
in the sensational productions exhibited by him from time to time this season before the Floral Committee. When it is remembered that in the small collection 
of a private gardeD, ODly a very limited number of plants can be grown of each variety, and the difficulty, therefore, o securing e requir . .. 
stipulated for by the N. C. Society on a given day, it is, indeed, remarkable that no less than Seven F.rst Class certificates shou d be awarded^ O her varieties 
equally good, had to forego their Candidature from the simple fact that only two flowers could be had ready at the same time, or else the total number of 
Certificates would have been larger. __ __ __ __ __ __ _ 
THIS IS INDEED SUCCESS. 
I have the honour to announce that I have secured the entire stocks of all these Magnificent Novelties, and shall distribute same, together with 
a iew of my own, and some of the finest Australian seedlings ever introduced.

Insects Injurious to Orchard and Bush 
“ Fruits. *—After many years of study of 
the subject of economic entomology, and 
her annual reports of observations on in¬ 
jurious insects, &c., it is but natural that 
Miss Ormerod should desire to find some 
outlet for the information she has accumu¬ 
lated on the subject since the publication of 
the two editions of her well-known work on 
Injurious Insects. In the latter work she in¬ 
cludes a number of insects that are in¬ 
jurious to forest trees, but in the work she 
now places at the disposal of the public, she 
appeals to fruit growers in particular, and 
to gardeners generally,who have hardy fruits 
under their charge. The book is of large 
octavo size and runs to 286 pages, including 
a good index—always a matter of primary 
importance for reference to the contents in 
this busy age. Printing, paper, and the 
large type used leave nothing to be desired ; 
while a large number of well executed illus¬ 
trations greatly simplify the identification 
of the various insects with which the author 
deals The price at which the book is pub¬ 
lished places it within reach of gardeners, 
whose superfluous cash is seldom anything 
but scanty. 
The subject of economic entomology had 
received but meagre attention in this 
country till recently, and the life histories 
of a great many insects that infest our gar¬ 
dens and orchards were but little known 
when Miss Ormerod commenced her wri¬ 
tings upon the subject. Indeed, it was 
often necessary to borrow from Continental 
and American sources particulars concern¬ 
ing the life history of certain insects, as well 
as the remedies or preventive measures, 
most effective, practical, and economic in 
each respective case. The subject is 
larger and more important than the casual 
observer would imagine even within the 
restricted area of the British Isles. 1 he
