CHR YSANTHEMU MS! 
O UR yearly increase in the sale of both Plants 
and Cuttings arises certainly from the fact 
that all varieties (1,400) are planted out and grown 
in the open, pure, country fields, cut down early— 
not allowed to flower—large clumps removed and 
replanted near the glass and light. Stock from these 
are perfect, and the secret why all those we supply 
carry success wherever they go, striking easily, 
growing quickly, and producing larger flowers. We 
cordially invite all to

M Successful Jubilee Celebration.— 
The exhibition got together on the 
first day of the celebration of the Jubilee of 
the National Chrysanthemum Society was 
remarkable for the extent and quality of the 
exhibits. Excitement may be said to have 
centred around four or five leading points in 
the exhibition, namely, the leading classes 
for cut blooms, the groups of plants, the 
trained specimens, the fruits and vegetables, 
as far as both gardeners and the public 
were concerned. The great efforts put 
forth by the society in order to get up a 
first-class exhibition to commenorate the 
event of its Jubilee, proved by results to be 
in every way worthy of it. Fine as last 
year’s show was, the present was by no 
means a repetition of it. The different 
arrangement of the classes, and the valuable 
prizes offered were the means of drawing 
out individual talent in various directions. 
The number of competitors in the classes 
for cut blooms of sixty Japanese, and sixty 
incurved Chrysanthemums, was something 
remarkable. The amount of time and 
energy that must have been spent by
