hands of a large number of cultivators. The florets 
are incurved, more or less spirally twisted, broad, 
blunt and roughly bearded. We shall be eager to 
note its behaviour in our climate.

EXMOUTH YELLOW. 
Six blooms of this novelty were exhibited at the 
and seems destined to make its appearance pretty 
frequently on the show boards in the near future. 
See illustration for which we are indebted to Mr. 
Godfrey, and which was prepared from one of the 
blooms shown at the Royal Aquarium on October 
5tb, 6th, and 7th. The florets are of great length, 
medium width, decurved, twisted and more or less 
incurved at the tips, making altogether a massive 
well-built and well-balanced bloom. 
lofty vineries, where they get the maximum quantity 
of light and air, both of which are essential, if the 
blooms are to open properly, and to keep their beauty 
for very long. The Dover House collection com¬ 
prises the greater part of the best standard varieties, 
including many of comparatively recent introduction. 
All the plants, it may be mentioned here, are in

October show of the National Chrysanthemum 
Society by the raiser Mr. W. J. Godfrey, Rolle

DOVER HOUSE, ROEHAMPTON. 
Upwards of twelve hundred plants are grown here, 
a number that cannot fail to be a heavy strain upon 
the resources of any other than a very large estab¬ 
lishment. Dover House is the property of C. J. 
Morgan, Esq., and under the able management of 
Mr. H. J. McLeod the gardens are widely famed for 
the thoroughness of their upkeep. The best of the 
Chrysanthemums are accommodated in a range of 
usually the Case in the majority of private establish¬ 
ments, where the Japs , by reason of their greater 
decorative value and consequent popularity both with 
gardeners and their employers, monopolise the 
greatest share of attention. Instead of distributing 
the ‘‘incurves" about amongst the japs., Mr. McLeod 
has staged most of them in a corner by themselves. 
Lord Wolseley was the most conspicuous variety in 
this section. This is a purple-red sport from Prince
