CHRYSANTHEMUM MRS. J. C. 
NEVILLE. 
The lists of white and of yellow Chrysanthemums 
have been augmented during the past two seasons by 
some exceedingly high-class varieties ; and among 
good substance, prettily forked or notched at the 
ends. They droop and curl gracefully, and incurve 
at the tips. It was shown in grand style at the 
November show of the National Chrysanthemum 
Society, by Mr. H. J. Jones, of Ryecroft Nursery,

Historical Sketch. 
The subject we have arranged for consideration this 
evening is one which has held an important position 
in the affairs of all ages, and old-time history has 
Chrysanthemum Mrs. J. C. Neville, 
those of the foremost rank must be included Mrs. J. 
C. Neville. It is even thought that this grand 
variety may surpass any other white now grown. It 
s of immense size, being :o in. to 12 in. across and 
of proportionate depth ; the petals are wide and of 
Lewisham, who furnished the photograph from 
which the accompanying illustration was prepared. 
To secure the best exhibition blooms the plants 
should be pinched during the third week in March, 
and second crown buds should be secured. 
left on record many classical fables and legends to 
illustrate the attractions of fragrant plants and trees.
