point we observed a very handsome Japanese seedling with 
velvety crimson florets and a rich magenta reverse. This 
combination of colours is not particularly common. Another 
seedling was in the style of the old Mdllei. Lacroix, but the 
pure white drooping florets were longer, making altogether a 
bigger bloom. Mrs. Biachoffsheim is a, sport from Lily Mount- 
ford, having deep red flowers, marbled or striped with bright 
yellow on the reverse. This combination of colours is very 
striking and varies slightly from flower to flower. A very 
pleasing Jap. of light colour- is Lady Hopetoun, with silvery- 
pink florets and a white reverse. The florets' are more or less 
incurved at the tips, thus giving the flower a very distinct 
appearance. Mrs. Greenfield is a, clear bright yellow Jap. with 
massive-looking blooms. 
Madame Paolo Radaelli is an incurved Jap. of a delicate 
blush colour and of large size. It frequently turns up on the 
exhibition table in first-class form, so that it. is likely to hold 
its own for some years to come. Another variety belonging 
to the same section is Valerie Greenham, with silvery-blusih 
florets and a. purple edge, making it. practically a Piootee-edged 
variety. The florets are more or less interlacing. Mrs. Ham- 
bledon also belongs to the incurved Jap. section, and is mainly 
notable for the soft buff or old gold colour of the reverse of 
the florets. The inner face of the latter is of a soft red, but 
mostly hidden. Sensation is a. Jap. with very broad florets 
■striped with red on a. yellow ground, but the latter colour is 
the dominant one, giving the flower a striking and conspicuous 
appearance. Donald McLeod is a Jap. of very dwarf habit with 
drooping, broad, clear yellow florets that are concave at the 
tips. This was, indeed, amongst the dwarfest of the Chrysan¬ 
themums we- noted. Souvenir de Mine. Buron is a sport, from 
Elsie Fulton, with soft cana.ry-yellow florets that are consider¬ 
ably curled, giving the bloom a pretty appearance. Another 
incurved Jap. is Grandeur, with chestnut-crimson florets and a 
golden-yellow reverse. 
A very pretty new variety is Mrs. Street, with drooping, 
clear yellow florets and a white reverse. Most of the varieties 
are distinctly incurved at the tip, forming a ring somewhat 
similar to, but not the same, as in Nellie Pockeitt. T'ancred 
Basket isi a. Jap, with broad, spreading bronzy florets, making 
a flower of large size and distinct in its- way. La.dy Cranston 
has reverted to its parent, Mrs. Barkley, in eveiy collection as 
far as has been ascertained this year. An incurved Japanese 
with amaranth florets and a silvery reverse is Mrs. J. Marshall. 
At this point we again came upon a batch of Mrs. James Dunn, 
shown by Mr. Jones for the first time last year. Any bud will 
come good, and a batch of plants will keep up a display of 
flowers from October to December. S. T. Wright is a velvety- 
crimson Jap. with a. buff-yellow reverse, and the broad florets 
are of good substance, so that the variety ranks amongst the 
best of the dark crimson, Chrysanthemums. 
A curiosity in its way was that named Fimbriated Madaine 
Carnot, which is precisely like the original, except that the 
white florets are more or less deeply fimbriated or cut into 
fringes at the apex. For those who can grow Madame Carnot, 
this will prove an interesting companion and variation, the 
feature: of which is the lacerated florets. Another very hand¬ 
some Jap. was Madame Bertrand, with pure white and 'much- 
curled florets. A new variety raised by Mr. Jones and now 
to be put into commerce is that, named Lady Leonard. It may 
be described as an incurved Jap, with orange-red florets: and 
a golden-amber reverse. It is evidently one of very great 
promise, which, if it maintains this, will become very popular. 
Mine, de la Vertenville is a very striking Japanese variety 
with long tubular or quilled florets, The latter are white, 
tinted with blush and spreading widely, so that the bloom 
when fully developed is of immense size. Lady Mary Conyers 
is a Japanese variety after the style of Mrs. George Mileham, 
but the florets are stiffen and the blossoms larger. Mrs, W. 
Duckham is a Japanese variety with drooping clear yellow 
florets that are curled at the tips. In the same house: as this 
we noted a great number of seedlings of this year’s raising. 
Mostly all of them are now in bloom and some of the more 
promising of them included incurved and Japanese varieties of 
a rich rose-purple with silvery reverse and other colours. Mrs. 
Wheeler Bennett is a drooping-petalled, pale cinnamon Jap. 
with a clear yellow reverse and curled at the tips of the florets. 
We look upon it as a very pretty variety and one of which we 
expect to hear more in the future. Mrne. Paul Sahut is an 
incurved variety with white florets, edged with purple and of 
sufficient size to make itself felt on the show boards. 
A new variety of handsome appearance is Mrs. W. Elliott, 
a, Japanese variety with blooms of great depth and pure white, 
with more or less interlacing narrow florets. On, the other 
hand, Cicily recalls! Mine, de la Vertenville in having tubular 
florets, but in thisi respect the likeness ends, as the 1 long florets 
are of a clear yellow. Godfrey’s Pride has given great satis¬ 
faction this year in: the production of massive globular blooms 
of a rich crimson with a buff reverse. Mrs, J. Hadaway is a 
Darwinia hookeriana. (See p. 887). 
refiexed Jap. soft straw-yellow and more or less tinted with 
fawn, making a, pleasing and distinct, colour. Mrs. E. Crossley 
is an incurved Jap. an, improvement on J. R. Upton, and built 
much after the same form, but it isi more solid and amongst 
the largest of this type. The florets are of soft clear yellow, 
broad and more or less interlacing. 
A striking novelty in its way was" a new or unnamed seed¬ 
ling incurved variety, the: florets of which were rose-red on the 
reverse, while the inner and hidden face was of a, clear yellow. 
This 1 reverses the usual order in incurved varieties, for in most 
cases the darkest colour is on the inner face and therefore 
lost to the view of the beholder on, the show boards. We hope 
that advantage will be taken of this new break to greatly 
improve the incurved race in the matter of colour. Another 
seedling incurved variety has been, named E. J. Castle, which 
hasi deep crimson florets, and a mahogany-red reverse; this 
latter is, of course, the most expo-sed and conspicuous face in 
this particular type, and the variety isi still further- distin¬ 
guished by having the surface covered with very short bristles. 
Tire, above will constitute only a very small proportion of the 
extensive collection of varieties grown’ in Mr. Jones’ new nur¬ 
series, but, they show that the: owner is determined to keep up 
the standard of liis great speciality, and that, he has succeeded 
in this new nursery there can, be no question. 
It was rather too, late in the season to inspect the outdoor 
nursery, and the plants were mostly over. The men were, 
however, harvesting the Potato crop, and on the ground tve
