During the season of plenty people are 
apt to forget the value of Chrysanthe¬ 
mums for cut flowers in autumn. Early- 
flowering varieties belonging to the 
Japanese section, Pompons, Anemone- 
Pompons and single Chrysanthemums are 
all highly suited for this purpose and 
may be grown in pots, tubs or in the open 
border. Those which are intended to 
bloom latest in the open should be planted 
in sheltered situations to prevent damage 
by frost and wind during November. 
Many who have their business to attend 
cannot, of course, devote much time to 
the growing of plants in pots, but a large 
number belonging to the above sections 
are of the very easiest cultivation in the 
open air. They require only to be rooted 
and planted out at certain distances apart 
according to the height they naturally 
attain, and during the„season they will 
make nice bushy specimens that will fur¬ 
nish large supplies of flowers during Oc¬ 
tober and November. 
Some varieties are apt to lose their 
colour if left to develop to their fullest 
extent in the open, but if cut when they 
are commencing to open and placed in 
water they will expand beautifully in the 
shelter afforded by a room and retain the 
same hue, or nearly, as when opening. 
These flowers may be used for dinner 
table decoration and room decoration 
generally in vases and glasses of simple 
or ornamental pattern. Those who visited 
the autumn exhibition of the National 
Chrysanthemum Society at the Crystal 
Palace could see that most of the above 
types, but especially decorative varieties 
and singles, are now becoming more ap¬ 
preciated and more extensively used for 
decorative purposes. 
Black Currant Resister. 
Maclaren and Son 
During the fruiting season we received 
a large branch of a new Black Currant 
named Resister from Messrs. Hugh Low 
and Co., Bush Hill Park, Middlesex. 
Black Currants are rather difficult to re¬ 
present, but the accompanying illustra¬ 
tion may serve to show the heavy crop 
borne by this new variety. Every shoot 
of last year’s growth, whether long or 
short, bore an ample cluster on each 
spur, not merely one string, but several 
strings from each. The most important 
feature about this variety is that hitherto 
it has entirely resisted the ravages of the 
Black Currant Mite. Messrs. Low and 
Co. inform us that readers of The Gar¬ 
dening World, whose bushes have suf¬ 
fered from the Black Currant Mite, can 
test this variety if they write to the intro¬ 
ducers of the variety in the autumn. We 
may merely add that nearly the whole of 
the berries on the branch were ripe, and 
the quality was excellent.
