Odd Formed Varieties 
This type in most instances is unsatisfactory for general commercial use. The reason is 
the petals are so long and fragile that they cannot, without injury, be shipped and handled 
as most Chrysanthemums are. To those who arrange their own products they are quite 
serviceable for the grace and beauty they impart. 
Standard Varieties 
Most of the varieties in this section originated in Japan where they are considered the 
most beautiful of the entire Chrysanthemum family. They are indeed very ynique with 
their feathery and threaddike petals.

the outer extremities.
