may require, adding anything to them which will conduce’ in any 
way whatsoever to neatness and cleanliness. ; 
I cannot better conclude this short paper than by mentioning a few 
of Mr. Salter’s new varieties of Chrysanthemums, which, I feel assured, 
when grown in connection with the old well-established favourites, will 
form an extremely beautiful collection. I paid his nursery a visit, and 
was rewarded by a sight which would delight every lover of these 
beautiful flowers.

light pink; Bob, dark brown; Ceres, purplish pink ; General Canrobert, 
bright yellow; Helene, rosy violet; Cedo Nulli, pure white (Anemone- 
centred) ; La Vogue, yellow, tipped brown ; Andromeda, cream yellow, 
tipped brown; Modéle, good white; St. Thais, chestnut; Salaman, 
carmine; Madame Rossalon, rosy lilac; Duruflet, rosy carmine; Dr. 
Bois Duval, dark red ; Maid of Saragossa, rosy lilac; Baron d’Adsward, 
lilac and white; Bernard de Rennes, yellow and buff.

Peel, Argentine, Aureole, Autumnum, Beryl, Brilliant, Bijou de l’Horti- 
culture, Columbine, Croesus, Drin-Drin, Fenella, Fleurette, Justin 
Tissier, Madame Alibert, Madame Fould, Madame Miellez, Riquiqui, 
Aurore Boreale (Anemone-centred Pompone, in which there is great 
beauty), Golden Cedo Nulli, Astrea, Mr. Shirley Herbert, Mr. Astie, 
M. Achille Dutour, La Sapagon, Atropos, Kugene Langanlet, Golden 
Drop, Mr. Gush, Reine des Anemones. 
Large varieties, the best, both for colour, size, and abundance of 
bloom, with good habits, for pot culture: Annie Salter, yellow ; Cloth 
of Gold, golden yellow ; Christine, rosy pink; Valérie, brown and 
orange; Vesta, pure white; Aurora, yellow; Cassandra, white, tipped 
rose: Madame Closs, rosy lilac; Pilot, deep rose: Mount Vesuvius, 
large fiery red; Sulphureum superbum, sulphur; Leon Lequay, lilac ; 
Progne, crimson carmine; Madame Domage, pure white; Bossuet, 
carmine; Princess Marie, rosy pink; Jul.e Lagravie, dark crimson ; 
Auguste Mie, red, tipped with gold; Hermione, light rosy pink; 
Golden Lotus, bright yellow; Prince Albert, orange crimson. Miss 
Augusta (Holland), is a great advance on all preceding varieties in its 
way. 
All the above I have myself thoroughly inspected and selected, and 
can recommend to any person desirous of growing this popular flower. 
Let them only treat them after the maner just described, and I hesi- 
tate not to say that they will be highly gratified with the result.
