The  Chrysanthemum  Season. 
E  are  now  in  the  very  thick  of 
the  Chrysanthemum  season ; 
the  flowers  of  Chrysanthemums 
abound  everywhere  ;  in  our 
glass  houses,  on  warm  and  sunny 
walls  in  the  open,  in  the  flower 
■  shops,  and  in  our  streets  the 
itinerant  flower-seller  vends  them,  and 
’  many  a  passer-by,  struck  with  their 
brilliance,  purchases  a  bunch  to  brighten  the 
home.  It,  is  doubtful  if  all  this  happy  plente¬ 
ousness  of  floral  wealth  would  have  been  ours 
if  Robert  Fortune  had  not,  in  1862,  on  his 
second  visit  to  the  Extreme  Orient,  introduced 
several  varieties  he,  after  immense  labour, 
obtained  in  Japan. 
Fortune’s  varieties  were  the  Eastern  repre¬ 
sentatives  of  a  new  type,  for  they  differentiated 
themselves  from  anything  we  had  in  culti¬ 
vation  at  that  time  at  home,  as  some  were 
spotted  and  striped,  others  were  of  fantastic 
forms,  and  obtained  the  name  of  “  Dragons. 
The  originals  of  the  present  day  spidery  types 
were  among  them  ;  others  were  laciniated  ; 
and  as  the  veteran  John  Salter  wrote,  “they 
had  the  character  of  Japanese  Pinks  rather 
than  Chrysanthemums.”  At  the  time  of  the 
introduction  of  the  Japanese  form  raisers  of 
Chrysanthemums  in  this  country  favoured 
the  formal  incurved  type  ;  and  the  proba¬ 
bilities  are  that  among  the  many  seedlings 
raisers  rejected  as  not  conforming  to  the 
incurved  or  reflexed  forms,  there  were  some 
probably  near  to  the  original  Japanese  type, 
for  the  Chrysanthemum  has  always  been 
found  to  be  variable  in  the  matter  of  seed¬ 
lings. 
When  the  first  Japanese  varieties  were 
introduced  the  growers  for  exhibition  at  that 
time  frowned  upon  them  and  refused  to  admit 
them  to  their  collections.  But  some  had 
keener  vision,  and  saw  in  these  singular  and
