Chrysanthemum  Analysis. 
NCE  more,  by  the  aid  of  those 
persons  who  are  deeply  inter¬ 
ested  in  the  welfare  of  the 
Autumn  Queeu,  and  who  are 
so  wishful  to  assist  the  inex¬ 
perienced,  I  am  able  to  present  an 
up-to-date  selection  of  Chrysan¬ 
themums,  fully  representing  the  pick  of 
the  Japanese  and  incurved  sections. 
Thinking  to  make  the  selection  still  more 
valuable,  I  restricted  tlio  voters  to  those  who 
are  at  present,  leading  exhibitors,  not  even 
adding  a  selection  myself.  If  this  note  should 
catch  the  eye  of  auy  person  who  has  in  the 
past  so  kindly  assisted  in  this  audit  and  who 
does  not  now  take'JM:  active  part  in  exhibiting, 
he  will  readily  understand  why  I  did  not 
invite  him  to  take  part  this  season. 
This  yearly  Chrysanthemum  audit  is  eagerly 
looked  for  as  far  away  as  Australia,  New 
Zealand,  and  America,  where  cultivators 
appear  to  be  equally  interested  in  the  flower; 
they  there  consider  this  Euglisli  selection  by 
votes  most  helpful  to  them  there  iu  knowing 
which  varieties  to  introduce  for  their  own 
culture.  A  selection  of  varieties  under  the 
method  adopted  appears  to  me  to  better 
illustrate  the  opinion  of  those  best  calculated 
to  judge  as  to  the  selection  of  a  collection,  as 
compared  to  the  making  up  of  a  list  of  those 
varieties  exhibited  at  any  prominent  show,  like 
that  of  the  N.C.S.  or  Edinburgh,  because 
uuder  these  newer  conditions  the  opinion  of 
those  widely  separated  is  obtained.  From  the 
list  of  the  voters  given  below,  it  will  be  secu 
that  no  fewer  than  seventeen  counties  are 
represented.  From  invitations  to  take  part, 
but  three  failed  to  send  in  selections,  no  fewer 
than  twenty-seven  responding  willingly  and 
promptly,  which  is  an  indication  of  the  deep 
interest  taken  in  the  selection.  One  person 
confined  his  Japanese  varieties  to  four  dozen, 
TYEADERS  an  requested  to  send  notices  of  Gardening 
I  A.  Appointments  or  Notes  of  Horticultural  Interest, 
intimations  of  Meetings,  Queries,  and  all  Articles  for 
Publication,  officially  to  “  THE  EDITOR,”  at
