THURSDAY,  DECEMBER  31,  1903. 
Chrysanthemum  Analysis. 
NCE  more  it  is  my  pleasure  to 
present  to  the  readers  of  the 
Journal  of  Horticulture,  by  the 
hind  and  willing  aid  of  those 
qualified,  an  up-to-date  selection 
Chrysanthemums  on  a  more 
comprehensive  scale  than  in  some 
years  past.  No  less  than  forty  persons 
are  taking  part  in  this  election,  every 
one  of  them  exhibitors  of  the  present  year. 
If  this  note  should  catch  the  eye  of  any  person 
who  has  in  the  past  kindly  assisted  in  this 
audit,  and  who  is  not  now  an  exhibitor,  he  will 
readily  understand  why  I  did  not  include  him. 
From  numerous  letters  received,  some  a  long 
time  before  the  time  to  issue  invitations,  asking 
when  the  audit  was  to  take  place,  and  hoping 
it  would,  I  am  convinced  that  Chrysanthemum 
cultivators  generally  appreciate  this  yearly 
analysis. 
To  make  the  selected  list  of  varieties  more 
comprehensive  and  useful,  I  have  added,  as 
briefly  as  possible,  the  colour  of  each;  as  those 
who  are  not  conversant  with  the  varieties,  and 
have  not  an  opportunity  to  visit  the  leading 
shows,  desire  such  information  in  making  a 
selection  of  varieties  for  the  coming  season  in 
as  concise  a  manner  as  possible.  If  some 
persons  should  think  the  colour  descriptions 
hardly  sufficient  in  some  varieties,  he  will 
understand  that  brevity  has  been  the  main 
object  in  thart  particular. 
Mainly  in  the  past  the  balloted  lists  have 
been  confined  to  Japanese  and  incurved 
varieties.  This  time,  to  make  the  selection 
more  useful  to  that  body  of  cultivators  who 
desire  Chrysanthemums,  but  not  in  au  exhi¬ 
bition  sense,  I  have  attached  selections  of 
other  sections,  such  as  decorative  varieties, 
single-flowered  and  pompon  kinds,  so  that 
such  cultivators  in  ever  so  small  a  manner 
canuot  say  that  this  yearly  audit  is  confined 
r)EADERS  are  requested  to  send  notices  of  Gardening
