The Crysanthemums in the Temple Gardens.

When the beauty of the flower garden has all but passed
away, and Flora, alarmed by the nightly frosts which
winter sends before him to proclaim his coming, is preparing
to take her departure, she bestows upon us, ere she goes,
one of the choicest of her gifts, the crysanthemum. That
this long neglected flower is capable:of being cultivated into
a first-class one is most indisputably shown by the brilliant
display at present to be seen in the Temple Gardens—thanks
to the care and industry of Mr, Samuel Broome. In the
gardens of the Inner Temple the collection is immense ;
every size, shade, and form is there, from the pretty di-
minutive pompone to the magnificent and gigantic crysan-
themuw, the Queen of England, all, without exception,
flourishing most luxuriantly. A small portion of the upper
parterre has been covered with glass, and here the flowers
have reached unusual perfection, so that if the
arrangement has been tried as an experiment, the
result must have given the utmost satisfaction to all in-
terested in the beauty of the gardens, Amongst the flowers
that at once arrest attention, is Progne, a magnificent tall
fine-formed carmine flower; Novelty, a pure white; Gene-
ral Slade, Golden Queen, Grand Sultan, Aimee Ferriere, a
beautiful incurued flower, silver white, delicately tipped
with rose, Dupont de l'Eure, Seraph, Cleopatra, Cherub,
another splendid incurved flower, Lord Palmerston, and
Beverley, the finest specimen, in our opinion, in the whole
collection. The flower is a pure white, and the petals so
beautifully formed that it has all the appearance of wax
work. The porapones are exceedingly brilliant in variety and
as endless as the crysanthereums. The:lnner,Templars may
well feel proud in the possession of such a splendid collec-
tion, and cannot but be thankful to Mr. Broome, for the
care ho has bestowed in their cultivation. The Middle
Temple Gardens, though not so extensive, are equally re-
markable for their floral beautb,s, and notwithstanding the
limited area, Mr. Dale shows, with great success, how
much can be accomplished where the open space is limited.
The gardens are open daily to the public, but those who
wish to view the crysa nthemums must not delay their

TPE APPROACH OF WINTER IS ALREADY
'NG IN LANCASHIRE!—The return for the first Week
of November shows an increase of some 500 in the amount
°f pauperism. It seems clear that the number of applica-
tions will increase very rapidly, and already the Central
Committee has called the attention of the local committees
to extra precautions against the severity of the season.
They report that they and the Guardians have expended
altogether on the famine L 1,979,3631 out of which sum
£535,898 was obtained from " strictly local subscriptions,"
independent of the large sums spent in private charity.
They have a balance still of nearly £OO,OOO in hand, but
subscriptions are still required.
