THE CHRYsANTHEMUM.
Discussion ON Favorito Flower at the
horticultural Society.

The regular monthly meeting of the Horticul-
tural society was well attended last night. A
very interesting essay was read by Mr.. John T. c.
Clarke. the secretary, on the old fashioned chrys-
anthemum. Mr.. Clarke said that he made the
distinction between the old fashioned and the
new fashioned because the flower of to-day had
very little resemblance TO the flower Of
quarter of century ago The
latter, in his opinion, was far pret-
tier than is the chrysanthemum of tine present.
He described how, by means of grating, the
flowers had been changed and the various shades
the flower assumed at different stages of the
growth, He also gave history Of the flower,
which was listened to intently, and was highly
commended. The essay gave rise to considerable
discussion, during which many valuable sugges
tions were advanced Addresses were also made
by the members of the society.
