The Rapid Improvement That has
Iseen Made In Them,

Tho Rapid improvements That has
Iseen Made In Them,
The american Agricultsrist for JAM
uery says: In no class Of flowers has
improvement been so rapid and wcnder
ful as In the chrysanthemum. In lees
than so years the small, insignificant, &C.
called "Artsmisis" Of former gardens hss
been developed into the gorgeous, mapl
hued, graceful chrysanthsmum Of tie
present day. With the single exception
Of the rose, 1t possesses now q frIn'
hold upon popular favor than any other
flower.
The range of color in these flowers isI
very wide, from the purest white to the
deepest velvet maroon, and through ali
imaginable shades Of yellow, orange,1
pink, brown, bronze, buff, purple and
crimson. Tints which few years ego
were hat family perceptible have grad
ually been developed into clear and de-
cided shades. In diversity of form the
chrysanthemum is not equaled by any
other flower. While there are several
| distinct Glasses of very decided charac-i
| teristic5, the continuous intermizing OF
types has been so prolific of new forms;
that the number Of variations In shape as
we'll as color has become limitleas. The
slightest pecuiiarities in individual flowers
will, in the hands of the skilful propa-
gator. often form the bases Of new types.
As decorative flower, for personal
adornnent as we'll as for tho embellish-
raent of rooms, the ohrysanthemum is es-
pecially valuable, not only for its in
trinsic beauty of form and variety OF
color, but also on account OF ita reinark-
able keeping quality A bnnch OF cut
flowers can easily be kept in water in
good condition for Two weeks. By de-
veloping both early and late vsrieties,
the Towering season has been extended,
80 that flowers may now be had as early
as August, while the later and harder
kinds do not bloom before November,
and are not injured by several degrees OF
frost.
All that seemed lacking to make the
ohrysanthemum perfect was fragrance,
and this has now been attained in the
new Seeding Nymphs@, exhibited by H.
w. Hales of Ridgewood, N. j., at the
resent New York chrysanthemum show.
The flowers are from one and a.halt "a
two inches in diameter, pure white, and
Weet-Ecented, strongly reminding one Of
the fragrance of our native water lily.
No wonder that flower endowed with
so many sterling qualities, and with the
possibility of still greater Developments
in its constitution is making enthusiastic
friends everywhere, and that brilliant ex.
bibitions solely devoted to it are held il
almost every large city in the land. THIS
chrysantbemum, while it reaches 1T
. highest perfection In the hands Of thu
} skiiful professional grower, is pre-emi
!. nently the flower for the masses. o.
t easy culture in the open border as we'll o,
the window garden, it is destined to fint
! place in every rural home where beauti
I full flowers are appreciated.
