. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. 86 The American Florist. Feb. IS, samples of cultural skill. There was something about these new seedlings that struck one as being unique. A large display of big, heavily built Japa- nese blooms of the greatest size and sub- stance is not an ordinary feature at a French chrysanthemum show, except per- haps in the case of a grower like Ernest Calvat. But in the case of the novelties staged by the Marquis there was a dis- tinctive mark of high cultivation, com- bined with great originality of form and color. Every variety shown was repre- sented by five colossal blooms. In 1902 he was awarded nine first-class certifi- cates for varieties that were also included in his 1903 exhibit. In 1903 fourteen other varieties were awarded this dis- tinction, and they fully deserved the recognition they obtained. Where weight and solidity are required, and this is especially the case in such classes as the big vase class at the Eng- lish N. C. S. show, these novelties will be invaluable to exhibitors. High class quality and liberal culture will result in the production of blooms that it will be hard to beat. In course ot time it seems probable some of these novelties will find their way to America, although it was stated that the raiser only grew for his own pleasure and did not intend to sell them. A brief mention may therefore be useful to any growers in the States who are interested in the introduction of new chrysanthemums. Only those that have been certificated by the Paris floral com- mittee are named, viz.: Baronne Renee Reille. Belle L'Isloise. Mme. Marie Carrel. Mile. Rose il'EIchingen. Mme. Brejae. Souvenir de Bruselles. Vierge Montbrunoise. Triomphe de Montbrun. Souvenir de la Comtesse Reille. The above are of 1902. Those of 1903 Nyphon. Poupoule. Angele. Bebe. Rose. Anne-Marite. Germaine. Baron de Labusquiere. Charles Bacque. Marquis de la Motte St. Pierre. Mile. Lasies. Souvenir de Lombo
