NEW TRANSPLA (|-i;t* p:ilin ill t NTING TRUCK. rausportation.) importer of chrysanthemums into the United States is necessary to a proper understanding of the opinion herein expressed. In the iirst place it is a long journey. Chrysanthemums either from France or England are in the boxes ten days to two weeks before they reach our shores, and after they arrive in this country they still have a longer trip before reaching our establishment than from Paris to London. Shipments from Eng- land or France are scarcely ever received before the middle of March, and frequently, as in this case, toward the end of April. It is necessary after this date to nurse the stock back into health and obtain cuttings for the fall blooming. Thus it will be seen that the first year's trial of imported chrysanthe- mums is apt to result in decisions which are not conclusive, to say the le_ast. Especially has this been true with vari- eties from England. Practically all of the leading exhibition varieties of Eng- land have been imported into this coun- try and tested and results are nearly always disappointing, unless it has been possible to give a long season of growth with the consequent possibility of obtaining an early bud. The Marquis de Pins' set was received the latest of all the importa- tions last spring, yet we consider that they made a fine record. A more robust and healthy lot of varieties it would be impossible to find, and we have never had a better average showing in the first year of importation. Among the sorts showing merit from a strictly exhibition standpoint are the year, though somewhat lacking in pet- alage, which fault should be overcome with an earlier bud. Odette was pro- nounced the finest novelty of the year by many visitors to our greenhouses. This variety and the two previously mentioned were past their prime at the time of the exhibition. Vierge Montbrunoise is probably the fine
