Since writing the above I have received Calvat's catalogue, and on further inves- tigation find he is offering a new variety under the name of Marquise Vicounti Venosta, which is a pure white of the Morel type. The similarity of the two names will be rather confusing, the only difference is the final "e" on Marquise. Marquis Viscounti Venosta was one of the best "twelve blooms distinct" at the exhibition of the English National Chrys- anthemum Society at Crystal Palace, November 10. E. D. S. A NEW WHITE VARIETY. Dorothy new late white chyrs- anthemum, is a novelty, feeing the very latest of them all. As a keeper it is a wonder. Flowers seen now are just as good as the best varieties of November. This variety originated with Harry Faust, of Werion, Pa. He thinks it is a sport from Bonnaffon, although it does not so much resemble that kind, appear- ing more like the early white Queen. A spring blooming sort is now in order, and this will complete the cycle and place the chrysanthemum in line with the car- nation and the rose, a state of affairs which we hope will be deferred until the long-looked for blue variety makes its appearance.

This beautiful yellow primrose,Butter- cup, of almost the exact color of a but- tercup, may not be a new plant, but it certainly is newly found out, and now that it has been discovered is not likely to ever return to oblivion, as it has proved itself to be a variety of sterling merit. A plant in a 6-inch pot carries hundreds of blossoms, ranging in size from three quarters to an inch in diame- ter.
