This variety is a very desirable one for growing out of doors, from its long continuance in bloom, and the flowers being so very large and fine—the foilage is luxuriant, and if the plant be trained against a wall, it will grow very tall, and make a beautiful appearance until a late season;—the Chrysanthemums like a strong soil.
