Légende

The "Vesta" Chrysanthemum now in bloom in the Temple Gardens, 1858. 'The Temple Gardens offer at the present time, and will continue to offer throughout the ensuing month, a great attraction to the lovers of the Chrysanthemum, which here, in the centre of London, is so carefully cultivated, and with the most gratifying result. In fact, as Mr. Broome, the Temple gardener, states: "Our City garden may challenge all England in November." The Show, in borders of nearly 200 feet long, contains every variety, besides others trained in pots...[The chrysanthemums] are brought principally from the Continent, as in this country it is impossible to obtain the seed, on account of their flowering so late'. (The Vesta is ivory white in colour). From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
