STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 133 



But it is very importaut that these plants must be kept free from 

 insects, must have plenty of root room until blooming time, must 

 have sufficient manure and all the sun, and should be bountifully 

 sup])lied with water. 



These plants are brought to flower very early if kept warm, but 

 the season of flowering may be extended by keeping the plants cool. 

 The flowers will be more perfect if kept cool, although the Japanese 

 require more heat than the other varieties. If we desire very large 

 or very perfect specimens we must allow but few buds to remain on 

 the plants. The chrysanthemum, although nearly hardy, must not 

 be frosted in the autunin. 



Here is a list of good varieties selected from a collection of two 

 hundred. We must remember that this plant is badly mixed up as 

 regards class, and no two persons agree on the class of some varieties. 

 We must also remember that the same plant may have three or four 

 different colored flowers; or the single flowers may come out, one 

 color mature another, and decline in still another. This list is from 

 the best growers in our country, and many of them are the prize 

 varieties in England and America. 



In listing, the first ones on the list are the light or white, run- 

 ning to the darkest in color.
