As soon as the cuttings are rooted tliey 

 should be potted and placed close to the 

 light in a temperate house. After they 

 are rooted through they ouglit to be 

 "ladually hardened and at no time have 

 the growth forced. Give plenty of air 

 so they can grow into sturdy plants.

 flowers for Christmas by giving the

CHRYSANTHEMUM F. B. HAYES. 



\\ (■ ine-iut lirrewitb an enjiraving 

 from a photograpli taken Nov. 2o. of a 

 house of chrysanthemnm F. B. Hayes, 

 grown by William Sim, Cliftondale, 

 Mass. This crop was cut for Thanks- 

 giving, but Mr. Sim says it can be 

 brought in later by growing cooler. 



The eolor of the flower is pink and 

 it is a good seller, the flowers having 

 been on the market only a few days 

 when the entire house was cut. The 

 plants were set 6x8 and three flowers 

 were grown to a plant. The plants 

 were 2i feet in height.
