from the sand the first week of April. 

 This will allow for them to be given 

 another shift into 3-inch pots early in 

 May and planted into the benches the 

 first week in June. A list of good 

 commercial varieties for early October 

 flowering are: Polly Rose (.white), 

 Unaka (pink), Monrovia (yellow). 

 Mile. Arlette Dubois (white), Virginia 

 Poehlmann (white), Donatello (yel- 

 low), Pacific Supreme (pink). White 

 and Pink Ivory. Mile. Clementine Tou- 

 set. Yellow Touset, Ramapo, Mme. 

 day and Mrs. H. W. Buckbee. 



The mid-season, or all varieties that 

 mature their blooms between October 

 25 and November 15, are next in order. 

 Taking this section as a whole as re- 

 gards their propagation, they will av- 

 erage more perfect and larger blooms 

 from April-rooted stock than from any 

 other, but let me emphasize the great 

 importance of caring for the young 

 plants directly they are rooted, be- 

 cause a few days either way in the 

 time of the plants' propagation is not 

 of such a vital importance as is the 

 care that is given them afterwards. 

 The mid-season varieties that have 

 stood the test are so well-known to 

 you that it is needless for me to enum- 

 erate a list of varieties, but there is 

 one point that I feel I should bring 

 out. and th'at is. we are drawing the 

 lines too close on color. There is al- 

 together too much of the sameness as 

 regards color among the chrysanthe- 

 mums grown for commercial purposes 

 and we find that the people are de- 

 manding a few of the other colors be- 

 sides white, pink and yellow, such as 

 light bronze, maroon, old gold and the 

 red and crimsons. 



After-Culture. 

 As I have mentioned before, after 

 the young stock has been potted from 

 the sand give them as natural a treat- 

 ment as can be given. Do not over- 

 water or -allow them to become aust- 

 dry. Do not force by high tempera- 

 ture or close conditions. Keep them 

 clean of every kind of insect and give 

 them plenty of ventilation on every 

 favorable occasion.
