Rambling Observations 

 of a Roving Gardener 



Chrysanthemum sibiricum has made 

 a fine display in the Arnold Arbore- 

 tum this fall. This attractive plant 

 is still rare in gardens, although 

 it was introduced into this country 

 fourteen years ago by Professor Jack 

 who found it on Poukan-shan, the 

 mountain close to the city of Seoul. 

 This late-flowering chrysanthemum 1b 

 perfectly hardy; it produces seeds 

 freely, and spreads also by under- 

 ground shoots, so that once estab- 

 lished it is likely to be a permanent 

 feature in the garden. It is a shrub 

 eighteen or twenty inches tall, with 

 slender stems, woody at base, deeply 

 divided, pale green, pungently a-o- 

 matic leaves and white daisy like 

 flowers an inch and a half In diameter. 



A form with pale rose-colored flow- 

 ers has been raised in this country. A 

 handsomer plant now in bloom Is 

 Chrysanthemum nlpponlcum which Is 

 commonly cultivated in Japanese gar- 

 dens and which Is believed to grow 

 naturally on the shores of some of the 

 smaller islands of northern Japan. It 

 Is a stout-stemmed, compact-round- 

 topped shrub which under conditions 

 favorable to it grows from two to 

 three feet tall and three or four feet 

 through. The flowers are produced 

 on long stout stalks, each from 

 the axil of one of the upper leaves; 

 and as the flower-stalks increase 

 in length from the lowest to the 

 one In the axil of the topmost leaf the 

 flowers are arranged In a broad flat 

 cluster in which buds continue to open 

 during many weeks or until they are 

 destroyed by cold. The flowers are 

 daisy-like with broad, pure white ray- 

 flowers, and are from two to two and 

 a half inches across. 



The flowers of this Japanese Chrys- 

 anthemum are sometimes injured In 

 Massachusetts by October frosts. It 

 Is better suited, like the Japanese 

 Anemone, to regions which enjoy a 

 longer autumn than that of Massachu- 

 setts. It grows well in the neighbor- 

 hood of Philadelphia and there are 

 good plants on Long Island. With the 

 protection of a pit or a cool greenhouse 

 it would probably continue to open Its 

 flower-buds until Christmas.
