In the fifty foregoing Chrysanthemums there is splendid 

 choice for colour, grouping, etc. They are all of good 

 habit and constitution, and thoroughly reliable. 



To obtain the best result, when planting these in 

 beds or borders, a system of massing should be resorted 

 to. The borders should not be less than 6 feet wide, 

 which would admit of three different heights being used: 

 the Pompons or dwarf Japanese at the front, then 

 medium in centre, and lastly the Masse or other groups 

 at the back. If the border allows, a good plan would 

 be to plant all varieties in threes at least the front rows 

 should be carried out on this system and again mass the 

 whole of the colours in broad belts, just the same as a 

 well-designed colour scheme in a herbaceous border. 

 Should small beds be utilised for the planting of Chrys- 

 anthemums, only use at most one or two colours. This 

 will have a far more telling effect than if a dozen diffe- 

 rent varieties were planted there. A mass of colour in 

 the distance attracts the eye, with a feeling of impulse to 

 view it closer.
