Bouquet d'Or, held well above it; in the other, covering the October, 

 upright supports of an old barn, and led thence on to the roof Chrysan- 

 supported by a rough wooden trellis. The uses for these large themum 

 Vines are many and diverse if given loam and plenty of 

 manure they can be counted on for rapid growth. 



Throughout September and October and the early part of 

 November, outdoor Chrysanthemums are in beauty, and most 

 useful and easy to grow. In some soils they stand the Winter 

 well, but a long spell of cold damp often kills them; it is 

 desirable therefore to take up some plants of all varieties, store 

 them for the Winter in boxes in a cold frame or outhouse, and 

 divide them when replanting in the Spring; or cuttings can be 

 made in the Autumn and grown on through the Winter. 



One border is now gay with clumps of cream-white 

 Madame Desgranges, a bright violet Michaelmas Daisy and 

 the great white Pyretbrum uliginosum^ with its bunches of large 

 Daisy-like flowers. Ry croft Glory blooms in the same border 

 a little later, and lasts till the end of November, blending well 

 with the golds and yellows of the trees in their autumn dress. 

 The single white Mary Anderson with just the faintest touch 

 of pink also does well, but all the singles, though so pretty, are 

 less useful, being easily spoilt by bad weather. 



There are a number of kinds worth growing if space can 

 be given them in an open sunny border. The following are 

 some of the best :
