CHR YSANTHEMUMS 



[CH. 



Amongst the Yellow there is Solid d'Octobre, W. H. 

 Lincoln, George Wermig, Bouquet d'Or; of the Whites, 

 Madame Desgrange, Avalanche, La Vierge, and Lady 

 Fitzwygram; Lilacs, Emmie Frizeon, toile de Lyon, 

 and Madame Marie Masse. These, and other shades 

 of crimson bronze or gold, such as Crimson 

 Pre'cocite', Harvest Home, are of robust habit and very 

 floriferous. In a well-prepared garden border they will 

 grow freely, but wherever a plot can be planted under 

 glass they will produce an abundant harvest up to 

 Christmas. 



The three following illustrations will assist the reader 

 in the somewhat intricate question of buds and their 

 selection : 



In A a large single 

 bloom is the object 

 the "Crown bud" (a) 

 is to be "taken" i.e. 

 chosen. 



It generally appears 

 in August in the middle 

 of a cluster of leading 

 shoots (b) ; these are cut 

 off at (c) as well as those 

 below at (d). 



In this way the 

 whole strength of the 

 plant is given to a.
