FloricuUural and Botanical jyotices. 173 



probability is, that I never should have attempted to flower 

 them at any other than the usual time, which is in November. 

 But, to discover a secret, I set my wits to work; and the re- 

 sult is a bloom at the present time, (and I doubt not for six 

 weeks or two months to come, as I have plants in succession,) 

 as splendid as any can be produced in the fall. 



The plan I pursued was simply to detach the sprouts or 

 suckers in the fall, when in full bloom, and plant them in small 

 pots, keeping them in a temperature of not less than 50° 

 Fahrenheit, with occasional shifting as they advanced in growth, 

 not neglecting to keep the soil moist at all times; and the 

 result is as stated above. 



From this experiment, I am led to believe that there would 

 be no difficulty in forcing the Chinese chrysanthemum so as 

 to have it in flower the whole year. 



Respectfully yours, Jacob B. Garber.
