OCTOBER 



YELLOW PERENNIALS 



CHRYSANTHEMUM. Hardy (C. sinense). 3-4 ft. A very desirable 

 plant with handsome foliage, and heads of flowers resembling Asters. 

 To increase bloom pick back the top when about a foot high to make 

 the plant branch, which increases quantity, but reduces the size of the 

 flowers and somewhat retards the bloom. Give a rich, deep soil, plenty 

 of water and full sun. Propagate by division of the root which throws 

 out in the spring many offshoots when well established. By giving a 

 slight protection at night from frost the bloom may be prolonged until 

 hard freezing weather sets in. Also red and pink varieties. See Pink 

 and Red Per., October.

 long season of bloom and also it endures the heat and drought of summer 

 better than most plants. Give a rich deep soil and moisture if possible; 

 keep seed-vessels picked back. Self-sowing. June to October.
