PYRETHRUMS. 



Pyrethrums are far more extensively cultivated now than 

 in former years, owing to the early flowering and 

 very long period that flowers can be obtained. If cut down 

 after the first flowers have done they produce ano'her 

 crop in the autumn. It is a species that is uninjured by 

 sun or rain. They thrive in any good soil, but are best 

 if given a good mulching, especially in dry soil.
