all decayed, cut down the blooming shoots, 

 and place the pots in a cool pit, giving 

 only just water enough to keep the plants 

 alive during the winter ; and, as they are 

 nearly hardy, they do not require much 

 protection: a mat or two thrown over the 

 glass in very severe frost will be quite 

 sufficient. 



These old plants are the best to plant 

 out in the open border. In the southern 

 counties Chrysanthemums bloom very 

 finely, either in the open borders or 

 against a wall or low paling, and, during 

 the months of October and November, 

 make a fine display. 



Insects. The green fly is the most 

 troublesome, and, where it is allowed to 

 prevail greatly, will quite destroy the 

 bloom. It is easily destroyed, in the open 

 air, by dipping the ends of the shoots in 

 tobacco-water, and, in the greenhouse, 

 by filling it completely with the smoke of 

 tobacco. 



Diseases. These are such robust, 

 hardy plants that they are seldom trou- 

 bled with any diseases. The only one 

 that is dangerous is mildew on the leaves, 

 produced by a damp, cold atmosphere 

 before they are brought into the green- 

 house. The only remedy is dusting the 

 parts where it appears with flowers of 

 sulphur. Brown's fumigator is an excel- 

 lent one to apply the sulphur with.
