CHRYSA'NTHEMUM. (From chrysos, 

 gold, and anthos, a flower. Nat. ord., 

 Composites [Asteracese]. Linn., 19-Syn- 

 genesia, 2 - Superflua). Hardy plants. 

 Annuals by seed sown in the border, in 

 April, or in a slight hotbed at the end of 

 March, and transplanted; Perennial her- 

 baceous species by seed and division of 

 roots, in autumn or spring ; the garden 

 varieties of sinense by divisions and cut- 

 tings in March and April, giving them 

 light rich soil ; and to do these full jus- 

 tice, planting them against a wall, or 

 blooming them under glass, giving plenty 

 of manure-water after the bloom buds 

 appear. The shrubby kinds are increased 

 by cuttings and divisions, and require a 

 little aid in winter in a frame, cold pit, 

 or cool greenhouse.

 This is the C. sineme and its varieties. 



Propagation by cuttings. The best
