recommended for green-house plants, and put into a situation 

 where they are partly shaded from the mid-day sun, which 

 often scalds the leaves, and makes the plants have a very bare 

 appearance. When the plants are well rooted, they may 

 then be shifted into four or rive inch pots, with the same 

 compost as before recommended, with the addition of a por- 

 tion of well rotted leaf mould, or manure, and a portion of 

 sand. They may now be placed in a free exposure, and 

 have a bountiful supply of water, to grow them in a healthy 

 state. In order to have Chrysanthemums form nice bushy 

 heads, they should be stopped, when about six inches high, 

 by nipping out the heart of the plants. In this place they 

 may be allowed to remain until taken into the room, or green- 

 house, for flowering, which should be done before the first 

 frost appears, which always injures and disfigures the plants. 

 There is one thing necessary to be considered in the culti- 

 vation of the Chrysanthemum, namely, the manner of win- 

 tering the roots, which should be so managed, that they are 

 kept in a dry, healthy state, and are not growing freely, as it 

 should always be the object of the cultivator to keep the 

 young shoots from growing, if possible, during the winter.
