he adxcnt (it Mrs. Jei'onK' Jones over 



wenty years a<j;(i, it is safe to say that 



Miu; of tiieni are su|)erior to and few 



ill' eqnal of that fjraml old xariety when 



\ell done. .\ laryc vase of it at the last

'rhoma> Jlowdeii, >>{' Wliil iiis\ ille. a 

 -iiifessfnl nuini grower, has particular 

 -iiccess with this line chrysantheinuni, and 

 (.1^ eaptnred quite a nnniber of j>reniiunis 

 ^ith both the white and y(dlow forms in 

 r.oston. lie uses the same co:npi>st as for 

 lis other \avieties. He Iielie\es the trou 

 '■le most growers e.xperienee residts from 

 Keeping it too co(d. He has grown them 

 II lioth boxes and pots, but got the finest 

 ilnwcrs fi'oin the pots. After gi\ing them 

 'hell- linal .^hit't he places them on an en(l 

 iieiK-li in the rose house, where they do 

 'Miich lietter than when grown cool with 

 iliei- suri< in tlie chrysant henuim Inuise. 



Last season he grew some in '.) inch 

 iiiits .-ind ntliers in boxes in a coed house 

 ill the season, but they \vere absolute 

 r.iilures. The best he e\er had wei't' in 

 ' incdi jiots, which were fed heavily. If 

 I'lupag.ated late. Mrs. Jeroine Jones is 

 imt .'i success. James Xicol, of Quincy, 

 Makes a speidalty of this chrysanthemum, 

 iiid his llnwers arc an eye-opener to those 

 '\lio are nndiM' the delusion that because 

 Mrs. .lenune Jones is old it i.s a back 

 number. I believe when W(dl grown it 

 '\ill givi! the coniniorcial grower more 

 •noney than any other variety, with the 

 I'ossible exce]ilion of Jeanne Xonin, 

 "liich llnwers a little later and i'ealizi>s a

NOT GOOD INDOOR STOCK. 



\ro the iidlowing chrysanthemums of 

 ""d commercial (|uality as cut llowi'rs: 

 - (irunerwald. I'arisiaua White. Goacher 

 lid ( aiije.' Wh.at 'late should the buds 

 ■ taken.' I li\c in the northeastern part 

 ' Nreoon. F. ('. P. 



Oregon is n Inng distance from Xew 

 ■ersey ami, though I will try to answer 

 • < '. I'. 's in(|uiry in good faith, my 

 ilormation may not help him mmdi. 



These \arieties will not make long- 

 emnied commercial flowers, such as the 

 American puldic has been accustomed 

 ' buying. They have nuich the same 

 ■I'lit and style of growth as some 

 iiieties that I distributi'd last year, 

 ""•'ly, the Marv .Masse" familv, i.(juis 



I.emaiie. ( oi (mat ion, (loacdier's < rimsmi, 

 eti-. Tiiese \arieties are e;irly llowerinij, 

 iiiit they are not amenable to the style 

 of culture generally given a chrysant he 

 nnun with us. it is almost: im|iossible tn 

 gel them to break again attei' the bud 

 has been pinchi'(l out. and to yet them tn 

 run up. making long stems, three teet or 

 more in length. (!ro\\n .as )iot |dants. 

 lio\\('\er. or ]ilauted out in tlie garden 

 and alloweil to grow jiretty much as tiiey 

 idioose after the first lumdnng, they will 

 tlow<'r pi'ofusely and give good satisfai- 

 t ion. 



I cannot S(n' why I'. ( . I', cannot gidw 

 these varieties outdoors and have gooil 

 success with them. I had splendid mm- 

 ce>s with (ioacher's ('rimsnu, lloraci 

 Martin, While (^uiidus and .Marie Masse, 

 planteil outside e.arly in .May and al- 

 lowcil to follow their own sweet will. 

 They were a solid mass of llowei's Ifiun 

 the middle id' Sejiteniber onwai'd, and 

 while the individu.al stems were short, tlie 

 (|uantity ot' flowers ]iroduced v\as 

 pr(idii;iiius. I have tried (irunerwald and 

 ( 'ariie inside without success Ikmc in New 

 Jersey, bid, as 1 have suggested, 1 be- 

 lieve they would do well outside in such 

 .•I (diniate as I imagine Oregon to h.ave. 



'I'liei'e is nil i|uesti(Ui as to what date 

 the buds should be taken, because they 

 will be |iro(|i!cing liuds right along alter 

 the lirst p.art of May. The early buds 

 will blast and will never develop, but the 

 buds ]iroilnce(l in August will ne.aily 

 ;dwnvs cume ^ood. C. If. To'l'i'V. 



BULBOUS STOCK FOR SPRING. 



('.an tulips, i(ini|iiiK. iiari-is>i and hya- 

 cinths that were jilanted in the open 

 i^rouud in the fall produce llov\eis of 

 ^ood enough ipi.-ilitv tur funeral wdi'k, 

 etc., the following spring.' I li\e in tin; 

 iiiirtheasteiu part ot' ()re;^ipn. t". ( '. I'. 



\'es, flowers produced lui any of the 

 a forenuMitioned bulljs will lie nt' jyst as 

 line qu.ality as are produced under ylass. 

 !• lovvei's can be kept cleaner under glass, 

 ;iiul retarded, \vhi(di is not possible with 

 those grown outdoors. Occasionally heavy 

 wind and rain stiurns will damage the 

 outdoor stock in some measure, but you 

 can <lepend on their producing llnuers of 

 excellent <|uality. ' '. W.

 nevertheless had an excellent tr.ade, .and
