CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 



[Concluded from page 9] 



grower and those who appreciate flowers 

 from an artistic standpoint. 



Exhibition blooms are produced by 

 practically the same methods. Varieties 

 are selected for this purpose which pro- 

 duce the largest blooms, as size is con- 

 sidered the chief feature. Early propa- 

 gation and planting are essential to this 

 end. Eich soil and liberal feeding are 

 also of equal importance. You are all 

 aware that achievements in floriculture 

 are not the result of any one thing we do 

 today, but the many things which receive 

 prompt attention from time to time. It 

 is equally true that it is not so much the 

 superior knowledge, but the ability and 

 energy to put this knowledge into prac- 

 tical use, which gives one the advantage 

 over another. Those of you who have 

 been successful with carnations know full 

 well that the promptness with which you 

 have looked to every detail marks the 

 degree of your success, and so it is with 

 the chrysanthemums, a small amount of 

 knowledge and a large amount of energy 

 well applied.
