When grown in the garden, the plants should 

 be set out so as to allow plenty of room for the 

 season's growth. About the first of September 

 the plants should be carefully lifted and potted. 

 After potting, the plants should be kept in a 

 shaded place until w^ell established. The plants 

 should be removed to the house when there is 

 danger of frost. 



When low bushy plants are desired the young 

 plants should be topped when six or eight inches 

 high and when the new growth becomes three or 

 four inches long should be topped again. This 

 treatment should be continued until the first of 

 August to insure as much branching as possible. 

 To secure large flowers, all the small buds should 

 be removed, only one good bud being left upon 

 the stem. 



After blooming, the old plants may be stored 

 in a light cellar during the winter but should 

 not be allowed to dry out. In the spring they 

 can be brought up and started into growth to 

 provide cuttings for future use. The chrysan- 

 themum is propagated in the same way as the 

 geranium.
