CASSELL'S POPULAR GARDENING. 



to "that recommended for the large-flowering Chry- 

 aanthemnms, modified in a few particulars by ex- 

 perience, and it also Jiolds good of the large Anemone- 

 flowered varieties. 



The small Anemone-flowered varieties should be 

 treated in the same way as the Pompon varieties. 



There is a group of early-flowering Chrysan- 

 themums which is being increased yearly, because 

 they are found so useful. For pot-culture, these 

 may be struck at almost any time, but cuttings 

 raised between Oct-ober and March as a rule give the 

 finest blooms. Those struck in October mostly 

 bloom in May and June ; those in February and 

 March bloom in July and August ; and the plants 

 should be stopped only once. For planting out in 

 beds, where they are very serviceable, cuttings need 

 not be struck until the end of February, and even 

 up to the end of March, and they will all bloom well 

 from July to September; and the semi-early varieties 

 from September to the end of October, when the 

 late varieties open their flowers. This is a very 

 useful section indeed. 



Also single varieties of the Chrj-santhemum are 

 taking a place among the cultivated kinds. They 

 differ from the Anemone-flowered varieties in that, 

 instead of having a disc of tubular florets, as in the 

 case of the latter, they have a disc like that of the 

 single Dahlia. They wiU no doubt be improved 

 in size, and especially in colour, the last requisite 

 being essentially necessary. 



Green-fly is very apt to lodge in the centres of the 

 young shoots of all Chrysanthemums. The best 

 remedy is a little tobacco powder, carefully dusted 

 over the affected parts. Mildew is best grappled 

 with by dusting sulphur lightly over the leaves.
