OCTOBER 
YELLOW PERENNIALS 
CHRYSANTHEMUM. Hardy (C. sinense). 3-4 ft. A very desirable 
plant with handsome foliage, and heads of flowers resembling Asters. 
To increase bloom pick back the top when about a foot high to make 
the plant branch, which increases quantity, but reduces the size of the 
flowers and somewhat retards the bloom. Give a rich, deep soil, plenty 
of water and full sun. Propagate by division of the root which throws 
out in the spring many offshoots when well established. By giving a 
slight protection at night from frost the bloom may be prolonged until 
hard freezing weather sets in. Also red and pink varieties. See Pink 
and Red Per., October.

better than most plants. Give a rich deep soil and moisture if possible; 
keep seed-vessels picked back. Self-sowing. June to October.
