extend above the bud when the latter is 

 formed, as the expanding flower would be 

 disfigured by it. 



A handful of bone meal, worked into the 

 soil around each plant after the plants have 

 become established, will be beneficial; but 

 in general use very little fertilizer until 

 after the buds are set. 



From this time on until the setting of 

 buds give close attention to watering, 

 pruning and tying. Never let the plants 

 suffer for water, and keep the soil around 



them open by frequent cultivation. Water 

 in the evening and cultivate the following 

 day after the surface of the soil has become 

 dry in the sun. Cultivate just as you 

 would vegetables. The plants which you 

 are growing for bush effects will probably 

 require some staking and tying out, to 

 make them sufficiently symmetrical. 



Frequently during May the nights become 

 quite cool, and if these cool spells occur 

 after the chrysanthemums have been set 

 out, you may find that a number of varieties 



have set flower buds. These buds are 

 abortive, and of no value, and must be 

 pruned off at the expense of straight stems. 

 Such an occurrence would be nothing short 

 of a calamity, were the plants being grown 

 for exhibition purposes, where every point 

 counts; but as it would be very difficult to 

 mature exhibition blooms out of doors, 

 there is no need to be discouraged, for 

 should it be necessary to decapitate a 

 number of plants, on each of which you 

 hope to develop one enormous flower,
