Chrysanthemums. 1 1 



has won its way in our own country, until to-day it is second only 

 to the rose in popularity. During the last few years wonderful 

 strides have been made in the production of new varieties, many 

 of them being so unique and varied in color and fantastic in form, 

 as to baffle the skill of the artist in description. 



Chrysanthemums come at a time of year when other flowers 

 are the scarcest, even roses in the open ground having ceased to 

 bloom. They have a flowering season extending over a period of 

 several months, and the expanded flowers last a long time either 

 on the bush or when cut. No garden is complete without its 

 collection of these beautiful flowers. 



Chrysanthemums, when grown in pots or open ground, should 

 have rich soil and be kept growing continuously. A sunshiny, 

 sheltered location is best. Plenty of water should be given, and 

 as the flowering season approaches, regular applications of weak 

 manure water should be made. If very large show flowers are 

 desired, cut away all side shoots, leaving only one or two of the 

 strongest stems and as many buds. The most satisfactory way is 

 to pinch back the small plants to induce vigorous bushy growth; 

 allow a number of strong shoots to remain, from which remove 

 from one-half to two-thirds of the flower buds. The result will be 

 an abundance of large-sized flowers.
