Wormwood. From Peking, China,
through Frank N. Meyer. A biennial
Artemisia which the Chinese use as a
stock for the chrysanthemum and

require less water and no manure; are
more easily lifted and transplanted
than on their own roots. May prove
valuable for regions with too short
summers or too cool nights for outdoor 
chrysanthemum culture.
