CHRYSANTHEMUM. 
The annual varieties are exceedingly pretty, but are 
not so well known or cultivated as they deserve. 
They are bright, cheerful and free bloomers, easy 
and rapid in growth, and merit a prominent place in 
every annual garden; they are also good for ordi- 
nary bouquet cutting. All the annual Chrysanthe- 
mums make beautiful pot plants if- sown in cold 
frames, and pricked off singly into 6-inch pots. They 
are perfectly hardy.
