Timotliy Eaton Chrysantlietnum 



No flower makes a more magnificent display in the autumn 

 than these, with their almost endless variety of form and col-

 Set out the plants in a sunny, sheltered location, in good rich 

 soil, using plenty of well-rotted cow manure. Water freely 

 and keep well cut back vintil the first of August. If wanted 

 for indoor blooming, they should be lifted about the middle of 

 September, potted, watered thoroughly, and set in a shady 

 place for a few days ; afterwards expose them to the full 

 light, in a temperature not higher than fifty degrees.
