Chrysanthemums may be propagated from seed and 

 cuttings, and each plant will produce several suckers, 

 which may be separated every spring ; as the flowers 

 are liable to be injured by the rain in autumn, it is 

 advisable to take up a few plants, and place them in a 

 light room or green-house, which will preserve them 

 for some time. 



Many people keep their late-blooming plants in the 

 house through the winter ; this is a bad practice, as 

 the heat and want of air will exhaust or destroy the 

 plants altogether. If the flowers fade before hard frost 

 prevails, it is best either to plunge the pots into the 

 ground with the plants, or turn them out of the pots, 

 and plant them, with the balls of earth entire, into the 

 borders of the flower garden. Early in May, such as 

 may be intended for potting the ensuing season, should 

 be divided at the roots, if not potted and planted, each 

 kind separate. One single stem is sufficient for a mo- 

 derate sized pot, if the object be to have bushy plants ; 

 but if showy plants are desired, one of each of the 

 varied colours may be selected for each pot, which 

 should be sufficiently capacious to hold them without 

 crowding them, as this will cause the plants to grow
