dinter-Blooming Chrysanthemums- 



If it were generally known that Chrysanthemums are as eas- 

 ily grown and as satisfactory for Winter culture indoors as Car- 

 nations they would become immensely popular. We want our 

 customers to try a few plants of the choice varieties described 

 below. Follow these directions and you will be rewarded by 

 having plants fully as good as the one shown in our illustration. 

 Use pots or boxes not less than 5 inches across. Use rich soil . 

 For two weeks at least pinch the tops of plants, also the lower 

 -branches. Do not allow flowers to form until the plant is 

 healthy and sturdy. Do not be afraid to pinch the plants to 

 form desired. Keep in fairly cool temperature. Water moder- 

 ately. Give partial sunshine. Try a few plants.
