CHRYSANTHEMUMS © 



The new and improved annual varieties have proved to be as desir- 

 able for the summer garden as the perennials for the greenhouse. 

 Annual chrysanthemums are exceptionally attractive as border or 

 bedding flowers, blooming profusely in the autumn. 

 Culture. The seed is sown in the open ground early in May and 

 the seedlings thinned 10 to 12 inches apart. Better results are 

 secured if the seedlings are started under glass in April and trans- 

 planted outdoors when all danger of frost is past.

 sized, deliciously fragrant white and purple flowers, which appear in 

 August and September.

 germinates very slowly. When three or four inches high, transplant 

 outdoors, setting not closer than 12 inches apart. Give winter pro- 

 tection of straw or other litter.

 which reaches 25 to 30 feet in one season. The foliage is dark green 

 and the blooms bell-shaped, green in color at first and afterwards 

 changing to a beautiful violet. 



Culture. To promote germination set the seed edgewise. Indoors 

 in March or April is the best time to plant. When all danger of frost 

 is past, transplant outdoors, not closer than 12 inches apart. The 

 vine is best suited for training on a trellis or fence. Give protection 

 with straw over winter.

 range. 



Culture. Plant seeds in pots early in spring and cover lightly with 

 soil. A temperature not lower than 65°, together with plenty of 

 moisture, is required. When frost danger is over, set the plants out- 

 doors in borders. If well protected over winter, they will grow as 

 perennials. If desired as a house plant, sow seed in the fall and 

 transplant to pots.
