NOTE.-When convenient, we advise plants CHRYSANTHEMUM, LILIAN B. BIRD. 35 CTS. 

 ing Chrysanthemums near a wall, fence or screen of shrubbery, so that they will be somewhat sheltered 

 from the severe frosts and cold winds of Autumn. And when it is desired to prolong the season of bloom 

 it is a good plan to lift the plants with plenty of earth on the roots just before freezing weather and plant 

 in pots and boxes, and take to the conservatory, greenhouse or inclosed porch, where tliey will bloom 

 splendidly for several weeks, sometimes till after the holidays, making a grand and very striking display of 

 brilliant bloom at a time when there are few other flowers. Chrysanthemums are tisually set with other 

 plants, as most of their growth is made late in the season after other flowers have matured and been re- 

 moved.
