A few years since we perfected a method of propagating Chrysanthemums by which it is possible to regulate their 

 periods of bloom ad libitum. In other words, by subjecting the plants to this distinctive treatment we are able to place 

 them in the hands of the customer for house culture during the Winter months, in bud and bloom for immediate effect. Our 

 success in this direction has been marked, and of the most gratifying nature, as indicated by the increasing demand for the 

 plants each year and by the many voluntary testimonials from our customers. The plants will mature and be ready for 

 shipment about October 20 and thereafter. When received they should be transplanted into four- or five-inch pots, using 

 rich, loamy soil ; water freely and throw a newspaper over them for a few days to modify the effect of sudden exposure to 

 the light. The ordinary temperature of a sitting room will suffice and afford all the heat necessary. When sent out the 

 plants are in fine form and condition, sure to continue in and increase their blooming capacity, and cannot fail otherwise to 

 give universal satisfaction. The varieties that we have selected are numbered among the favorites under cultivation at the 

 present time ; they are all prize-winners, which fact alone is sufficient assurance of their respective merits. We ship by mail, 

 postpaid, in specially prepared boxes, leaving a quantity of soil attached to the roots; hence, they remain undisturbed, and 

 therefore the usual temporary arrest of growth is prevented. Chrysanthemums still continue to find favor with flower lovers 

 everywhere; their extreme beauty of form and color, adaptability to surroundings, immunity from insect parasites and ease 

 of culture all combine to place them at the head of the list for home adornment.
