394 Notes upon Chinese Chrysanthemums. 



For this purpose the plants must be planted out in the beginning 

 of June, and must not be more than nine inches apart each way over 

 the whole bed. The shoots must be stopped in the usual way about 

 the middle of June, and afterwards layered about the beginning of 

 August ; they should not then be more than four or five inches 

 apart, or they will not be sufficiently thick to cover the ground from 

 being seen. 



So treated, beds may be obtained in the flower garden in No- 

 vember and the early part of December of great brilliancy, provided 

 the following sorts are made use of, and planted in the following 

 manner. 



1. Tasselled Yellow. 8. Purple, 



2. Quilled White. 9. Early Blush. 



3. Small Yellow. 10. Spanish Brown. 



4. Rose, or Pink. 11. Pale Pink. 



5. Golden Lotus-flowereil. 12. Superb Clustered Yellow. 



6. Changeable White. 13. Buff, or Orange. 



7. Changeable Pale Buff. 14. Parks's Small Yellow. 

 They must be watered freely for the first two months, and occa- 

 sionally with liquid manure ; if the bed is covered over with about 

 an inch thick of very rotten dung the luxuriance of the plants, as 

 well as the size and beauty of their flowers, will be increased.
