CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
To obtain large flowers of this beautiful fall flower it is necessary that especial care and culture be given them. Young plants mn 
be obtained; one shoot is allowed to grow and all side growth is kept nipped off, so that the strength be allowed to go into the main stpm 
lhe plant is kept growing in this manner, but should a flower bud appear on the end of the stalk before the date set (at the end nf 
description of each variety) this also must be nipped away. For instance, we will take the "Mrs. Heume" as an example. The date is Auim I 
20th, but should a flower bud appear say about July 20th, this must not be allowed to grow, but taken away, and a new bud will foil"™ 
which ought to be about the size of a pea by August 20th; then all attention must be given this bud, and the plant be kept liberally fed 
with manure and bone meal applications. If the bud which had formed, we will say July 20th, had been allowed to grow, the How 
would have been much inferior to that bud "taken" at correct date, namely, August 20th. This will explain, we think, the meanin K nf 
the dates after each variety. Of course, judgment will have to be used; for instance, should a bud appear two weeks before date tlip 
it would be as well to leave that one. The best planting time is during April and May. ' 
Chrysanthemums should be protected with cheese-cloth a few weeks before blooming time. These few remarks may help the novice i 
the growing of this plant. To obtain large flowers, it requires a good deal of experience, and it may take quite a few trials befn!" 
success is attained. e
