and Miscellaneous Particulars. 
as they are very apt, in every case, to throw up suckers, the latter mode is decidedly the best. The cuttings 
may be taken from the side branches at any season from Ai)ril to September; taken off'before the end of May, 
they win flower the succeeding autumn ; those taken off' afterwards will not flower till next year. Chrysan- 
themums are so very prolific in suckers, that they soon become unsightly plants, and produce small and 
degenerate blossoms, unless frequently renewed from cuttings. The Chinese are said to do this every year; 
they take off the cuttings in May, strike them as we do, and then put each plant in a very small pot, in 
which it flowers the succeeding autumn. The plants are thus kept in a dwarf state, and clothed with green 
foliage from the ground to the flower. In order that the blossoms may be strong, they leave only one or two 
flower-buds on the summit of each plant, and they remove all suckers and side shoots till the blossom is over. 
This mode is now generally adopted with us ; but sometimes the plants are retained a second, or even a third 
year, in which case care is requisite to leave no more stems, and to have no more suckers growing at one time 
than the roots can support in a vigorous state. As under this management the stems attain a great height, 
they require to be supported by a rod, and adjusted so as to form a symmetrical figure by a nice application of 
black threads, or small copper wires. 
Sometimes the Chrysanthemum is grown in beds or borders, in which case the plants should be taken up every 
year and their superfluous suckers removed ; or, which is better, they should be totally renewed by cuttings.
