SUNSET SEED AND PLANT COMPANY, 
Chrysanthemums. 
From over the seas, the beautiful Chrysanthemum has come to us, and we have loved 
this child of the Mikado's realm so well that limitless thought and skill have been exercised 
in ils development. So many beauties and graces have unfolded, that it is indeed a task to 
bring the list within comprehensive bounds. The demand for our Chrysanthemums increases 
yearly, and this sea.son's business is proving that the " Mum " is still a general favorite. We 
submit below a list of the choicest varieties. 
If fine flowers are desired, plants should never be grown from divisions, as they develop 
a strong disposition to produce suckers. Cuttings from the tips of thrifty shoots make the 
best plants and produce the finest flowers. Set the plants in rich loamy, or even heavy soil ; 
pinch the top out from the 1st to the 30th of June; water sparingly until June or July; remove 
all side branches from three or four of the stoutest stalks, upon each of which from one to 
a dozen of the finest Duds should be allowed to remain. Wlien the buds begin to develop, 
water freely and use plenty of weak manure-water as a stimulant until the flowers are half 
expanded. Sheltef, if possible, from hot sun, wind and rain.
