Chrysanthemums 
All lovers of the garden are so familiar with this beautiful fall flower, it seems superfluous to add any- 
thing in its praise. We will, theiefore, simply give a few cultural hints, which we trust will be readily 
understood by all. Obtain for planting small rooted cuttings. These should be set out during the spring 
months, in well manured soil. Do not plant too close together, but allow so much room between that each 
plant will have ample nourishment. If large flowers be desired, all but two or three shoots should be re- 
moved, otherwise the flowers will be small and unlike those seen at our nurseries and store during this and 
previous seasons. When growing, chrysanthemums should have abundance of water. Take cuttings from the 
old plants in the spring months (throwing the plants away); set them out in sand ; when rooted, put them 
in pots; when well established, they may be planted in the desired location. Propagate only such varieties 
as have done well with you, and add to your collection such new kinds as we recommend, so that your 
assortment will not be behind the times. 
As our list evidences, we have added during the past year nine new varieties of 1894 introduction, 
which, as description indicates, are decidedly worthy of further culture. We have made these selections 
from some hundred introductions, and it is but truth to say that in our judgment they are " the pick " of 
the 1894 Novelties put out by the world's greatest chrysanthemum specialists. Not satisfied with advances 
made by other chrysanthemum growers, we ourselves have for some years past been industriously at work 
with a view to finding from our own efforts some results in the way of novelties so sterling as would sur- 
prise and please our many patrons. What we have achieved in this direction will be seen on another page.
