FAIRFAX ROSES — THE ARISTOCRATS OF ROSEDOM 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS. Queen of the Autumn 
In May or June, prepare boxes 4 or 5 inches deep, leaving ample cracks for drain- 
age. Fill the box with a compost, three parts decomposed sod or garden soil and one 
part cow-manure, well rotted. Add one pint each of bone meal and wood-ashes to 
each bushel of compost and mix well. Plant young plants in two rows, 8 or 10 inches 
apart; train to single stem and stake. Place the box in sunny position; water as needed. 
Disbud, leaving but one to each plant, selecting the best specimen. Mulch with well- 
rotted manure. Keep plants growing vigorously. Toward frost, place in sunny window 
in cool room with night temperature of 45 degrees.
