CHRYSANTHEMUM CUTTINGS. 
We have adopted quite a new system for the supply of cuttings, which we are sure will he 
much more satisfactory to the purchasers, and far more successful than those supplied in the 
usual way from plants which have stood close together with their long drawn-up cuttings, and 
often from those not very healthy, whose colours have been strained to the utmost. 
We now plant out our stock of voung plants first week in May in the open ground, and cut them 
down the end of September, then lift them with large balls of earth and plant them in our earth- 
stage, close again.'t the glass. They soon begin to throw up quantities of cuttings of a short sturdy 
nature, quite different to those from exhibition plants, and the difference is such that all growers who 
have seen our two houses, 100 ft. each, full of these roots, would decide never to grow from the 
over-worked old stools again.
