After the plants are through flowering they should be cut down to six or 
eight inches from the ground and let the leaves drift around them. When they 
are well covered with leaves place some dry cedar boughs over the leaves to 
keep them from blowing away. In this way they should come through the 
winter in perfect condition, if they are planted in a dry location. If the plants 
are situated in low ground, where the water will cover the crowns or roots stand 
in water; it would be better to lift the roots in the fall and store them in a 
cold-frame ; cellar or back shed ; as the plants will die if left standing in water 
during the winter. 
In the spring when it is time to set out the plants again, break up the 
clumps into individual plants, and plant in new soil, or a new location. In this 
way you will have even better success the second year. 
The Rose is truly called the "Queen of the Garden," but the Chrysanthe- 
mum still holds its own as "Queen of the Autumn," carrying its message of 
hope and cheer far into the fall when all other flowers are faded and dead!
