Chrysanthemums. 
We give here only a few of the enormous list of varieties of the “ Autumn Queen ” 
which we grow, and every variety we give is a jewel. 
When to Plant. — Chrysanthemums may be planted at any time after the ground 
has become warm in the spring until the middle of June, and they will make large, 
blooming plants in the fall. 
Soil. — Chrysanthemums being gross feeders, the soil should be heavily manured ; 
dig deep and give plenty of moisture ; the plants like sunshine. 
How to Treat Them. — When the plants are 6 or S inches high pinch them back 
to a height of 4 inches. Allow four shoots to grow from this main stalk, which should 
also be pinched back when 4 inches long ; save, then, three or four of the branches
