This species of Chrysanthemum legitimately sup- 
ports the origin of its name, golden flower, as pre- 
viously noticed. The term Coronarium, may have 
been suggested from the resemblance of the flower- 
bud to a little crown or coronet. 
This plant is too well known to need description. 
Its extremely showy appearance in autumn, secures 
for it a place in almost every garden. 
Seeds of it may be sown at the latter end of March, 
or beginning of April, either where the plants are 
to flower, or in pots; if in the latter, the seedlings 
can be transplanted at pleasure. 
An excellent mode of propagating this plant, by 
which the fine double varieties may be continued, is 
from cuttings. Earlier flowers are also obtained, 
and the casualties of seed propagation avoided. 
About the middle of September take cuttings of the 
young side shoots, three or four inches long, which 
show no flower buds; plant them in pots, and cover 
them with a small bell-glass till they have struck. 
During the winter, protect them from frost, in a 
green-house or light airy room, and in spring they 
may be turned into the borders.
