CULTURE OF THE CHRYSANTHEMUM. 
increased by thinning out the small buds soon after they appear. 
13. Watering. They require at all times a good supply of water 
and during summer they are greatly benefited by being regularly 
watered twice a week at least, over the leaves. In August begin to 
water the pots with soap-suds, mixed with manure water, about once 
or twice a week, and continue it until they come into flower, which 
will be in November. 
14. When they have done flowering, set them in a situation where 
they will not be injured by frost, and occasional watering will be all 
the care they will require, until the season again commences for pro¬ 
pagation. It sometimes happens, when the buds of plants in pots are 
all formed, and promise to flower finely, that shortly after the time of 
removing them into the house for flowering, the greater part die off 
without expanding. This we judge is occasioned, in a general way, 
by the roots being allowed to grow through the bottom of the pots 
into the soil on which they stood; and on being taken from that si¬ 
tuation, the fibrous roots are broken, and the consequence is, a more 
sudden check to the plant than it was able to bear; the effects of 
which may be readily discovered by the flagging of the leaves, and 
the buds changing colour. This may be prevented by timely mov¬ 
ing the pots, and properly shifting into larger pots, at the time re¬ 
quired.
