Chrysanthemums 
In our favored climate, Chrysanthemums mature to perfection. There are two general 
classes: Those suitable for growing in the home-garden, and the large-flowered, or exhibition 
type, which produces huge blooms of magnificent form but needs careful attention to develop 
the finest flowers. The young plants should be set out from April to June, in a deeply enriched 
bed where they are to flower, or in pots. For the finest blooms, only one stem should be per¬ 
mitted to grow and only one bud allowed to come to maturity. This bud is selected about the 
middle of August and all other buds removed. If a greater number of flowers are desired, more 
branches may be allowed to grow, or forced to grow by pinching out the top of the plant. 
Weekly stimulation with liquid manure, begun the latter part of July, will make bigger and 
better blooms. 
Hardy Garden Chrysanthemums are different. Their flowers are relatively small and are 
borne in huge bunches. The plants require little or no attention when once established in good 
ground, and should be allowed to develop naturally and bloom as they will. They are by far 
the most effective for garden decoration. The large-flowering type is more valuable as a cut- 
flower. 
Chrysanthemums priced at 15 cts. each are $1.50 per doz.; 20-ct. varieties are $2 per doz.; 
25-ct. varieties are $2.50 per doz.
