CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
LARGE LATE EXHIBITION TYPE 
(Continued from page 1) 
Spring planting can be started about May 15th continue 
through until the end of June, however, the first two weeks 
of June is preferred. When the plants arrive place the roots 
in a basin of water for a few hours. Set the plants in their 
locations during the late afternoon, water thoroughly to 
settle the earth around the plants. 
Cultural Notes for Successful Results 
START RIGHT by obtaining clean stock. It is not hard 
to keep such plants clean and healthy by following simple 
rules. 
NEVER PLANT discarded greenhouse stock, which has 
been highly fed and forced (most Florists throw out such 
plants and buy new stock from the plant specialists). 
WE GROW our stock plants in the field and greenhouse 
with special care under proper conditions for propagating. 
All plants are grown cool and kept clean. A visit here will 
convince you of this, visitors are always welcome. We in¬ 
vite inspection. 
SOIL. Never plant on poorly drained soil. Although the 
Chrysanthemum likes moisture it does not like wet feet. 
Most any other type of soil will grow them well. Heavy 
clay soil produces splendid results. Loosen the soil by cul¬ 
tivation several times after planting and mulch when plants 
start new growth, using manure, grass-clippings and best of 
all tobacco stems. Mulching prevents rapid evaporation of 
moisture, feeds the plants and keeps down insect pests. 
LOCATION AND SPACING. Plants may be set singly 
in hardy borders or beds with other flowers, allowing about 
2 feet of room for the Hardy Varieties to naturalize and 
spread. In garden beds when planted alone 8 to 10 inches 
is plenty of room. For the ideal results I recommend the 
Chrysanthemum Bed with at least an 18-inch path through 
the middle of the bed. Beds may be made as long as neces¬ 
sary to accommodate the desired amount of plants. Each 
bed may contain six rows of plants in rows 6 inches apart 
and the plants set 8 inches on the row. This plan enables 
us to give plants special care in staking, disbudding, etc. 
WITH THE APPROACH OF EARLY FROSTS, a frame 
may be built over the foregoing described beds strong 
enough to carry a covering of Cello Glass, Muslin or Burlap. 
Such improvised frames enables us to lengthen the Chrysan¬ 
themum season until after Thanksgiving.
