CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
The following varieties of these well known plants have 
been selected for their hardiness as well as for their 
beautiful colors. There are no plants grown in our 
gardens that are so lovely late in summer or early in 
autumn. 
Cnlture. To grow these plants w’ell it is essential that 
the soil should be deeply dug and liberally enriched 
before planting. Heavy soils should have plenty of 
decayed vegetable refuse and sand, as w’ell as manure, 
added to lighten its texture. The safest time to set 
out plants is the first or second w ; eek in May. Planted 
earlier the plants often get checked by frost and do 
not make good progress afterwards. If to be grown in 
the mixed border we advise not less than three plants 
of one kind to be grow’n in a group. After flowering 
cut the stems off close to the ground,Hi)lace a mulch of 
cinder ashes around the crown of eaich, or cover with 
clean straw'. Plant in spring only, IS inches apart. 
Lift and divide every second year for best results.
