DIRECTIONS FOR CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
WHICH IF FOLLOWED, WILL 
INSURE SUCCESS 
WHEN TO PLANT—Anytime after the ground 
can be worked, even up to June 20th, will give 
you good blooming plants in the fall. 
SOIL—Dig the ground deep ; put in quantities 
of manure. The Chrysanthemum is a gross 
feeder; if fed well the flowers will be large and 
the plant strong. 
DISBUDDING—If you want large flowers, 
keep plants pruned and disbudded, leaving only 
three or four buds, for a real show bloom leave 
only one. 
WHEN TO LIFT—In localities subject to 
heavy frosts in October or November, plants 
should be lifted into larger pots by September 
1. After lifting drench thoroughly and never 
allow them to suffer for water. Give manure 
water, if possible, once a week. If protected 
from frost by sheeting, they need not be brought 
into the house till well into October ; and when 
brought in place in a room without fire ; give 
plenty of air when not frosty. In cold climate 
winter in cellar. 
Chrysanthemums enemy — Black Aphis and 
Mealy Bug. 
Keep them sprayed with Shep. Enough Shep 
to make four gallons of spray, 40c.
