Chrysanthemums 
Hilda H. Bergen 
Old Rose 
In our favored climate. Chry¬ 
santhemums mature to perfection. 
There are two general classes. The 
large-flowered, or exhibition type 
produces huge blooms of mag¬ 
nificent 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 
permitted 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. I f 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 stim¬ 
ulation with liquid manure, begun 
the latter part of July, will make 
bigger and better blooms. 
The Hardy Garden Kinds are 
the glory of the fall garden. There 
are several types of these, all 
blooming in sprays,all long-lasting 
cut-flowers, and all unsurpassed 
for garden decoration. They re¬ 
quire little care, and should be 
allowed to develop naturally and 
bloom as they will. Plant in rich 
soil, keep well watered, and divide 
the clumps every two or three 
years. If aphides bother, spray with 
Black-Leaf 40 or one of the 
pyre thrum sprays.

Chrysanthemums 
Hardy Garden Chrysanthe¬ 
mums received an unprece¬ 
dented advance two years ago 
when Alex. Cumming, Jr., in¬ 
troduced his Korean Hybrids. 
These lovely Chrysanthemums 
were much hardier than the old 
types, and brought new shades 
of coloring and new scents into 
the family. Their lovely single 
flowers, produced so freely on 
long stems, increased the Chry¬ 
santhemum’s popularity as a 
fall cut-flower. 
We offer a fine collection of 
these graceful flowers.
