CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
p VERY garden has room for some of Autumn’s brightest flowers. In the border by a fence or building, a 
well planned and cared for bed repays itself with the gorgeous array of colors it will furnish in Autumn. Tiny 
buttons, medium buttons, Singles, Balls, Pompons, Shaggy ones and the large globes of gold; bronze; reds; pinks; 
yellows and many intermediate shades. Try a bed of a hundred or more and experience the thrill, and pride of 
showing your friends and neighbors your skill as a grower of Autumn Queen Chrysanthemums. Cut some blooms 
for friends who are shut in or decorate your church. 
CULTURAL NOTES 
Continued from Page 1 
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 necessary 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 enable us to lengthen the Chrysanthemum 
season until after Thanksgiving.

POT PLANT CHRYSANTHEMUM 
CAPRICE 
The chrysanthemums 
marked (*) as well as 
others may be successfully 
grown in 5 or 6 inch pots. 
In order to have them low 
and bushy they will need 
frequent pinching up until 
a few weeks before the 
buds appear. Pinch out the 
new growth allowing but 
one set of leaves above the 
recently formed crotch. 
After pinching new growth 
will start when again it 
shall be pinched in the 
same way, this method will 
keep the plants low and 
bushy. Pinching shall start 
when the plants are about 
8 inches tall.
