CULTURAL SUGGESTIONS 
HARDY OR GARDEN VARIETIES 
For the garden or hardy varieties including early pompons, where the object is mass 
of color for effect rather than perfection of bloom, we should promote as many growths 
as possible. This is accomplished by pinching out the center of the growth twice or more 
during the growing season or up to August 1st for the September flowering kinds and 
August 15th for those maturing in October. Such a course will give dwarf bushy plants 
with abundance of bloom and no staking is required. Many people are loath to push back 
plants for fear of injury. This is not the case with the Chrysanthemum for just above the 
leaf stem is a later bud which will break forth as soon as the top growth has been checked. 
The tall toppled over plants one often sees are due to lack of pinching.
