CHRYSANTHEMUMS. 
The Chrysanthemum is the handsomest and most valuable late autumn and 
early winter flower. It is the imperial emblem of the Japanese Emperor. In 
November and December there is nothing that will make so cheerful a display. The

to secure young plants in the spring, and sink the pot in the soil up to the rim 
water quite freely, and keep the plants well pinched back until about the middle 
of August. They should be repotted at least twice during the summer. Take them 
to the house in October and November, and you will have a grand display for two 
months. The prevailing colors are white, different shades of yellow, which are
