5 IChrysanthemum is the prettiest and most valuable late autumn and early winter flower. In November and December there is nothin# that 
v ill make such a cheerful display. They are almost hardy, but not quite, north of New York City. The best way is to get young plants in 
the spring, and sink the pots 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 bo 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, the different tints of yellow (and the yellow colors are exceedingly fine), and different shades of 
red. Fine plants, 15 cents each; three for 40 cents, six for 75 cents, twelve for $1.25, except as noted.
