Chrysanthemums. The Chrysanthemum is the

young plants in the spring, sink the pot up to 
the rim, water freely, and keep plants well 
pinched back until middle of August. They 
should be re-potted at least twice during the 
summer. Take them to the house in October

display for two months. Plants, dozen,
