THE CRYSANTHEMUM.

or the loss of the lower foliage is the consequence. If large 
flowers are desired the buds may be thinned, leaving only one or 
two on each stem. 
If very dwarf plants are wished, cuttings may be taken from 
the old plants a short time before they form flower heads, say 
the end of July : these will not rise above six or eight inches in 
height, and require the same treatment as recommended for 
striking, &c., for the larger plants. After blooming, the plants 
should be cut down and removed to an open shed, or be placed 
on their sides at the foot of a north wall there to remain through 
the winter; a little loose litter or a mat may be thrown over 
them in very severe weather and they require no further atten¬ 
tion till the following March, at which time they may again be 
taken to a warmer part of the garden and water given them to 
forward the growth of the young shoots required to form cuttings 
for the succeeding season. 
We are obliged to Messrs. Chandler, of Vauxhall, for the 
flowers from which the present figures are taken, who grow the 
Chrysanthemum most extensively.
