CHRYSANTHEMUM 
Annual chrysanthemums are important florist's plants, being useful in 
many ways in the flower shop and, at the same time, they are inexact¬ 
ing in their cultural needs. A number of annual species or plants which 
are treated as annuals are mentioned in the literature, but two kinds, 
C. carinatum, and C. segetum, cover most of the material now in 
general commerce. These are all easily grown, coming into flower 
quickly, and the modern kinds are mostly pleasing colors, making 
good cutting material outdoors in summer or under glass in winter. 
Perhaps the most popular species at present is C. segetum, especially 
the Star varieties, such as Evening Star (golden yellow), Eastern 
Star (light yellow with a dark disc and yellow ring), and Morning Star 
(immense flowers of an attractive primrose).

CINERARIAS 
CINERARIA (Cremer's Prize) 
Produces somewhat smaller blooms than does "Eriksson's” with plants 
of good height and is of such high sale value that growers, in our 
opinion, will not go amiss in planting liberally of both. Has taken 
first prize at the Philadelphia Show for the past three years. The 
originator is constantly improving the strain.

COREOPSIS GRANDIFLORA DOUBLE SUNBURST 
(PERENNIAL) 
Much of the beauty of early summer gardens is due to the brilliant 
golden yellow of Coreopsis plantings. There is nothing that can take 
its place at that time of year when yellows are so scarce, and when 
variations in the type are produced, they are welcomed gladly. Sun¬ 
burst is a pleasant change from the well known single form, retaining 
its beauty of color while augmenting its effect of brilliance through 
the doubling of petals. The double flowers are large, 1 V 2 to 2 inches 
across, deep golden yellow, and are excellent for cutting as well as 
for garden decoration. The flowers are fine keepers, and the plants 
are very easy to grow. The strain is remarkably true, coming 80% 
double, as illustrated. Tr. Pkt..

Henry Rosacker, Minneapolis, stated his firm has found the Sensation 
Cosmos to be a valuable and profitable crop when grown in a cloth 
house and spaced 15 x 15 inches. The first bud should be pinched 
out to induce branching and the subsequent flowers kept disbudded.
