Hardy Early Flowering 
CULTURAL NOTES 
Culturally speaking, it gives less trouble than any other flower. It is not particular as to soil, bloom¬ 
ing profusely in sand, clay or prairie loam, the latter being the heavy black soil. 
In the Spring when the growth is commencing on the old plants, unless the garden particularly 
desires to have large clumps for any reason, the best thing to do is break up the clumps and re-plant the little 
shoots. This, I believe, is the best plan for one who is looking for the largest flowers and most vigorous 
plants. If thinning out is not practised, it will result in a bad case of overcrowding, with the result that 
the flowers and sprays will not be nearly as large as they otherwise might be. 
Plants can be set out eighteen inches to two feet apart, according to the varieties. After they com¬ 
mence growing, if the tips are pinched a few times, it will induce the plants to make a bushy growth. And 
this is greatly to be preferred to one or two straggly shoots with the foliage all gone from the bottom, 
which is usually the kind of plant associated in the public mind with hardy Chrysanthemums. 
By the judicious pinching of Chrysanthemums, they can be made into ideal bush plants. This 
pinching can be practised until the middle of June, after which time the shoots should be permitted to 
grow up. By this pinching process the need of stakes on most varieties is entirely eliminated, as the plants 
are bushy enough to stand erect. 
The question where to set out "Mums” is of some moment. Clumps in the herbaceous border are 
very fine and particularly useful and cheerful, after all other stock has been cut down by the frost. T’he 
ideal position to make whole beds of "Mums” is a southern or eastern exposure protected from the north¬ 
west winds. It is from the northwest that most of the early frosts come in the early Fall and, if the plants 
are protected from that quarter, it will eliminate the expense of covering the plants on cold nights. 
One point about "Mums” which might be mentioned is that in the Fall, if the first ct)ld night or two
