Japanese Mountain or Cascade Varieties 
Grown to Cascade Form 
late November. Generous feeding 
if large plants are desired. 
The type known as mountain Chrys¬ 
anthemum plants is so pliant or yield¬ 
ing that they may be trained to any 
desired form. For cascading or droop¬ 
ing effect they usually are manipulated 
as follows: When the main shoot is 
about 6 inches high pinch the center. 
As soon as the side shoots attain suffi¬ 
cient length train one of them to a 
stake 4 feet to 5 feet long, stuck into 
the soil at an angle of some 30 degrees 
from the vertical. Pinch the other 
side shoots from time to time at their 
third, fourth or fifth joints, according 
to the variety. Continue pinching 
throughout the summer until about 
the middle of September so as to de¬ 
velop a correctly shaped plant. By 
this time many branches should have 
been produced at every joint ready to 
bear flowers at their axils. 
When the buds show color remove 
the stake and place the pot on a shelf 
sufficiently high to keep the drooping 
top of the plant from off the ground. 
Unless the stems hang gracefully by 
themselves they can be directed by 
means of galvanized wires bent to any 
desired shape. Normally the plants 
will come into bloom about the end 
of October and remain brilliant until 
is required during the entire growing period
