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).
