PESTS —Common insect pests and diseases are thrips, aphids, leaf-tyers, cut worms, mildews, etc. 
Plants should be examined frequently and sprayed with proper insecticides as recommended by dealers 
as soon as these pests are detected. After September 1st we recommend spraying the plants twice a 
month until buds begin to show color. 
STAKING —Every individual stem should be supported with stakes or by other means to hold the 
blooms upright. 
BUSH OR GARDEN VARIETIES 
Under these types are pompons and buttons, anemones, singles and hardy Koreans. These varie¬ 
ties are most effective when grown low with as much growth as possible. This is obtained by pinching 
off the center of all the laterals two or three times up to the 1st or 10th of August. This method will 
prevent the plants from toppling over too freely with minimum support.
