Kiku-Shidare (W^eeping Chrysanthemum). Extract from Circular 513 , 
U. S. Department of Agriculture. “Branches arching or somewhat pendu¬

sepals); flowers densely double, with more than 50 petals, clear pink, about 
an inch across, borne freely in short-pedicelled clusters. Because of the 
arching branches, Kiku-Shidare is commonly top-worked on a bare stem
