CULTURAL DIRECTIONS 
This class of Chrysanthemum has been selected for its drooping habit which is essential to 
Cascade Mums. Cascading is an easy process but requires some special attention. To obtain 
large specimens the plant should be re-potted frequently to avoid their becoming pot bound; 
watered and fertilized carefully. Usually three leaders are selected, the outer two being cut back 
at the fourth joint, the branches of which are repeatedly pinched at each second or third joint. 
When about a foot long the leaders should be progressively bound to heavy wires which are bent 
out from the pot to an angle of about 45 degrees. All laterals are pinched back at each second or 
third joint until about September for these mid-season varieties to insure a compact and uniform 
body. As it is desirable that all the flowers of the plant come to bloom at approximately the same 
time for showing, one should be careful in the last stages of pinching. About five days after the 
last general pinching, the basal third of the entire plant should receive its last pinching, the middle 
portion about five days later, and the tip section yet five days later. For the small amount of care 
given, you will be rewarded with a large well shaped plant in which all flowers bloom simul¬ 
taneously. From the time of the last general disbudding which is usually about September 1st, 
the supporting wires should be gradually bent down from time to time to the desired position.
