retention of too early crown buds often results with large percentage of crippled flowers, especially when large amount 
of nitrogen fertilizer remains in the soil unconsumed by the plant. Again, the hottest period of the year usually comes 
during the month of September and early October, the hazards of burning of petals and fading of colors are too fre¬ 
quent when early crown if retained in this district. 
The final selection of bud should not be made too hastily nor buds are very small (see figure 1). It is also advisable 
to allow an alternate bud (see fig. 2) to remain until one is certain of all defects when final selection is being made 
(Fig. 3). 
PESTS. Common pests and diseases are thrips, aphids, leaf-tyers, cut worms, mildews, etc. Plants should be exam¬ 
ined frequently and sprayed with proper insecticides as recommended by dealers as soon as they 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 stake 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 varieties are most effec¬ 
tive in the gardens 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 
too freely with minimum support.
