CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
Rooted cuttings of the desired varieties should be procured in April or May 
and potted into 2$" pots. For single stems remove all side shoots or shoots 
from the base of the plants. To obtain good stems and large flowers, plants 
should be benched as soon after the middle of April as possible. Pinch Pom- 
pons until the end of August, so as to obtain from 6 to 8 branches. All the 
buds on these branches are usually left to flower unless you prefer to have 
fewer flowers per branch, which means you must select the larger buds, pro- 
perly balanced, and remove the others. More harm comes from overfeeding the 
plants than from starving them. They usually won't need any artificial food 
until the buds are well formed. By then give light doses of liquid cow man- 
ure every two weeks. Plants always do best in a cool, airy house of 50°. 
To be sure you get the varieties you want, please place orders EAKLY! -- as 
the demands vary considerably from season to season, making it rather hard 
to anticipate them fully. Deliveries are from April 1 and later; and please 
tell us when you want them shipped. All orders are shipped express collect, 
unless you want them by parcel post - for which please add 10% to the order 
to cover postage and extra handling costs.
