CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
CULTURE — Chrysanthemums require a 
good well-worked soil, with plenty of humus. 
They may be planted out in April or May, 
preferably in rows in full sun. The young 
plants should be pinched back once or twice; 
when they are about 8 in. high cut the top 
back about one-third. This will force the side 
shoots, which may be pinched a few weeks 
later to make a bushy plant. 
A well balanced fertilizer should be worked 
into the top soil several times during the 
growing season. Water well and cultivate 
frequently. Do not give any food after the 
buds show color. 
Chrysanthemums should be staked at the 
beginning and tied up several times during 
the growing season. If desired the plants may 
be lifted carefully and moved to the peren- 
nial border when the buds begin to show 
color. Water well after moving. Vitamin B-1l 
may be used to advantage to prevent root 
shock.
