SHADING TIME TABLE 
for 
Pot Plant Chrysanthemums 
The varieties in the foilowing list have been chosen 
because they are adaptable to black cloth shading as 
well as for normal flowering, thus giving a flowering 
range from August 1 to November 20 with relatively 
few varieties. 
There are other varieties that may be used for pot 
plant culture, however varieties that flower after Nov- 
ember 20 are not recommended for the very early 
shading. 

LITTLE AMERICA 
CULTURE 
SOIL—Sterilized. Field soil with small addition of manure. 
PLANTING—tThree cuttings into 5'2” pot directly from pro- 
pagating bench on dates given. One additional cutting for 
each 12” increase in pot size. If these are spaced well, a 
better balanced plant will result than if planted together in 
center of pot. 
PINCHING—tThree pinches. First pinch approximately 15 days 
after planting. Second pinch approximately 30 days after 
planting. The third and last pinch controls height of plant. 
Soft pinching is satisfactory. Hard pinch when the last pinch 
is delayed until after shading. Example: Yellow Beauty 
when shaded June | and pinched June 11. 
to avoid delayed and uneven blooming. When possible take 
cloth off at night, replacing before daylight. 
E. DISBUDDING— 
POMPONS—-Remove center bud except on the button 
types. This gives better spacing to the remaining flowers. 
Also the center bud generally matures earlier than the 
surrounding buds, giving the appearance of irregular 
blooming and premature ageing. Remove this bud as 
early as is convenient. 
DISBUDS—Disbudding must be done early, late disbud- 
ding results in small flowers and weak and elongated 
stems directly below the flowers. 
F. HEIGHT OF PLANTS— 
Pompons in 5/2” or 6” pots—11’’-13”" from top of pot. 
Disbuds in §'2” or 6” pots—14’’-17” from top of pot. 
VARIETIES DISBUDDED

CARDONIA (Continued) 
D. SHADING—Same procedure as for cut flowers. Black cloth 
should be new or in best of condition for very early shadings
