POINTERS 
ha dled Sprays 
Good Chrysanthemums result from the careful and thorough practice of the basic principles of plant 
growth, plus the acknowledgement of certain differences in the nature of various varieties. Growing 
disbudded sprays is a modification in culture which is very much worthwhile. 
The procedure in growing disbudded sprays, is to wait until the crown bud forms, then remove 
all vegetative shoots but three. Later when terminal buds appear dis-bud each shoot similar to the nor- 
mal disbudding of standards. When the blooms mature there are three flowers in each spray. In sin- 
gles and anemones the size of the blooms will be a trifle smaller in size than when they are grown as 
one flower per stem. 
Bunch disbudded spray pompons similar to the way used in bunching the regular grown pompons.
