Pot growing of chrysanthemums should be encouraged 
in several states where early freezing conditions pre- 
vail. When they are pot-grown, they can be easily 
removed into shelter when the hazards of freezing, 
wind, and rain occur. Again, especially when the 
growing ground is limited in the garden, potted plants 
may find place on the side of walks, on edges of steps 
or in porches if one-half day sunshine is available. 
Mostly all the crysanthemums of our fall displays are 
grown in pots. This practice is carried by us because 
old flowers are being removed constantly as the season 
progresses. Our display ranges from single flowering 
exhibition flower to 500-blossoms specimen plant in 
single container. 
Fresh cuttings are potted immediately into 5- or 6-inch 
pots around May 15th. Plants should not be allowed to 
become pot-bound before shifting into larger pots. 
Those noted with asterisks (*) will commence 
blooming in July or August up until the ap- 
proach of frosts.

short grower. Matures Sept. 25th.
