CULTURE FOR 
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 fiowers 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. 
POMPONETTE—Small yellow pompon. Very 
short grower. Matures Sept. 25th. 
QUEEN OF PINKS (Pink Mandel)—Beautiful 
shade of pink. Large pompon which is best dis- 
budded. Short. Matures Nov. 10th. 
*RED CUSHION—Same as Amelia in all re- 
spects save color, which is a deep red. 
RICHARD MANDEL—Pure white large pom- 
pon. Best when disbudded. Short. Matures 
Nov. 10th. 
ROYAL RED—A deep red pompon of the but- 
ton type. Short. Matures Oct. 25th. 
*WHITE CUSHION—Same as Amelia in all re- 
spects save color, which is white. Short. Ma- 
tures August. 
YELLOW BEAUTY—Golden yellow large pom- 
pon. Best when disbudded. Short.
