NEW HARDY ENGLISH CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
These chrysanthemums have been imported from England 
by way of Canada. They seem to be as hardy as other garden 
chrysanthemums. The flowers are much larger and display a 
great variety of form and color. 
Visitors to our gardens have been very enthusiastic about 
these new chrysanthemums and the demand for them exceeds 
the supply. Although we are growing and testing about 50 
varieties, we have only the following ones in sufficient quantity 
to list: 
Prices: 60c Each. 3 for $1.50.

ever, may be disbudded for still larger blossoms. 
CULTURE 
‘Chrysanthemums are very easy to grow, requiring about the 
same care as sweet corn. They like rich soil, sunshine, and 
watering during dry periods. 
SOIL—Spade in a good layer of well-rotted manure when 
you prepare for them or use bonemeal or superphosphate. 
WATER AND CULTIVATE—In dry periods soak thoroughly 
about once a week or every ten days. Stir the soil after every 
watering. Don’t hoe too deep for the roots are near the sur- 
face. Keep the soil loose about the plants. 
PINCHING—In order to have strong, bushy plants it is 
sometimes necessary to pinch them back once or twice. When 
the plants are about 6 inches high pinch out about 1% inch of the 
soft growth at the top. In many varieties one pinching is 
enough but if the plant does not branch out sufficiently, pinch 
out the tips of each branch once more. Do not pinch back after 
July 1 as that may delay blooming until too late.
