CHRYSANTHEMUM REMINDERS 
Plant potted rather than field-grown clumps. They will give better 
satisfaction. Plant in a sunny location in rich well-drained soil. Do not 
plant too early. Even hardy Mums must be protected from an early frost. 
Water well during a dry spell. When watering take off the nozzle on 
the hose and let the water run slowly until the ground is saturated. 
Cultivate the plants well. The soil should be stirred thoroughly at least 
once each week if you expect large thrifty plants covered with bloom 
in the fall. Pinch the branches back twice after planting to make 
sturdier plants with more bloom. Divide plants every two years. Mulch 
with straw over winter; do not use leaves as they may smother out your 
plants. Space plants from 18 to 24 inches apart. Always expect some 
casualties; few plantings turn out 100 per cent.

Our color illustrations are excellent. We have given the 
blooming dates and price with each variety, and for this 
reason we are not describing the ones in color. The Chicago 
and Minnesota originations were selected not only for their 
rich coloring but for their early blooming qualities. 
These are especially desirable in the north and we know 
they will prove more than satisfactory. But in states where 
the fall season is long these two strains would bloom early, 
and to prolong the blooming season we recommend the 
later blooming varieties.
