Culture of Chrysanthemums 
So simple are the essential cultural re- 
quirements of hardy Chrysanthemums they 
can be covered with a handful of do’s and 
don’ts. 
Garden culture of Chrysanthemums can 
be about the last word in simplicity. The 
more important needs of Chrysanthemums 
are given here. Good average soil, such as 
required by any vegetable crop—well rot- 
ted barnyard manure, plus 20 per cent 
superphosphate, leafmold, or peat moss, 
supplemented by a well balanced chemical 
fertilizer. Soil should be prepared to a 
depth of 15 or 18 inches, incorporating all 
fertilizers thoroughly. 
Planting should be done with care, wa- 
tered well and loose soil pulled around 
base of plant. 
Avoid old overgrown clumps. Healthy 
divisions or pieces taken from an old 
clump ‘give best results. 
Do not overcrowd—18 inches apart or 18 
inches from any other plant is close 
enough. 
To avoid lanky or spindly plant growth, 
pinch the plants at intervals from spring 
until July. 
Under no condition use chemical fertil- 
izers when the soil is dry. Liquir ma- 
nure is safe at any time. Late August or 
early September a complete fertilizer such 
as Vigaro is in order. 
To grow large flowering Mums, keep all 
side shoots rubbed off and when buds form 
pinch out all the buds except the large 
terminal or crown bud; grow two to four 
stems to a plant. 
The large Pompoms may be disbudded; 
the blooms then form a lovely large ball. 
To control leaf spot, spray with Bor- 
deaux mixture or dust or spray with dust- 
ing sulphur, or liver of sulphur.

Uses of Chrysanthemums 
Hardy Chrysanthemums can well be 
used as accent points in a mixed hardy 
flowering border. The tough varieties of 
hardy Mums are well adapted to planting 
in locations where many garden flowers 
will not do well. 
The cushion type and other dwarf sorts 
for use as low edgings for taller growing 
plants or for the hardy border. 
For smaller gardens, where space for 
solid masses of color is not available dra- 
matic effects can be obtained with groups 
or three to six plants at intervals in a 
long brder. 
Planting groups of hardy Mums where 
shrubbery plantings or evergreens will 
make a background. 
Along walls, the foliage makes an at- 
tractive ground cover until the plants 
come into full bloom. 
To form a line between vegetable plot 
and flower garden. 
Pot and Window Boxes—It is no trick 
at all to transplant Chrysanthemums in 
full growth or showing color, to pots and 
window boxes, or to any part of the gar- 
den or grounds where earlier blooming 
flowers have left undesirable gaps in the 
planting scheme. They may be grown in 
your vegetable garden or some out of the 
way corner and then moved. 
By combining dwarf, medium-height and 
tall growing varieties it is possible to get 
a sloping bank of color glory in the late 
garden.
