PROPAGATION. The simplest method for increasing is by division, in the 
spring. 
USES. There is hardly a place in the garden that some form of Chrys- 
anthemum cannot be used; for borders, backgrounds, in the corner, between 
evergreens and shrubs. They like sun, but will do well in semi-shade. They 
are grand for picking and last well even when made into corsages. These 
flowers are most welcome in the fall as, by the time the late flowering varie- 
ties are in bloom, most other flowers are dead or have been killed by frost. 
DISEASES. Green and black aphis are the most troublesome. They may 
be controlled by spraying with sulphur tobacco soap or Black Leaf 40. 
Sometimes a green worm attacks the plant in the fall and eats the buds. 
Spray with Paris Green or hand pick them. If mildew appears, which is indi- 
cated by a white deposit on the leaves and the curling of same, dust the 
plant with dry lime-sulphur. Rust may attack the plants. If so, it is best 
to destroy the plant by burning. To prevent this rust, a spraying of sulphide 
of potassium may be used. Grasshoppers like these plants and can be con- 
trolled by the use of arsenate of lead.
