CHRYSANTHEMUM CULTURE 
Culture is rather easy. Plant in well prepared 
ordinary garden soil 8 to 10 inches apart, in rows 15 
inches apart for mass planting. Rows can be 3 to 4 
feet apart for cultivating. Hither work in manure in 
the fall or winter or use a good garden fertilizer 
worked into the soil two weeks before planting. Side- 
dress early in July and again in August. Do not let 
mums suffer for water. Pinch out soft center when 
plants are about 6” tall and again when lateral 
branches have made a good growth, but not after 
August 1. For aphids, thrips or other insects use 
BHU and Hexate spray recommended on page 17. 
Protect your late blooming varieties with a suitable 
covering of muslin, paper or burlap the first frosty 
nights. This will prevent the frost from settling in 
the blooms and give you 2 or more weeks of color in 
you: garden. 

GREENHOUSE VARIETIES 
We have grown all the early blooming popular 
greenhouse varieties in our fields and have selected 
the following varieties that do best in outdoor condi- 
tions. However, these greenhouse varieties are not 
hardy and have to be protected through the winter in 
our climate either in a greenhouse or partially heated 
coldframe ox other protection. 
Blooms will be much larger than sizes indicated, if 
disbudded to single blooms on each branch. Pompous, * 
of course, should not be disbudded.

SECOND FIGURE—height of bush in feet.

HARDY GARDEN CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
These modern hardy mums are selected for theiz 
ability to produce quantities of blooms in general 
garden conditions. Increasing interest in garden 
mums is due to recent development of new varieties 
that bloom safely ahead of frost, while a number of 
varieties stand the first frost that usually gets the 
Dahlias. This prolongs the blooming season in your 
garden by several weeks. 
ENGLISH 
This new race has the advantage of combining size 
with hardiness. 
We have, however, culled our English Varieties 
down to the 10 that are really hardy, grow well, and 
produce blooms of equal general quality with the best 
American varieties. 
They can be grown much larger 
than sizes indicated if disbudded the same as Stand- 
ard Greenhouse Varieties.
