CHRYSANTHEMUM CULTURE 
A tew do's and don'ts: Plant in well prepared soil that has had a coat ot 
manure the previous fall or winter if you have it, or an application of com- 
mercial fertilizer worked into the soil 10 days before planting. Side dress 
with any fertilizer about July |Oth, again when buds appear just before a 
rain. Keep well cultivated, pinch out top when 6 or 8 inches high, again after 
the side branches have made good growth. Not after July 20th it might be 
too late for buds to set. Don't plant too near a building or tall trees. Give 
them room enough to develop and produce the blooms you expect. By all 
means dig up your old clump each Spring, divide using the new shoots, 
destroy the old core. You will be rewarded for your labor.
