ENGLISH HYBRID CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
This thrilling race of outdoor ‘mums from 
across the Atlantic is rapidly becoming very popular in 
this country. The huge flowers, early blooming chara- 
cteristics, and the great color range are the ad- 
vantages. They definitely require more attention and 
care than the other hardy types if they are to do well. 
Pinching back 2 to 4 times is necessary with most 
varieties to avoid sprawliness. Even so, many varieties 
require staking, especially if disbudded. 
There is still great variation among the English 
Hybrids as to hardiness, type of growth and blooming 
characteristics. Most are reliably hardy most any- 
where with a little protection, but some are inclined to 
exhaust themselves in blooming and fail to form the 
late underground shoots that will winter over safely. 
Others make huge clumps in one season and seem able 
to take anything in the way of cold weather. Some 
bloom too early to be good in warm climates. Others 
require a long mild autumn to do their best. Those 
marked with a star have given excellent performance 
for several years in approximately an average climate. 
Plant 15 inches to 24 inches apart and avoid 
crowding. As soon as the buds have formed, a handful 
per plant of commercial fertilizer well watered in, will 
increase size of bloom and hasten maturity in the later 
varieties. 
Use the English ’mums for garden, border de- 
coration and for super cut-flowers.
