blooms are fully 3 to 4 inches across and extremely beauti- 
| ful and novel. Makes lovely bouquets. Spider mums are very” 
similar to spoons but petals are longer, excellent novelties, 
"HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUM CULTURE 
rowing hardy chrysanthemums is 
rowing in popularity with gardeners 
ach year. Improved varieties that bloom 
before killing frosts are easily grown and 
flowered by inexperienced gardeners. 
Organic matter or humus in soil is es- 
ial. With ample humus you get good 
and drainage — these are the two 
t important requirements for soil. It is 
so far better to plant in full sunlight, 
rwise plants grow leggy and color of 
m is poor. Do not crowd plants. We 
t best to plant about May 15th. If 
lanted earlier plants in our soil get too 
ge. We have grown nice plants for re- 
when planted in early July. 
Fertilizing should be done sparingly 
ring months otherwise plants grow 
ast. Any good commercial fertilizer 
-10-6 is fine. Give Ist application a 


















few days after plants are planted. Then 
give second application after flower buds 
have set. Do not add fertilizer after flower 
buds show color. | 
If given sunlight, well drained soll, 
humus, fertilizer and cultivation you will 
have beautiful plants and abundance of . 
blooms. 
The shallow roots grow rapidly—do 
not cultivate too deep close to the plants. 
When the young plants reach a height of 
5 to 7 inches pinch out top, leaving only 4 
to 6 leaves. If plants are set out early in 
rich soil it is necessary to pinch several 
times in order to get low, stocky plants. 
Do not pinch after July 15th unless you 
want late blooms. 
Disbudding is not recommended un- : 
less you want to produce blooms for show 
purposes,
