CHRYSANTHEMUM CULTURE 
Plant in well prepared ordinary garden soil 8 to 10 
inches apart, in rows 15 inches apart for mass plant- 
ing. Rows can be 3 to 4 feet apart for cultivating. 
Either work in manure in the fall or winter or use a 
good garden fertilizer worked into the soil two weeks 
or more 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 |. For aphids, thrips or 
other insects use BHC and Hexate spray recommended 
on page 32. 
Protect your late blooming varieties with a suitable 
covering of muslin, paper or burlap the first frosty 
nights. This will give you 2 or more weeks of color 
in your garden.
