Cultura! Suggestions for Chrysanthemums 
Plant in a sunny location, in any good garden 
soil with good drainage. If soil is too heavy, 
mix coarse sand, leaf mo'd, peat moss or well- 
rotted manure to a depth of 12 to 18 inches. 
Plant firmly at same level as growing be- 
fore. Do not plant too deeply. It is a good 
idea to sprinkle a little coarse sand or peat 
moss on surface after planting. 
May and early June are the best months for 
planting. Space the plants about 18 inches 
apart and water well. Do not let plants suffer 
for lack of water. When the foliage shows any 
sign of drooping or getting hard, it is a 
sure sign that the plant is thirsty. Water at 
the root and do not wet the foliage if it can 
be avoided. The best time to water is in the 
early morning or evening. Water thoroughly 
so that the water will penetrate to the root 
where it is needed. If the soil dried up too 
fast, it may indicate a lack of humus; in 
which case a top dressing of peat moss or 
well-rotted manure should be given.
