CHRYSANTHEMUM CULTURE 
Plant in well prepared ordinary garden soil 
8 to 10 inches apart, in rows 15 inches apart for 
mass planting. Rows can be 8 to 4 feet apart for 
cultivating. Hither 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 Angust. 
Do not let mums suffer for water. Pinch out soft 
center when plants are about 6 inches tall and 
again when lateral branches have made a good 
growth, but not after August 1. For aphids, 
thrips or other insects use BHC and Hexate 
spray recommended on page 382. 
Protect your late blooming varieties with a 
suitable covering of muslin, paper or burlap the 
first frosty nights. This will give you two or 
more weeks of color in your garden.
