Cultural 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 mold, peat moss or well- 
rotted manure to a depth of 12 to 18 inches. 
Piant firmly at same level as growing be- 
fore. Do not plant too deeply. 
May and early June are the best months for 
planting. Space the plants about 18 inches 
apart and water well. Do not let plants suf- 
fer for lack of water. Water at the root and 
do not wet the foliage if it can be avoided. 
The best time to water is in the early morn- 
ing or ewening. If the soil dried up too fast, 
it may indicate a lack of humus; in which 
ease a top dressing of peat moss or wWell- 
rotted manure should be given.
