CULTURAL SUGGESTIONS FOR 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
Plant in a sunny location, in any good gar- 
den 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. Plant firmly at same level as 
growing before. 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
