During the past few years many hybridizers 
of Chrysanthemums here and abroad have de- 
veloped a surprising number of varieties which 
produce flowers almost equal in size to those 
grown in greenhouses. We have tested a great 
many of them, and finally selected a number 
of the outstanding ones. They are illustrated 
on these two pages. If left to themselves, they 
will produce clusters of very large flowers, but 
with a little special treatment, blooms can be 
developed of exceptionally large proportions, 
almost as large as those grown in greenhouses 
by professional florists. 
Here is how it is done. When the plants are 
growing vigorously, remove all but four or six 
of the strongest stems; this is usually done in 
late August. Next, permit the remaining stems 
to grow and produce flower buds, but when the
