Facts Asout CHRYSANTHEMUMs. Chrysanthemums are easy to grow, but prefer a wind-sheltered, sunny spot with good drainage. 
Plant 2 to 3 ft. apart. For best results, when 8 in. high, pinch back tops about ¥4 of height; pinch back again at 12 to 14 in. This 
will produce more blooms and cause bushy full growth. Soak soil twice a week in hot months. When budding begins, water 
frequently to swell buds and bring out earlier blooms. Potted plants are shipped when dormant supply of two year field grown 
plants is exhausted. Plant spring or fall but plant this spring for flowers this fall. Shipped Prepaid. For Zone Map Page 13.
