How to Have Fine Chrysanthem NUM-

Wick says point few amateurs prop
erly understand Is that in order to have
fine chrysanthemums the plants or
clumps must be taken up and divided
every spring, starting every plant for
the next seasons bloom from a single
one of the new shoots that crowd up
thickly from the roots. 1t is easy to
break these shoots out with new root
to each one, and when potted they
grow rapidly. But If all the shoots
of the old root are left to grow as they
spring up the result will be crowded
mass Of widowed leaves and sickly
shoots, with a few clusters of small
flowers. Divide your plants, give away
what you can and throw the rest away.
