Plotting chrysanthsmums.


During the past week the chrysanth-
NUNS that were set in the University
garden have been pOtted, preparatory
to towering in October and November.
There 10 no towering plant more sat-
isfactory than the "mum," because
none gave better results for so little
labor Ours were bought at three dol
lars per hundred and were planted at
once in the nursery rows in the veget-
able garden, where they were given the
same cultivation that the Cabbages re-
ceived. Hardly any failed, and they
grew so vigorously that it is difficult to
get some OF them into eight inch pots.
In potting q cloudy day should be
chosen, and il the weather is dry the
plants should have been given good
soaking q day or two before lifting.
Have q compost made Of four parts rot
ted sods or rich garden loan, and one
part we'll rotted manure; to every bush
el OF this soil add abig handful Of bone
meal, and, unless the loan is sandy
enough to prevent baking add clear
sand enough to give the whole gran
ular texture, to insure perfect drainage.
Cover the bottom Of the pot with clean
gravel or pot-shreds; dig the plants
with plenty Of root; remove any hard
clods that mry adhere to the roots; and
pot the plant 80 that the main stem is
as near upright as possible, taking care
to firm the potting soil we'll about the
roots. A small stick is useful for ram.
ing the soil firm along the inside of the
pot.
AS soon as potted o stake should be
set in the pot and each of the main
branches should be tied separately tc
the stake, making for each kind oi
sling. II large blooms are wanted all
the lateral branches should be removed
from each main branch, unless the END
OF the branch be "blind" have an abor
tive flower bed, in which case the top
most lateral is left. The leayes of the
plants should be sprayed lightly sever
al times day until they cease to wilt
the frequency Of spraying depending
on the dryness Of the atmosphere,
They are then set in shade until new
growth begins. The plants must moi
be permitted to wilt very much, as theil
leayes will fall and growth be seriously
checked. When they have become es.
tablished in the pots indicated by the

The important thing in potting chrysl

At the University five hundred large
plants have been lifted with very slight

leave their plants in the field until the

Labor day seemed to give an oppor-
tunity to the canvassers who are. work.
ing in The Tribune Educational Con-
test, for yesterday was the banner day
of the contest so far, the number of
points exceeding those OF any previ-
Gus day. There was another shifting
around of the leaders, although not Of
so extensive a nature as that of yes
terday morning. Charles Rodriguez,
who has so long been No. 1, started in
on his third century, as will be seen
by this mornings table, and Oliver
Callahan, who is No. 8, commenced on
his second, making in all three lead
ers who have now scored over 100
points. David c. Spencer, who has
held fourth place ever since the 1st of
August, with the exception of three
days in the middle of the month, this
morning drops back into fifth place,
his old position being held today by
Arthur c. Kemmerer, who has been
advancing very steadily of late.
Eugene Boland also makes quite a
gain this morning on Spencer, being
now but eleven points behind him.
Sidney w. Hayes and Miss Grace Sim
rell, of Carbondale, are tied this morn
Ing for ninth place, each with %
points. Richard Roberts comes next,
while John p. Smith and Edward Muir
ray are tied for twelfth place, and
Robert Campbell follows them, only
two points away.
There have been quite a number OF
new contestants enrolled during the
past week, and 1t is more than likely
that some of them may find their way
into the ranks of the ten leading con-
testants before many days pass. There
is room for more new members in this
competition and It would be well for
any ambitious young person, irrespect-
i've of sex, to enter into this work now
while they have ample opportunity to
get results that will count The mani
fold advantages of taking up the work
have been dwelt upon frequently, but
for the benefit of those who have not
learned of the contest or who are con-
sidering entering we print the full de-
tails in this mornings Tribune, on the
