Summer Care of chrysrnthmums

For the best results with the chrysan-
themum much depends upon the care
given during June and July.
Rooted cuttings or plants from two
inch pots can qe purchased of the large
growers for early May delivery, and as
soon as received they may be planted
in rows in the vegetable garden, where
more thorough cultivation is possible
than can be gwen in the flower border
The chrysanthemum is yoracious
feeder, and succeeds best in a heavily
fertilized clay loan. The Stoto Uni
yersity set 500 plants from two inch
pots the first week of May. They were
planted two feet apart in rows three
feet apart, and whenever the garden
has been cultivativated the horse hoe
has gone through the chrysanthemum
rows, resulting in vigorous stems with
large healthy leaves. On June the
were eight to ten inches high, and the
terminal buds were pinched out, to in
duce branching Where very large
flowers are desired the plant is grown
to a single stein, and any lateral
branches that appear should be pinch
ed out while small; bat much better
decorative effect is secured by training
the plant to from three to five branches.
Already our plants are branching free.
