Duplicate Gardeners
Trick of Caring for
ChrvSanthemuns

Chrysanthemums have a history
dating back to early Greece.
Through all the years they have
been grown in the garden they
have produced flowers in an eccen-
trio fashion. One year the blooms
would be large and the next year
smaller or, no blooms would mature
if an early frost overlook them.
Shelters were devised. These were
placed over the plants on nights
when frost was expected. Shelters
which kept of frost kept the plants
alive until blooms could mature.
Horticulturists have learned to
mature the plants early so as to
beat cold weather. Any gardener
can duplicate the accomplishments
Of the expert. The whole trick con-
sists Of shading the chrysanthemum
plants with black cloth, starting
about the first week in July. If
rough framework is erected around
the plants and this is covered each
day, about o'clock in the after
noon, the plants will be deprived
of light, their nights will be
heightened and blossoms will form
rapidly. The cloth should be rolled
back so as to admit light some time
after 8 in the morning.
Continue this process until the
flowers are showing color, when the
full benefits of light will intensity
the coloring. Shading. as recon-
mended, will cause the production
Of chrysanthemum flowers by Sep
tember / on varieties which would
not bloom normally until after the
drst Of October.

form of flower, and the fragrance
are to me of greater importance
than newness Of variety. A num-
Der of hybridizers, including several
local people, are at work and the
development of the daylily is In the
early stage of horticultural infla-
tion.' Many new varieties are being
introduced each year-some of
them, no doubt, great improve
ment over the older ones.
Today we have various patterns
of color marking, including the So
called eyed varieties with a dark
blotch midway on each petal, such
as Mikado. Then there are the BIZ
colors with three light colored and
three dark colored petals. Some
have petals that are narrow, long,
and recurring; others, petals that
are short and broad, and, of course,
there are varieties with every varia-
ton between these two extremes. To
complete the list of forms we have
a double Towering daylily-H. fulva,
variety kwanso.
Unit of Sale Is
A Division.
The common unit of sale is a
division which is a small crown
with leaves attached (but cut back
and long. thick roots. The purchase
of new plants or the digging and
dividing of an old clump is usually
done in early September. This will
give the plants time to become estab-
lished before cold weather stops
their growth. If division is vigor-
GUS and we'll planted it should
bloom the following summer.
Clumps improve in size and vigor
for several years. Unless new plants
are needed it is seldom desirable to
divide a clump until the flower
quality and quantity begins to de-
cline-usually in to 10 years.
In setting the divisions plant
them no deeper than they grew
originally. Allow plenty of space
for growth. While the daylilies
will grow in sun or shade, they do
best in light shade or in a situa-
ton protected from the hot mid
day and afternoon sun. Many varie-
ties sunburn or bleach when ex-
posed to the midday sun.
In deep shade daylilies will grow
and multiply but seldom blossom.
While the daylilies are tolerant of
drought, they need moisture during
the Towering season or they will
drop their buds. Feeding is usu-
ally confined to an occasional top
dressing of either well-rotted ma
nure or commercial plant food.
With more than 400 named varie-
ties to choose from, any list that
/ might suggest would no doubt
be subject to considerable criti-
ciSm, but even so, the following
are offered as a start for the be-
glnner, inexpensive varieties that
provide a long season of bloom:
Flava, Middendorfli, Dumortieri.
Orangeman, Queen of May (blooms
again in the falD, Luteola, Citrina
and Anna Betscher. OF the newer
but more expensive varieties the
following give long season of color:
Winsome, Wau Bun, Vesta, Soudan.
Gypsy, Gay Day and Mrs. w. H.
Wyman.
Evening star., 1939-07-08

(FroSts seldom injure the flowers of
the hardy varieties) In carrying
out this project the earliest Towering
varieties and seedlings obtainable
were collected. From their seedlings
only the earliest Towering ones were
saved. AS the work progressed, Oc-
tober was chosen as the latest date
OF Towering desirable, and now there
are some 300 seedlings that bloom
before that date.
While earliness of bloom was
stressed, such factors as hardness.
form, color, habit Of growth and
health were also considered. The IL
varieties just released, and which
have been given Indian names, were
tested at trial gardens in several
parts OF the country and their hardi-
ness demonstrated. Many more va
rieties are winter hardy on the Great
Plains than in the milder but more
moist sections Of the East.
The IL varieties give a good range
OF color and flower form. Algonquin
is an early double yellow, Barnegat,
which blooms somewhat later, is
also double yellow. Amoskeag is a
semi-double light bronze and Ge-
ronimo double light bronze. There
are four rose -colored varieties:
Manatico and Matawan, singles;
Muskogee, semi-double, and Otsego,
a double. Two pale pink. or blush
colored, varieties are the double
Pohatcong and Passumpsic. Suwanee
is a single white and Seminole a
double white.
The IL Indians" will be welcome
addition to the fall-flowering ma
terial for local gardens. For several
years attempts were made to grow
September Queen, an early Towering
white, but 1t would not survive our
winters without protection. Now
there are two hardy early whites.
The hardy Koreans and the Azalea-
NUNS have been the only dependable
early-f1oWering chrysanthemums and
they became available only few
years ago.
While these varieties were released
to cooperating nurserymen a year
ago. it takes some time to produce
quantity of merchantable stock.
Mr.. Milford said that only a few
nurserymen are offering plants of
these varieties for sale this year. The
Department of Agriculture does not
have plants for distribution or sale.

Butterfly Weed Has
Been Called Finest
OF Wild Flowers

The butterfly weed (Asclepias)
found blooming now along the dry
sunny roadsides in the Eastern part
OF the United States is called by
one author Americas finest wild
flower" Another suggests that if
1t were rare we might even 20 so
far as to build greenhouses for it,
but because it is such q common
weed 1t stands almost unnoticed in
many a dry. dusty spot where little
else will grow.
The flowers of A tuberosa, the
species most commonly seen here,
are generally brilliant orange-oc-
casionally deep scarlet. They are
borne in umbes (fattened clusters)
An attractive cut flower, it lasts
rather well. 1t is well named but
terf1y weed, because the butterflies
swarm about it.
While a member of the milkweed
family, 1t contains very little milk.
The Indians used it for pleurisy
and so it has often been called
"pleurisy root"
Lie butterfly weed requires
very well drained, sandy soil. 1t
will winter kill in heavy wet soil.
For the most part it resents trans
planting. The author lost nearly a
dozen plants because they were not
set deeply enough and were heaved
out by the winters alternate freez-
ing and thawing.
Being very deep-rooted plants,
they must be deeply dug, care being
taken to get all of the roots. Then
they should be deeply and firmly
set and the hole filled with sand.
After being properly planted they
will care for themselves, giving years
of brilliant bloom.
Perhaps the safer or surer meth
Cd OF propagation is by seed
