How an Amateur May Grow Chrysanthemums. THE first important item in growing potted Chrysanthemums is the proper preparation of the soil. One-third manure and two-thirds sods, stacked together and rotted (must be thoroughly rotted) run through a coarse sieve is best. To one bushel of this soil add a double handful of pure " bone meal," one handful of lime and one of wood ashes, and you are ready for potting. Drainage is of the utmost importance, for without it the surplus water will sour the soil, the roots will decay, and all of your labor will have been in vain. About April 15 to May 1, get good, healthy plants from some reliable florist, and re- pot them at once into 3K- or 4-inch pots, and when the pots are filled with roots, repot into 6- inch pots, and from these—when filled with roots—into 9- or 10-inch pots. In making the final shift, leave or 2 inches of space at the top of pot to receive the water—and later on, when the buds appear, this space can be filled with manure to act as a stimulant. Immediately after last potting, plunge the pots in the ground up to the rim, place your pots in rows 2 feet apart by 1 foot, and water only when it is needed. Never allow the soil to become dry enough to wilt the plant. With a soft cord fasten the plant to a small, neat.
