Chief among these defects, for America, is the long neck bare of foliage. (10) The earlier the crown the greater the chances of failure. The difference in practice be- tween England and America are well worth setting forth. Crown buds are used more commonly in England, largely because of the aversion to pinching out the lead- ing shoot at any height. This prejudice is probably not so strong in America. The com- mercial element is more prominent here, and chrysanthemums for sale as potted plants are started late, kept as dwarf as possible, and grown on side benches where there is the least headroom. Such plants are pinched as early as possible to make them branch. In England, the amateur and exhibit- ing classes are stronger than in America, and the plants are started much earher and never pinched to induce branching, but are grown under the " three break " or natural system. The first break may come at any time from April to June i 5, and at a height of from one to three feet. The second break is caused. 182.—Another pichire of a crown bud.
