Please tell me what varieties of chrysanthemums are best for commer- cial use, as I intend to grow tliem for the market only. Mention the best early, midseason and late sorts, in white, yellow and pink, F, ^Ind, I can answer your question in no better way than by giving you a list of the varieties we are growing. We grow for commercial purposes entirely and confine ourselves to varieties which make what is known as commercial blooms. Here they are, and they bloom in rotation as named: White — Smith's Advance, Early Frost, Arlette Dubois, Alice Salomon, Mrs, Chas. Eager, Lynnwood Hall, White Dean and W, H, Ghadwick. Yel- low—Golden Glow, Comoleta, Chryso- lora, Robt. Halliday, Lena Baum (Yel- low Eager), Major Bonnaffon, Dolly Dimple and Nagoya. Pink—Unaka, Fe- dora, Chieftain, Mayor Weaver and Maud Dean, Wm. Turner is a large white, really better for exhibition than for com- mercial purposes. This is also true of the yellow Nakota and the pink EJ- beron. They must be grown into fancy blooms, to be of value. A, F. J. B. CASE OF STOCK PLANTS, I wish to ask you a few questions about chrysanthemum stock plants. We have some plants that were grown in the field and were lifted and potted about the end of August. We have sold most of them, but have some left which did not become nice and bushy and we wish to keep them for stock. Would these stock plants do well if put in a coldframe until about the middle of January? Or, when do you think would be the best time to bring them into a temperature of about 45 degrees, to get cuttings from them? These plants have been allowed to grow in their natural way, making many branches. Would it be advisable to wait until they have finished blooming before cutting off their branches
