The Chrysanthemum, next to the Rose, is at "present the most fashiona- ble flower. Its remarkable diversity of size, form and coloring, added to its freedom of bloom, at a season when all other flowers have faded, render it a plant eminently worthy of care and attention. Within the past few years marked attention has been paid to the Chrysanthemum, and flowers of enor- mous size, with beautiful color and form in the Chinese, and diversity of shape and hue in the Japanese section, are the result of the care bestowed. It is invaluable as a border or pot plant; its chief requirements are plenty of water and a rich soil. Sunny, warm situations suit it best and prolong its season of bloom until severe frosts set in. The increase of beauty and size has brought also an increase of tender- ness, so that in order to attain the best results the clumps should be lifted in â the fall after the frost lias cut the flow- â¢ers and stored in a cold, dry cellar. Tliey can be set close together and cov- ered with an inch or two of sand or soil. Water occasionally to prevent drying up. Early in spring plant in open border, or divide and pot if to be grown for house
