Gazette Publish ing Co., No. 230 Main areaae, G tonla, N. C. CHRYSANTHEMUM GROWING. Some Pointers on How to Hare Beau Uful Chrysanthemums This Fall.' Exchange; ...... r- .' . , , ' If you anticipate growing chrys anthemums for profit, and I assure you rhat a considerable Income. It possible from their cultivation, you must begin your preparations very early In the spring. I am indebted to the members of a flower club as to bow they grow thejr fine chrysanthemums for' the following Information, which will be of interest Just now to all flower growers: "From the middle of April to the last of May is the time to set out the chrysanthemums. "Give some reliable florist your order, asking him to select for you an assortment of early - blooming plants. "Prepare your beds well. To or dinary garden eoil add a little rot ted manure (free from sawdust) and enough sand to make the mixture light. It must be pulverized and well drained, but not necessarily richer than for common vegetables. Put out the plants two and one-half feet apart, and shade, without ex cluding the air, for about six days. Do not allow them to suffer for wa ter, but too much may cause them to rot. "After they are set water frequent ly, and do not forgot to loosen the soil with a hoe if the ground looks packed. When they are eight inches high pinch off the tops in order to make them branch out. The uninit iated grower is apt to be dismayed at the success of this maneuver, but it is entirely normal for a bud to ap pear at the base of each leaf. Sim ply pinch out all except the highest three, so that the strength of the plant may go into these, each of which is to bear one flower; for a vigorous out-of-door plant will pro duce three magnificent blooms. You will find that this budding process will continue all summer. "The beds will need hoeing ev-' ery few weeks, and the plants must never be allowed to droop for want of water. If well drained chrysan themums drink incredibly; other wise they rot. When the plants are eighteen inches high tie them to reeds. La ter on give a separate' support to each stem, as they become quite heavy and the fall winds must not be allowed to bruise the blossoms. "Just before the August rains be gin start your forcing. A spadeful or wj of fresh horse manure turned under th a spading-fork between each nlant will not be ton stroner. even . , . . . . when the sun is hot, i" the ground be kept quite wet; and the manure will not burn when turned under and not exposed to the sun. "Do this about the first of Au gust, again in three weeks and the last time the middle of September, when the flower-buds begin to form. Pinch off all but one bud at the top of each stem and feed three times a day a week with a spadeful of cow manure stirred into a tub of water. Discontinue this when the buds show color." Chrysanthemums require a great deal of attention, and the woman who is not willing to devote much time to the work will do well to give her garden space to less exacting flowers. The insects must be con stantly watched, for if left alone for any length of time they multiply amazingly and are destructive. Flowers grown by the above rules have always captured the "blue rib bon" at fairs and flower shows. It takes time to realize that the closer "we get to some people the f smaller they. are. A BAD EXAMPLE But th erriaen who take no In terest In his -home town sets a wora example. " Perhaps if he read this newspaper regularly be , would see what an inter esting town this Is. Right now would b a food time for htm to suhacrlha. JURY. LIST, r ''.'' ' "! '' Names of Jnrors Chosen for Feb-; ruarjr, Term of' Gaston Superior ', Court.
