Bridges gave the program on chrysanthemumes, stating that chrysanthemums were first culti- vated in China as a flowery herb. As an herb, it was believed to have the power of life. Legend has it that the boiled roots were used as a headache remedy; young sprouts and petals were eaten in salads; and leaves were brewed for a fes- tive drink. The ancient Chinese name for chrysanthemum is “Chu.” The Chinese city of Chu-Hsien (which means Chrysanthemum City) was so named to honor the flower. The chrysanthemum was first introduced into the western world during the 17th century. In 1753 KarlLinnaeus, renowned Swedish botanist, combined the Greek words “chrysos,” meaning gold, with “anthemon,” meaning flower. The earliest illustrations of mums show them as small yellow daisy- like flowers. Regardless of the flower type, they all belong to the Compositae, or daisy, family. Since the chrysan- themum was first introduced into the United States during colonial times, its popularity has grown such that mums now reign as undisputed “Queen of the Fall FOOD INSPECTIONS October 22.

Mums remain the most widely grown pot plant in the country and is one of the longest lasting of all cut flowers. The plants need full sunshine at least five to six hours and there are many kinds of mulch which are satisfactory, and they differ in vari- ous parts of the country. Some plants even have to be staked. Olivia Mayhew will host the November meeting at the Masonic Lodge. Polly Phifer won the friendship basket.
