Chrysanthemum NotesSince practically all gardeners intemperate climates know the chrysanthemum in one form or another, onlythe most brief review of its characteristics is needed. A member of the largeand widely distributed fam ily of Composites, it has been cultivated for centuries and like many of its kin hasshown a great diversity, not only inflower color but also in shape andform of bloom as well as some rangeof season, although this latter factoris of no avail to the gardener whogrows his plants out-of-doors in regionswhere summ er heat and autumn frostsare the limiting factors.As is the case for many other plantswith horticultural history that extendsbeyond the time when historical recordsare available, its exact beginnings areopen to certain doubts, but it seemsprobable that only one species, Chrysanthem U1n il1d' CU1111, has been the sourceof most of the garden forms until recent years, when C. k09'eanu111, was introduced into certain lines and evenmore recently when some hybrids havebeen catalogued as having in themblood of C. a1'Cticu111, and C. zawadskyanu.111. I t has been suggested thatC. 111,orifoliu1n may also be involved,but, although this species was certainlyreintroduced into cultivation in thiscountry in 193 1, no claims have beenmade since then for hybrids from thisspecies.The original wild C. i1ldicu.111[, asknown from old Chinese pictures andfrom some relatively recent introductions is a vigorous perennial that develops tall stalks, up to 4 feet, becoming somewhat woody at their base,well clothed w ith the typical, odorous,dark green leaves and producing inthe autumn branches from the upperpa rt of the stalk that branch again tobear the flowers. The on ly plants ofthe wild type known to the writersproduced small single bright yellowflowers in great profusion (see facingill ustration). These were raised fromseed collected by Dorsett and Morsein Chili Province, China, in 1930.Among the many seedlings raised fromthis source, there was no variation incolor and little variation in either size,habit or time of bloom.Early references in garden literatu:-eshow that among the many chrysanthemums brought ea rly from the Orientto Europe, there were various colorsof flower. A lthough it is not definite,it seems probable that these weregarden plants, since most of the Oriental plants first brought into Europeancultivation were from gardens in theport towns open to European trade.Just how or when, the wide range ofcolors and forms began to appear requires more bibliographic work than isavailable for this present study.European gardeners were not slowto discover that the plant responded togood garden cultivation and the gardenroutine, familiar to all, was establi shedearly. A lth ough we do not all fo llowit, we know that an annual propagation, from the vigorous new shootsproduced from about the bases of lastyear's stalks, and planted singly in asunny location with richly prepared,good garden soil, will yield the largestreturns in flowering. To all practicalpurposes, the plant, though perennialby nature, behaves best when treatedas an annual.It is true, of cour e, that a modifiedfo rm of this proced ure is successftrlly*Plant grown by C.

W ithin some limitsthis can give excellent results.The next modification co mes in thosegard ens where no shoots a re removedand the gardener must regulate thegrowth only by trimming the tops asthey develop an d feed ing as he maydecide.Failing thi s, there is no recourse forgarden effect s except to use varitiesdeveloped for the dwarf habit andmasses of fl owers, often blooms of secondary merit if examin ed closely, buteffective in mass.Left to natural growth, the chrysanthem um com1110nly develops tall stalks,which altho ugh fairl y strong are nota lways str ong enough to bear theweight of foliage and less strong tocarry the flowers that develop fromshoots in all the upper leaf axils. Thegardener, therefore, must either stakehis plants or resort to pr uning. Theformer is usually a considerable choreand the latter is easy to accompli sh andmost rewarding. Unless through poorfeeding and excessive dryness theplants have become unduly woody, thechrysanthemum can be cut down toalm ost any degree desired and still produce new growth that wi ll flower w ell,provided the dates of first fro st a reco nsidered. F lowers are most vulnerable when pa rtly open.For ideal results prunin bO' should be g1l1 early. As soo n as the young plantshows by its vigorous growth that roo tactivity is gr eat, the entire top of thesh?ot can be cut off leaving -o nly 2 to4 1l1ches at the base. In most varietiesnew shoots wi ll develop from the axil of all the remain ing leaves and sometim es there wi ll also arise shoots fromAp r., 19-1 8th.e crown. These in turn can be pruned( "t-o ppe d" or " stopped") w I1en t I1eyhave produced enough growth to leave2 to 3 leaves after the top is cut off.This process can be contin ued alm os"indefinitely. The " rule of th umb " fo rthe time of the last pruning is that thisshould come at a date that would allowa minimum of two fu ll months beforeflowering is expected. Under thismethod, the plants should have a fin estrong, inner skeleton of branches,which, in developing the floweringlaterals, will give an almost hemispherical appearance to the whole plant. Fornormally dwa rfish varieties, thi s iseasily accomplished, but stronger andtaller-growing so rts will show the expected variations, and often will requirestaking to support the whole in therainy and windy weather often expected at flowering time.In the garden, the insects that maydamage chrysanthemums may varysomewhat according to th e locality, butthe commonest -complaint is to belodged against the aphis, whether onthe r oots or the sU0culent growingshoots. The usual tobacco-soap contactspray, applied as often as needed, willgenerally control th em. For the bugsthat in sucking sap from th e stems soinjure them that they mu st be cut off,there is no easy control, but the gardener may rely on th e plant to redotheitself with shoots, unless the injurytakes-place in early autumn. F or chewing insects that like to damage foliageand particularly yo ung buds, stomachpoisons must be usecl.Uncler normal conditions, the chrysanthemum is a pla nt that likes full sunshin e. To what deg ree thi s can bemodified mu st be determined by thegardener for him self. In this climate( Distri ct of Columbia and Maryland) ,Ceres, ApolloAutumn Tints, Lou'ise Schling

62THE NATIONAL HORTICULTURAL MAGAZ I NEless than 5 hours of full sun daily produces plants with weak stalks andcorrespondingly reduced fl owering. Afew vari eties, left to their own devicesin shade, have persisted for years butrarely flower. They, however, have notbeen fed and a re almost left to growas if "wild," so that this remark can beconsidered merely as indicative of ' anec ultural limitation.In repo rting on th e varieties enumerated in this article, certain expressions have been used in relation to thetype of fl owering. There are vari etieslike Charles N ey, which tend to produce fl owering laterals of varyinglengths so that all the fl owers appearon one level. This gives a particularlyshowy effect on the plant, which appears as if covered fully with bloomthat hides the foliage. Some likeR ose Glow produce their fl owers ingraduated sprays and as the Howersopen successively, the plant effect isless strikin g, but the cut sp rays areoften more easi ly arranged. O thers likeYellow Irene produced their fl owerson shor t laterals, so that the cut stalkhas the appearance of a long, compounded inflorescence.The terms used for describing thetype of bloom are less easily determined, since the gradati ons betweenthe typical "button," the typical "pompon," the typical " incurved," the typical "decorative" are so numerous thatit is sometimes hard to say where onetype leaves off an d a nother begins. Thesame diffic ulty arises in considering themodifications away from the disk ofyellow di sk fl owers.The technicalities of these consideration s can best be studied from the speciali sts' findings and ne ed not concernthe gardener unless he means to exhibi tin fl ower shows.Vvithin the limits of space and workhour available to the write rs, bothApr., 1948employed full time, it was not possibleto grow an indefini te number of thestanda rd and novelty varieties that areoffered in anyone year. Those reported were bought from sources conveni ent to hand, presumably representing the choice of the local nurseries.It is obvious that gardeners elsewherecould and would choose other hsts .Perhaps it might be added that theyshould choose other li sts, since some ofthe sorts that did not do well here areknown to do well elsewhere. It isprobable, therefore, that in time chrysanthemum s may show as localized deveJ.opments as seems to be the case fOlother plants now in the hands of plantbreeders for developm ent.The method of growing was intentionally not different from that withinthe possibilities of any gardener. Thesite chosen was sloping, to insure airdrainage, high enough on the slopeto be above the level where cold airmight accumulate and facing south.The land was well dug and fertilizedin the rows where the plants were set.These were placed two feet apart inth e rows, and the r ows set out about30 inches apart. There was no protection from wind which made little difference until th e extreme close of theseason when some shelter might havepreserved the last blossoms a li ttlelonger.As to the "weather" of the season of1947, there were no conspicuous variati ons. The mid-summer "dry period,"which varies somewhat in occurrence,took place that yea r during most ofA ugust whi le the plants were in goodg rowth. It may have had some effectupon the ].oss of the lower leaves in afew varieties.

Local "gardentalk" gave the opinion th at it was nota "good season" foO r c hrysanthemum sbut this planting, with a few exceptions, performed well.The chart on pages 81, 82 gIves 111diag rammatic form the time and extent of full bloom. There is also indi cated th e time given in cataloguesfor flow ering, as this differs conspicuously r,om what happened under thes elocal conditions for this one seaSOn.That there may be so me degree of errorin this is mentioned since a few of thesevarieti es, previously grown locally inanother site, gave a better performance in 1946.In giving color descriptions, any reporter is faced with certain difficulties.In some varieties, the petal colorli ghtens in tone as the flow er matures .This is due in part to an actual chano'e.0111 color but more often because theexpan ding petal does not allow the intensity of color that is built up in theshadows that li e between the smallfloret of the center and in the depth ofthe bloom i tsel f. I n some cases th e basecolor is actually "washed" over withanother hu e; in others th e upper pigmenta ti on is seen on d ose examinationt,o be actually "sanded" or stippledover the basic tone. In certain varietiesthere is an actual difference on th e twofaces of each floret and, since the lowersurface shows in the center of the developing bloom, this has a markedeffect on the appearance. In some fewvariet ies, particularly whites, a pinkishtone develops on the margins and tipsof the petals as the fl owe r ages. Acareful co lor read in g of th e fl ower willgive a more detailed result than a r ecord of the garden effect, seen fr om aApr., 1948short di stance. Since this latter reading is generally a simplifi cation , no special empha sis is laid on it in the notesthat follow .
