CHRYSANTHEMUMS

Depending on the climate, chrysanthemum stools are sometimes lifted and replanted under glass. A friend sets his in ashes and finds they come on well for cuttings in the early year. Chrysanthemums need not, however, be brought in unless they are likely to be exposed to very hard conditions, although it can. not be denied that they improve with the breaking tiP of over-large root clumps.
