CHRYSANTHEMUMS
ENCOURAGE STRONG SUCKER GROWTHS. Most of the chrysanthemums have finished flowering and should be cut down. To encourage strong sucker growths from the base work round the old clumps, give a light dressing of superphosphate or bonedust. It is from the young sucker growths that new plants are raised for next year’s flowering. These young growths may be planted as soon as ready, say, when they are 3in long. If allowed to remain .they grow too tall and do not make good plants. Chrysanthemums vary in the time when they send up sucker growth; some are ready for propagating now, others will not throw new growths for a month or more, but, as mentioned above, they should be taken off as soon as ready and planted in nursery beds in a sheltered but not shaded place.
