Book excerpt: Excerpt from Smith's Chrysanthemum Manual During the past thirty years, I have devoted much time and energy to the cultivation and improvement of the Chrysanthemum and have received many inquiries from those desirous of gaining knowledge on this subject. Confronted with these facts and realizing the urgent need for a complete, as Well as practical treatise, at a price within the reach of all, I make this attempt in compliance with these demands. It is my desire to concisely set forth in these pages all details pertaining to Chrysanthemum culture, beginning with stock plants, treating the many branches, through each stage of development, up to and including the staging of plants and cut blooms. Most of the works upon this subject have been confined to methods practical only to florists, having every facility necessary to successful culture. The amateur, growing a few plants for pleasure and eager for better results, has been entirely overlooked. It is hoped this booklet will meet the requirements of all. There is no plant which responds more freely to careful attention than the Chrysanthemum. The whole secret of success lies in prompt attention to details, and when these are thoroughly understood and executed, we may expect a generous reward. The celerity with which the first three editions sold has prompted my issuing this Fourth Edition. I trust that my efforts will be assistance to many.
