Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chrysanthemums and Their Culture (Illustrated): A Practical Treatise on Propagating, Growing, and Exhibiting, From the Cutting to the Silver Cup Many times have I been requested to detail my experience of the cultivation of the Chrysanthemum for the benefit of others, but I preferred to wait until I had reasonable grounds for speaking with confidence upon the subject. In this treatise I have endeavoured to explain as clearly as possible the culture of this flower in all its stages, and I venture to hope that anyone possessing the requisite means may, if the instructions be faithfully carried out, grow this increasingly popular flower well. The chapters of this work have recently been published in the Journal of Horticulture, and I have been encouraged by many flattering letters testifying to their service to beginners in Chrysanthemum culture. It only remains now for me to thank those friends who have so kindly assisted me in the work - namely, Miss J. H. Pace for the excellent sketches drawn from nature which adorn its pages, and enhance its value; the proprietors of the Journal mentioned for the illustrations of specimen plants; and Mr. J. Wright, to whom I am indebted for valuable suggestions and for his services as Editor of the work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
