The book also covers propagating, growing, and cutting chrysanthemums, with their uses in bouquets, home displays, and gardens in view. Georgianna Lane’s color photography accompanies Slade’s botanical and gardening material, making this both a reference to distinctive varieties and a source of growing guidance.
