Excerpt from Chrysanthemum Culture for America: A Book About Chrysanthemums, Their History, Classification and Care
To all who cultivate the Chrysanthemum - the Star-eyed Daughter of the Fall - the author presents this little volume that he has endeavored to make replete with tidings of the Autumn Queen.
Numerous works have been devoted to this favorite flower, but they are chiefly of English origin, and in view of the great difference in our climatic conditions, they can only with uncertainty be adopted as guides in our country. There have also been issued a few excellent treatises on the Chrysanthemum, that except in a casual manner do not deal with anything further than mere cultural details, and it is therefore hoped that the ensuing pages will be of interest to those who are desirous of obtaining, in addition to cultural instructions, a brief history of their favorite flower, gleaned from many sources.
