Plan now for a fall chrysanthemum show by planting one strong mum this spring. Divide old clumps every other year to yield six to ten new divisions each. Move divisions when under eight inches tall and keep them in shade with burlap mulch to prevent wilting. Set plants 15 inches apart in sun, prepare soil with plant food, water after planting, and take cuttings when mums reach 12 to 15 inches.
