Description
Chrysanthemum shows were immensely popular from the last quarter of the 19th century through the 1920s, with multi-day shows held in the fall in major cities in the United States and Canada. The public was fascinated with the "wonderfully bizarre" Japanese forms introduced at this time. Exhibitors would graft different kinds and colors of chrysanthemums to one plant. Bigger flowers attracted attention; with the right coaxing, chrysanthemums could have dinner-plate-sized flowers.
