( Title : BEYOND THE STOOL) This video is the first of its class, after making many other N.C.S. videos on cultivation we felt it was time to go beyond the normal cultivation video and produce a special advanced video on the complete art of hybridisation with George Freestone on Early Cultivars and Harry Lawson on Late Cultivars which represents two of the United Kingdoms leading specialist hybridisers in all aspects of chrysanthemum cultivation.

Hence its title Beyond the Stool. This video deals with all aspects of cross pollination of the cultivars to produce completely, new types of chrysanthemums, it takes you step by step through the growing season from the cross pollination to the new cultivar in flower that it produced. This has got to be a winner with chrysanthemum enthusiasts around the world, we also cover the art of bloom dressing which is so important to gain those extra vital points on the show bench.

Other demonstrators in this video. WALLACE BROOK - GARY & ANGELA SCOTHERN - DEREK ADAMS - PAT LAWSON - BILL CROFT - JOHN HILDRETH and JIMMY PROSSER. There is also a very moving tribute given by Roger Brownbridge on the life and times of the late Wallace Brook, known the world over as the one and only (Mr Chrysanthemum).
