Hardy Chrysanthemums Most Chrysanthemums are hardy out-of- 

 doors in the northern states with slight protection as far as their roots 

 are concerned, but fail to be satisfactory owing to early frosts which ruin 

 the buds when in a half-developed condition. The most serviceable varie- 

 ties are the early flowering rompons, which perfect their flowers before 

 frost. Many of the later ones can be used to advantage in the southern 

 states, or in localities where severe frosts are not expected until the mid- 

 dle of November.
