Hardy Pompon Chrysanthemums 



<These beautuul varieties are again very popular for outdoor 

 bedding purposes. They are quite hardy, and with but a slight 

 covering of leaves or coarse stable litter during the winter will 

 take care of themselves after once planted, and produce an abund- 

 ant, almost lavish, profusion of bloom; and the plants lend a col- 

 oration to the garden just at a time when other plants have been 

 destroyed by frost and are looking their worst. Frost does not 

 materially affect the flowering, and it will frequently happen that 

 an armful of flowers can be cut after a sharp frost. Except where
