Hardy Chrysanthemums deserve their increasing popularity; they begin to bloom in the fall, after most 

 garden plants have finished their work, and continue until actually frozen. Light frosts do them httle harm. 

 They are easy to grow, thriving in any ordinary soil, and are httle affected by disease or insects. A thin 

 covering of some hght material is all the winter protection they need. 



We are building up a splendid collection of these lovely flowers, and the following list contains several 

 of the finest varieties in cultivation. Four types — Decorative, Single, Pompon, and Button — are repre- 

 sented. Plant any time after frost danger is past.
