Hardy Pompoiie Chrysanthemums. 



These beautiful varieties are now universally popular for outdoor bed- 

 and, considering their many good qualities, there is no cause for sur- 

 prise to see them cultivated so extensively. They produce a lavish 

 profusion of blooms, giving color, life and beauty to the garden just 

 at a time when other plants have l;een destroyed by frost and are 

 looking their wor.<t. Frost does not materially afl"ect the flowering, 

 and it will frequently happen that an armful of flowers can be cut 

 late in November. They are quite hardy, and, with but a slight 

 covering of leaves or litter during the winter, will take care of 

 themselves after once planted.
