HARDY POI»IPON CHRYSANTHEIHUIHS. 



These are now universally popular for outdoor bedding, and, considering their many 

 good qualities, there is no cause for surprise to see them cultivated .so extensively 

 They produce a lavish profusion of blooms, giving color, life and lieauty to the garden 

 just at a lime when other plants have been destroyed by frost and are looking their 

 worst. Frost does not materially afl"ect the flowering, and it will frequently happen 

 that an armful of flowers can be cut late in November. Tliey are quite hardy if planted 

 in a well -drained position, and, with a slight covering of leaves or litter during the 

 winter, will take care of themselves after once planted.
