HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS 



When planted in sheltered locations, particularly at the 

 base of walls, buildings, or shrubberj', the hardy Chrysanthe- 

 mums are wonderfully satisfactory, producing an effective 

 display long after the ordinary garden flowers are destroyed by 

 frost. Even after light falls of snow, it is sometimes possible to 

 cut uninjured clusters. 



Chrysanthemums are divided into four groups: Large- 

 flowering, Pompon, Button, and Single-flowering sorts. 



The varieties described below have been selected from an 

 immense list, and are undoubtedly the best, comprising a wide 

 range of forms and colors. We advise planting them from 

 April 1.5th to May loth, and we also advise protecting them 

 in the Winter with a litter of leaves and straw. 



The dates given back of the varieties indicate the flowering 

 period in our trial grounds, Fall, 1925. These, of course, 

 may varj- some at different seasons, but will be a guide.
