CHRYSANTHEMUMS, Hardy Pompone. 



These beautiful varieties 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 pro- 

 duce a lavish profusion of blooms, giving color, life and beauty 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 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.
