The above are usually grown in the greenhouse, but are being 
used more every year for outdoor work in the garden. Many 
of these are perfectly hardy as to plants, and if planted where 
severe frosts do not occur until late in the fall, will mature their 
flowers outside. I may add that the Japanese Anemone-flowered 
Chrysanthemums with their high rounded centers, encircled by 
one or more rows of "ray" petals, resembling a pin cushion, 
may also be grown outdoors ; three of the best and hardiest are : 
Ganya. Bay petals white, center petals pale yellow. 
Vayenne. Bay petals dark pink, center petals creamy pink. 
Mrs. Shimmind. Orange shaded scarlet. 
As late as December 5th, 1921, we were cutting the flowers 
of the following varieties : Hilda Canning, Heloise, King Henry, 
Auray. If we had not had a snowstorm, the Heloise would have 
lasted another week. With their cheerful, vivid colors, with 
their profuseness of bloom, and hardiness as to weather, is there 
any flower which after the rest of the garden has fallen before 
the frosts, enriches the home indoors and out, as the Hardy 
Chrysanthemums ?
