Hardy Chrysanthemums 
- Hardy outdoor Chrysanthemums produce a wealth of floral 
display long after more tender flowers have been killed by 
frosts, and will supply an abundance of cut flowers well into 
October and even November in mild seasons. Though per¬ 
fectly hardy they should be cut down and covered with 
leaves after they are through flowering as they do not like 
excessive moisture during the winter.
