Hardy Garden Chrysanthemums 
A proper selection of Hardy Chrysanthemums prolongs the 
flowering season in the garden many weeks beyond its usual 
close. The borders will glow with color in October and November 
if a collection of well-chosen Hardy Chrysanthemums has been 
planted. Great strides have been made in the past few years 
in the development of brightly colored, early-flowering types 
which escape the severe frosts by blooming earlier than the 
varieties of several years ago. We offer a choice collection. 
The pot-plants which we send out, although not very large, will 
positively bloom the first season if planted in a reasonably rich, 
light, well-drained soil and given reasonable cultivation through¬ 
out the summer.
