Hardy Chrysanthemums 
When planted in a sheltered position, they are a 
joy in fall, often after other plants have been killed 
by early frost. Armfuls of colorful bloom can then 
be cut from these Chrysanthemums. The best time 
to plant them is from April 15 to end of May. 
When bushy plants are desired, pinch tops back to 
about 6 inches high after planting. Plant in well- 
drained soil and protect in late fall with leaves. 
Price of Chrysanthemums, unless noted, 85 cts. 
for 3, $2.25 for 10, $20 per 100
