MICHELL’S HARDY PERENNIAL PLANTS 
no 
HARDY GARDEN CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
These showy and effective favorites are now universally popular. When planted outside they extend the flowering season of your 
perennial garden, blooming profusely in October after other flowers have been browned by early frosts, which do not affect the Chrys¬ 
anthemums, producing a wealth of bloom especially fine for cutting. They should be planted in a well drained position either in the 
hardy border or at the edge of a shrubbery border. The planting should be done early in the Spring, so that the plants will have the 
entire Summer to establish themselves, and late in the Autumn, after they have finished flowering, and the tops have been cut off they 
should have a covering of leaves or loose litter as a Winter protection, but do not cover with manure. Early in the Spring after danger 
of severe freezing is over and before any growth starts, the covering should be removed.
