HARDY GARDEN SECTION 
EARLY FLOWERING CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
T HE cultivation of these 'Mums is simple; plant them in a rich well-drained piece of ground 
setting out the plants a foot apart and pinching them once or twice during the months of 
May or June. They will branch out and make beautiful bushes and give the cultivator more 
return for the labor expended than any plant in the garden. There is a place for this type of 
'Mum in every garden in America, whether one has greenhouses, frames, or grows them in the 
open garden. 
Price: 3 plants 75c, $3.00 per dozen, $20.00 per 100
