Hardy Perennial Plants 
Chrysanthemum 
Hardy October Rose. 
The development of the hardy Chrysan¬ 
themum has made it possible to have color, 
life and beauty in the garden when the 
other hardy plants are past. Frost in the 
fall does not greatly affect the flowering, 
and it frequently happens that a quantity 
of flowers can be cut late in November. The 
plants prefer a well drained, sunny position.
