Hardy Perennial Plants 
Chrysanthemum 
For a Glorious Display in Fall 
The development of the hardy Chry¬ 
santhemum has made it possible to 
have color, life and beauty in the gar¬ 
den when the other hardy plant-e are 
past. Frost in the fall does not great¬ 
ly affect the flowering, and it frequent¬ 
ly happens that a quantity of flowers 
can be cut in November. The plants 
prefer a well-drained, sunny position.
