Hardy Chrysanthemums 
Among all of the late'flowering garden 
subjects. Chrysanthemums are unquestion' 
ably favorites. Each season they meet with 
an increasing demand. The majority of 
kinds are reasonably hardy unless planted 
in improperly drained soil. To grow these 
plants well it is essential that the soil should 
be deeply dug and liberally enriched before 
planting. Heavy soils should have plenty 
of decayed vegetable refuse and sand, as 
well as manure, added to lighten its texture. 
The safest time to set out plants is the first 
or second week in May. For winter pro- 
tection, cover with some coarse material 
which will admit air and still afford protec' 
tion. Lift and divide every second year for 
best results.

Aladdin (The Perpetual Flowering Chrys' 
anthemum). As the plant develops the 
lateral branches make a surprising growth, 
throwing the lateral and sublateral flowers 
well above the first terminal blooms, thus 
giving a continuous succession of bloom. 
The first blooms appear late in July and 
early August, the color at first being an 
exquisite warm coppery bronze, with an 
overlay of orange'apricot shade which 
deepens in early autumn.

October, having the ability to resist con' 
siderable frost in the open flowers. 
Glory of Seven Oaks. This is the first out'

clear masses of bloom have made it a

It is a solid compact grower, flowering 
from first of October until frost. The 
flowers come continuously throughout the 
entire fall. The whole clump, while in 
flower, is completely covered. The color 
is a beautiful shade of pink. Due to its 
color and its compact growth we believe 
at this time there is no other Chrysanthe- 
mum as effective in rock garden, land' 
scape or border planting.
