time) has given it its name of “Pink 
Cushion”; it is also known under the name 
of “Amelia”. It blooms from early in Au¬

border plant; also fine for pots. Give rich 
soil and plenty of water; plant 2 ft. apart.

The new Hardy Hybrid Korean Chrysan¬ 
themums are especially fine for cold cli¬ 
mates where the ordinary chrysanthemum 
winter-kills. They are hardier, most attrac¬
