Hardy Chrysanthemums—Nature’s parting gift to autumn 
Chrysanthemum, Astrid 
Hardy Garden Chrysanthemums 
These showy and effective favorites are now universally popular. 
When planted outside, they extend the flowering season of your peren¬ 
nial garden, blooming profusely in October after other flowers have 
been browned by early frosts, which do not affect the Chrysanthe¬ 
mums, and producing a wealth of bloom especially fine for cutting. 
They should be planted in a well-drained position, either in the 
hardy border or at the edge of a shrubbery border. The planting 
should be done early in the spring, so that the plants will have the 
entire summer to establish themselves, and late in the autumn, after 
they have finished flowering, and the tops have been cut off, they

should have a covering of leaves or loose litter as a winter protec¬ 
tion, but do not cover with manure. Early in the spring, after 
danger of severe freezing is over, and before any growth starts, 
the covering should be removed.

New Early Korean Hybrid Chrysanthemums 
From 25,000 hybrid seedlings of 1934, the following were selected, not alone for the novel 
color tones in many of them and their variations in form, but most particularly because of 
their flowering from 10 to 14 days earlier than the Korean crosses heretofore offered. 
The Korean Hybrids have been welcomed not alone for their dainty flowers and graceful 
plants, but particularly for their increased hardiness. The varieties offered will begin 
flowering early in September and continue well through October.
