Hardy Garden Section 
The varieties that follow are all perfectly hardy, providing they are grown in a sec¬ 
tion that is not too wet. If the stock plants are water soaked all Winter, or frozen up 
in cakes of ice, they will not survive, but given congenial growing conditions and a slight 
protection of dry leaves with pine branches over them to prevent the leaves blowing 
away, they will come through without any trouble. Then in the Spring, after they 
commence to grow, they should be divided so just one shoot will remain to make the 
future plant. While the first frost will blast the flowers that are developed at the time, 
it will not injure the unopened buds, and the outdoor ’Mums can be enjoyed to their 
fullest extent all through the lovely “Indian Summer” weather. 
Early Flowering Chrysanthemums 
This type of Chrysanthemum deserves a place in every garden, coming as it does 
alter the Summer flowers have begun to wane, and continuing to bloom profusely in 
most places until well into November. The cultivation of these ’Mums is simple: Plant 
them in a rich, well drained piece of ground, setting out the plants a foot apart and pinch¬ 
ing them once or twice during the months of May or June. They will branch out and 
make beautiful bushes and give the cultivator more return for the labor expended than 
any plant in the garden. There is a place for this type of ’Mums in every garden in 
America, whether one has greenhouses or frames or not. Some growers who have grown 
these as pot plants have had great success with the same and we can recommend them 
highly for that purpose.
