Early Hardy Single Varieties 
From Various Sources 
In addition to the aforementioned varieties, we are including a list of singles 
which are very acceptable to those interested in Chrysanthemums for the gar¬ 
den. Many customers prefer singles to double flowers. They are, however, 
quite fragile and more easily harmed by severe storms and are in most in¬ 
stances likely to be permanently injured by early frosts. They may be most 
successfully grown by those persons living near the fortieth degree latitude. 
These varieties flower from September 15 onward, whereas, most of the Korean 
Hybrids flower too late for localities where killing frosts occur before October 15. 
ASTRID. This new single flowered will, no doubt, be exceedingly hardy, the same as 
Arcticum, one of the primitive types. It blooms on or before October 1st and the 
flowers, 3 inches in diameter, are a pleasing shade of light pink with apricot 
shadings.
