Hardy Chrysanthemums 
The following fine, rugged varieties assembled from various classes, 
have proven hardy throughout the middle west, with some protection, 
during winter. Is advisable to cut off the old tops to a few inches above 
the ground, then cover with old straw or leaves before winter sets in. 
The best blooms will result from annual transplanting, separating the 
year-old clumps into small divisions. We call your attention to several 
new varieties of special value and attractiveness, rather fully illustrated 
here and on page 37; also seven choice varieties grouped on color page C. 
(Opposite page 32).
