HARDY GARDEN SECTION 
Price: 3 plants 75c, $3.00 per dozen, $20.00 per 100. 
T he number of special forms of Hardy types is bewildering. The new Korean types, for 
instance, are proving most acceptable and charming. The outdoor Chrysanthemum is most 
certainly coming into its own; you should stock up with the newer kinds and enjoy weeks 
of pleasure in a garden full of flowers at a season when the garden begins to look bare. A splendid 
way to do this is to have your plants growing in pots or in a service garden. They lift perfectly 
and move with little trouble. Try this and you will thank us for the suggestion. 
EARLY FLOWERING CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
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 pinching 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 ’Mum in every 
garden in America, whether one has greenhouses, frames, or grows them in the open garden.
