OUTDOOR 
In the far North we need the very hardiest and the very earliest of these Chrysanthemums, 
so that they carry through the winter and blossom early enough to escape frost in the fall. 
In the first place, to live they must be planted in a protected spot behind some sort of a 
windbreak, so they will not be hit by the winds of winter. Then they must be carefully covered 
for winter. 
But, if one wants to, just before frost comes, they can take the plants up, pot them, and they 
will give you a wonderful display inside for about six weeks. That is what we did with a few 
of each kind last fall, and the result was almost beyond belief. 
For people living as far or farther north than we do here at Faribault, the Hardy Chrysan¬ 
themum should not be depended upon as an outdoor garden flower, for generally it blooms too 
late. It should be potted just before frost and bloomed inside where it will give wonderful 
results. The fall asters should be used for the outdoor garden flower. 
The Choice of Nearly 100 Kinds 
Our list is a choice from nearly 100 kinds which we tested out in the field this year. These 
are the hardiest and earliest and best of the entire list for far North customers. Of course, the 
farther South one lives, the longer and surer results one will get. 
11 Beautiful Varieties to Choose From 
ADIRONDA. A small, compact, reddish bronze. Very free-flowering. An excellent Pompon. 
ALADDIN. A pleasing shade of bronze. Late September and early October. 
AMELIA (The Azalea-Flowered Chrysanthemum). This wonderful new hardy outdoor 
Chrysanthemum at the 1933 and 1934 Century of Progress World’s Fair created a great deal 
of interest. The plant is dwarf and spreading in growth and is very hardy. When well estab¬ 
lished a single plant has been known to carry 1500 blooms at one time open in full flower. 
It begins to bloom in this latitude in September and from then on until heavy frost, is covered 
with beautiful pink blossoms. It seems that this flower is sold under many different names, 
but the true name is Amelia, or Pink Cushion. 
EARLY BRONZE. Orange-bronze of Button type. In full bloom about September 20, and 
remains in fine condition until severe frost. Height 20 inches. Flowers, lYs inches.

in length of stem and freedom of bloom. Blooms September 10. 3 inches in diameter.

size. September 10.

White, but in color it is a beautiful pink. 18 inches.

These are the sensational new Hardy Chrysanthemums that carry the hardy blood of the 
Korean Chrysanthemum that makes of them the hardiest Chrysanthemums in the world. When 
they first came out there was only the single type but gradually doubles have been evolved until 
we now have some wonderful double Koreans. We have eliminated the older Koreans as better 
new ones have appeared and our list is now right up to date with those varieties which we 
have chosen as the best. 
MERCURY. A brilliant deep red of very large size and striking appearance. A very outstand¬ 
ing one and extremely hardy. We think this the best of the older list of Koreans. 
Price, 35c each; 3 for $1.00.
