A. L. DON & CO., 
HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
These plants are indispensable in the garden or hardy border as they produce a profusion of blooms 
giving color and beauty to the garden at a time when other plants have been destroyed by frost. They 
are reasonably hardy if planted in a well-drained position and if given a slight protection of leaves or 
loose litter during the winter. 
Chrysanthemums are divided in four groups as listed below. The varieties described below have been 
selected from an immense list and we believe them to be the best in their respective class and color. 
ALL plants — 25c each; $2.50 per dozen; $20.00 per 100
