OTHER HARDY GARDEN 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
A proper selection of Hardy Chrysanthe¬ 
mums prolongs the flowering season in the 
garden many weeks beyond its usual close. 
The borders will glow with color in October 
and November if a collection of well-chosen 
Hardy Chrysanthemums has been planted. 
Great strides have been made in the past few 
years in the development of brightly colored, 
early-flowering types which escape the severe 
frosts by blooming earlier than the varieties 
of several years ago. We offer a choice collec¬ 
tion. The pot-plants which we send out, al¬ 
though not very large, will positively bloom 
the first season if planted in a reasonably rich, 
light, well-drained soil and given reasonable 
cultivation throughout the summer.
