Japanese Mountain Chrysanthemums 
AS A GARDEN PLANT— The Japanese Mountain Chrysanthemum is perfectly hardy 
outside where it produces a symmetrical bush two feet high. It has a wide range of 
colors including bronze, pink, red, white, yellow, with many intermediate shades and has 
varied forms of double, semi-double, single, quilled and crested flowers. The keeping 
qualities of the flowers make them ideal for cutting and unlike most “mums’ the leaves 
remain green until late in the season. ... *

artificial treatment. By proper pinching and staking, a potted plant can be grown in
