Chrysanthemum, Large-Flowering, Barbara Cumming 
Named Hardy Chrysanthemums 
The glorious hues and tints of the native trees and shrubs form a perfect 
background for the colorful displays of Chrysanthemums in the fall. 
Late in autumn these Hardy Chrysanthemums make the garden gay with 
color. They should be planted most generously for they are almost the only 
things in bloom at their season. They may be interplanted with earlier flow¬ 
ers, or moved in to follow such things as Canterbury Bells. They may be 
moved when in full bloom without interfering with their beauty. They should 
have a light covering after the ground has frozen. 
Those marked (LF) are the large-flowering varieties.

KOREAN HYBRID CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
2% ft. September to November. 
All of these hybrids are plants of robust and attractive growth with an 
additional degree of hardiness that is particularly desirable in New England 
and other sections where over-wintering is a problem. They have a range of 
lovely pastel and intense shades which defy accurate description. They are 
compelling for their color effect in the border as well as for their striking 
decorative uses as cut flowers. Many begin to flower early in October, thus 
lengthening by several weeks the flowering season of the Hardy Chrysan¬ 
themums.
