CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
These showy and effective favorites are now universally popular. When planted outside they extend the flowering season of your peren¬ 
nial garden, blooming profusely in October after other flowers have been browned by early frosts, which do not affect the Chrysanthemums, 
producing a wealth of bloom especially fine for cutting. They should be planted early in a well-drained position, either in the hardy border 
or at the edge of a shrubbery border, and late in the autumn, after they have finished flowering and the tops have been cut off, they should 
have a covering of leaves or loose litter as a winter protection, but do not cover with manure.
