HARDY GARDEN SECTION 
Price: 3 plants 75c, $3.00 per dozen, $20.00 per 100 
The number of special forms of Hardy types is bewildering. The new Korean types, for instance, are prov¬ 
ing most acceptable and charming. The outdoor Chrysanthemum is most certainly coming into its own; you 
should stock up with the newer kinds and enjoy weeks of pleasure in a garden full of flowers at a season when 
the garden begins to look bore. A splendid way to do this is to have your plants growing in pots or in a service 
garden. They lift perfectly and move with little trouble. Try this and you will thank us for the suggestion. 
EARLY FLOWERING CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
The cultivation of these 'Mums is simple; plant them in a rich well-drained piece of ground, setting out the 
plants a foot apart and pinching them once or twice during the months of May or June. They will branch out 
and make beautiful bushes and give the cultivator more return for the labor expended than any plant in the 
garden. There is a place for this type of 'Mum in every garden in America, whether one has greenhouses, 
frames, or grows them in the open garden.
