CHRYSANTHEMUMS, Hardy Garden, Korean 
Hybrid. 
The large variation in color, size of blossom, 
and flower, form single or double, make this 
group the most desirable in any garden for late 
blooms, coming as it does, when most other 
flowers are gone by. It stands light frost and 
the blooms have large keeping qualities when 
kept in house vases, often keeping two weeks 
or more. Plants should be set in April or May 
in groups of three or more. 15 to 18 inches apart. 
Pinching out the tops will insure bushy plants. 
Does best in a well drained soil, well fer¬ 
tilized, and when watering, water deep, as light 
sprinkling does not reach the roots. Be sure 
and have some of these hardy chrysanthemums 
in your garden for late bloom. Will enable you 
to have table flowers up to Thanksgiving.
