CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
Early Hardy Single Varieties 
From Various Sources 
In addition to the aforementioned varieties, we are including a list of 
singles which are very acceptable to those interested in Chrysanthemums 
for the garden. Many customers prefer singles to double flowers. They 
are, however, quite fragile and more easily harmed by severe storms and 
are in most instances likely to be permanently injured by early frosts. They 
may be most successfully grown by those persons living near the fortieth 
degree latitude. These varieties flower from September 15 onward, whereas 
most of the Korean Hybrids flower too late for localities where killing frosts 
occur before October 15.
