Double Japanese Mountain Chrysanthemum 
Japanese Mountain Chrysanthemum 
AS A GARDEN PLANT—The 
Japanese Mountain Chrysanthemum 
Is perfectly hardy outside where it 
produces a symmetrical bush two 
feet high. It has a wide range of 
colors, including bronze, pink, red, 
white, yellow, with many interme¬ 
diate shadeis and has varied forms 
of double, semi-double, single, 
quilled and crested flowers. The 
keeping qualities of the flowers 
make them ideal for cutting and un¬ 
like most “mums” the leaves re¬ 
main green until late in the season. 
AS A HOUSE PLANT—The 
Mountain Chrysanthemum is 
unique in its response to artificial 
treatment. By proper pinching and 
staking, a potted plant can be 
grown in many unusual and fan¬ 
tastic forms. Pot plants continue 
in bloom long after outdoor plants 
have been cut down by frost.

danger of freezing and watch them develop into strong blooming plants by fall. We will
