CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
Tlie inclusion of this excellent perennial in 
your garden makes it possible to have color 
in your border after the majority ol hardy 
herbaceous flowers are past. They are valu¬ 
able for cut-llowers and all resist frost well. 
To grow Chrysanthemums at their best, 
have your soil dug deeply and enriched W'ith 
well-rotted manure before planting. If your 
soil is heavy, add sand and humus. For best I 
results, set them out after danger of frost is i 
past in the Spring. Divide frequently to 1 
insure vigorous, healthy plants. !
