CUSHION CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
A group of low-growing 'Mums, forming mounds of blooms, reminding 
one of the old-fashioned Azalea. The plants grow about 10 to 12 inches

over a long period. With a little straw protection, the plants are quite 
hardy. All are descendents of the Chrysanthemum Amelia, more often 
called Pink Cushion 'Mum.
