Aladdin 
Hardy Chrysanthemums 
The following fine, rugged varieties assembled from various classes, 
have proven hardy throughout the Middle West, with some protection, 
during winter. Is advisable to cut off the old tops to a few inches above 
the ground, then cover with old straw or leaves before winter sets in. The 
best blooms will result from annual transplanting, separating the year- 
old clumps into small divisions.
