Named Hardy Chrysanthemums 
The glorious hues and tints of the native trees and shrubs form a perfect 
background for the colorful displays of Chrysanthemums in the fall. 
Late in autumn these Hardy Chrysanthemums make the garden gay with 
color. They should be planted most generously for they are almost the only 
things in bloom at their season. They may be interplanted with earlier flow¬ 
ers, or moved in to follow such things as Canterbury Bells. They may be 
moved when in full bloom without interfering with their beauty. They should 
have a light covering after the ground has frozen.
