HARDY PERENNIALS FOR THE BORDER 
Hardy Chrysanthemums 
These fine rugged varieties, assembled from 
various Classes of Mums, have proven hardy in 
the Middle West, with some protection during 
winter. It is advisable to cut off the old tops, 
to a few inches above the ground, then cover 
with straw or leaves before winter sets in. The 
best blooms will result from annual transplant- 
ing, separating the year old clumps into smaller 
divisions. The plants offered will be ready 
about April 20th. i
