DAHLIADEL NURSERIES 
HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
For many years we have felt a great sense of loss 
when Jack Frost arrived and left our vast fields of 
colorful dahlias a blackened mass. No doubt you 
have had the same feeling. From riches to rags as 
it were. 
So that the change might not be so abrupt, and 
that we might enjoy flowers during the weeks of 
fine weather which usually follow the first killing 
frost, we searched for another flower to take the 
place of the departed dahlias, and decided upon the 
modern, hardy chrysanthemum. We then travelled 
to many gardens and plantings to find the hardy 
*’mums which were still fine after a hard frost. After 
a few years of this, we bought in the following var- 
ieties, grew them ourselves and we are listing them 
for your approval this season, feeling sure they will 
perform for you in the same satisfactory manner 
they have for us. . 
Culture is simple. Plant them about 1% to 2.feet 
apart in ordinary garden soil, giving lots of water 
during the season. Fertilize with a complete fertil- 
izer twice during the season, the last about three 
weeks before blooming time. For the black aphis, 
their worst insect pest, use a nicotine spray as re- 
commended for dahlias on page 25.
