CHRYSANTHEMUMS, CUSHION, HARDY (RG) 
A group of low-growing Chrysanthemums, forming mounds of blooms, re- 
minding one of the old-fashioned Azalea. The plants grow about 10 or 12 in. 
high and spread 2 ft. or more. They flower quite early. All during September 
they are literally covered with hundreds of flowers which last over a long 
period. All are descendents of the Chrysanthemum Amelia, more often 
called Pink Cushion Chrysanthemem. We recommend handling these as pot 
plants.
