COLE'S HARDY 
After hearing claims all year for and against this variety and that variety of Hardy Chrysan- 
themum, we decided to look them all over and find out for ourselves just which varieties were 
worthy of a listing in this catalog. Countless varieties have been examined, both for quality of 
bloom, quantity of bloom, and habit of the plants. Growth and hardiness records of these varieties 
were looked into to see that they not only bloomed beautifully, but withstood hard winters. In this 
manner, variety after variety was eliminated from the list and new varieties were added until we 
believe here is a list of the leaders—the greatest ‘Mums now available to the general public. 
You can’t go wrong with this fine list of Hardy Chrysanthemums, Every one is a winner.
