RIETIES. These include the cushion 
mum or azaleamum types, plus other 
newer developments. Lower and 
much earlier than ordinary garden 
chrysanthemums, flowering from late 
summer until killing frost. All are 
vigorous growers and can be highly 
recommended for climates, such as 
this, where the tall varieties will not 
ordinarily bloom before killing frosts. 
Bronze Cushion, semi-double sal- 
mon bronze Fas,

September Gold, much like Pigmy 
Gold, but taller, larger and deeper 
in color, Somewhat better for cut- 
ting. Introduced 1941. .00 
CHRYSANTHEMUM, LATE VARIE- 
TIES. These are usually as hardy 
here as the cushion types, but their 
later flowering habit makes them less 
useful in severe climates. We _ see 
their bloom here only every two or 
three years. Not recommended for 
areas where killing frosts come be- 
fore late October. Usually bloom well 
on lower New England coast, south- 
ern New York, and south.
