Hardy Chrysanthemums are among the most de- 
pendable flowers in the autumn garden, providing 
glorious color and spicy fragrance from early Septem- 
ber (August with some varieties) until heavy frosts 
spoil the display. 
There are Chrysanthemums of many types, from the 
Cushion mums for low mounds of color in borders and 
Chrysanthemums 
rock-gardens to the long-stemmed kinds for cutting. 
We feel that we have one of America’s finest and 
most up-to-date Chrysanthemum collections. 
includes selected varieties from the University of 
Minnesota, University of Chicago, and Bristol collec- 
tions, and from several other sources in different parts 
of the country, including some of our own introductions.
