Hardy Chrysanthemums 
These Chrysanthemums are a wonderful addition to 
the garden, adding a lot of color after most annuals and 
perennials are through. 
Hardy Chrysanthemums have extended the garden 
season greatly, and also created much new interest in 
gardening, particularly the late summer and fall. 
Chrysanthemums require a good, fairly rich soil for 
best results; they need additional feeding later in the 
season, about the time buds begin to appear. 
While some varieties will winter over better than 
others in our climate, they should be protected with a 
gocd covering of leaves or hay in about the same manner 
as most perennials. 
After trying out many kinds locally, we have made a 
selection of varieties of those we consider most desirable 
from the standpoint of earliness and other good qualities 
which we offer in the following list.
