NEW HARDY 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
An added month of flowers now makes Indian 
Summer a most colorful season of Chrysanthemums 
The varieties here listed have consistently reached 
mature blooming season here at Loveland where the 
first light frosts are expected about Sept. 21, and 
hard frosts conclude the mum season about Oct. 21. 
Chrysanthemums are resistant to light frosts. The 
Cheyenne, Wyo. Horticultural Field Station (6100 ft. 
alt.) has grown many of these varieties and introduced 
following varieties indicated as U.S. D.A. We suggest 
varieties according to altitudes as following: From 
6500 to 8000 feet—Ann Miller, Pink, Bronze and Yel- 
low Cushion, White Guil, Clara Curtis, Pygmy Gold, 
Manantico; from 5500 to 6500 feet—most any variety 
blooming in September or earlier; less than 5500 feet--— 
all varieties in this list. 
Height of plants when in bloom is stated after 
each variety. This is for comparison and will vary 
depending on location, soil, watering. Plants usually 
grow a little taller the second year.
