Garden Chrysanthemums 
Also known as Hardy Chrysanthemums. However, that does not 
mean that they are absolutely hardy everywhere under all conditions. 
Even here at Waynesboro we lose some of our Chrysanthemums during 
severe Winters. These garden varieties start blooming in August, con- 
tinuing until freezing weather, supplying color when the garden most 
needs it. There are many varieties, but we attempt to list only the ones 
we consider most suitable for the communities we serve. 
CUSHION MUMS 
Low growing, spreading type, especially suitable for rock gardens 
and low borders. 
*Bronze Cushion. Bronze flowers turning to a bronzy, coppery yellow. 
*Pink Cushion. Solid, compact grower. Covered with pink blossoms 
from August until frost. 
*Red Cushion. Similar habits to popular Pink Cushion but a dark red. 
*White Cushion. At opening shows a delicate pink, turning pure white 
as flowers develop. 
*Yellow Cushion. Bright glistening yellow.
