Chrysanthemums in the garden border reign supreme during their season of blooming from late summer until the 
coming of killing freezes. 
Throughout the years we have accumulated a splendid assortment of the various types and varieties. The less worthy 
ones are constantly being discarded, giving place to new and approved introductions from time to time. 
Chrysanthemums are not difficult to grow but they do require a little extra care in culture. They should be planted 
on well prepared soil and away from the shade of buildings or nearby trees. A well drained location is necessary. Water 
thoroughly as needed, which should be followed by shallow stirring of the surface. It is often helpful to apply a dressing 
of some complete fertilizer about the plants after they havq started active growth. Occasional pinching back the new 
shoots until about July 1 will cause the plants, especially tallbr growing nde to develop better and to produce more 
flowers 
ie parts of the country where Mums are not definitely winter hardy it is suggested that they be protected by mulch- 
ing ain a loose litter, not too deeply. Also, the clumps may ‘be carried over winter in a coldframe under sash or, 1f such 
is not available, on the floor of a cool basement. 
| It is suggested that you place your order as early in the spring as possible and, if you wish, specify a shipping date. 
We begin our shipments to the southern states about April 1, arranging shipping schedules to the north as the season 
advances.
