ANTHEMUM FIELD 
Hardy Chrysanthemums 
Hardy Chrysanthemums are among the most dependable flowers 
in the autumn garden, providing glorious color and spicy fragrance 
from early September (August with some varieties) until heavy frost. 
There are Chrysanthemums of many types, from the Cushion 
Mums for low mounds of color in borders and 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. Our list includes selected varieties from 
the University of Minnesota, University of Chicago, and Bristol col- 
lections, and from several other sources in different parts of the 
country, including some of our own introductions. 
Due to lack of space, we are listing only the most important va- 
rieties that we have. Many other sorts are available. Write us if you 
are interested in them. 
CULTURE. Chrysanthemums will grow in any good average garden 
soil which has been enriched with manure or good commercial fertilizer. 
Plant them 15 to 18 inches apart. Cultivate the soil between them, 
particularly while they are in the young stage. You can pinch the 
plants up to July 15 if they are tall and spindly. Don’t pinch any 
more after that date. Hardy Chrysanthemums do best if grown in 
fullsun. If they are planted in the shade, they will grow too tall, have 
weak stems, and produce inferior blooms.
