Hardy Chrysanthemums 
These Chrysanthemums are a wonderful addition to the 
flower garden, adding a lot of color after most other 
flowers are through. 
Chrysanthemums require a good, fairly rich soil for 
best results; they need additional fertilizing later in the 
season, about the time buds begin to appear. 
While some kinds will winter better than others in our 
locality, they should be protected with a good covering 
of leaves or coarse hay in about the same manner as most 
perennials. 
Varieties marked with a * were developed by the 
University of Minnesota.
