Hardy Chrysanthemums of Various Types 

Large Greenhouse Mums 
Each year we get more requests for this type 
of Chrysanthemum, and we therefore decided to 
list some of the best varieties of different colors. 
These are not always hardy outside, particularly 
in colder sections of the country. However, 
many beautiful specimen blooms can be grown 
if they are disbudded to one to three blooms to 
a stem and protected on frosty nights with a 
cloth. Their requirements are no different from 
other Chrysanthemums; good rich garden soil 
is all they need, and full sun wherever possible. 
The varieties we have suggested are about the 
earliest to come into bloom. Most of them 
should start to bloom about the middle of 
October. 
Detroit News. Bronze. 
Garnet King. Dark red. Blooms a Iittle 
later than the others. 
Hilda Bergen. Dark reddish bronze. 
Pink Chief. Pink. 
Silver Sheen. White. 
Yellow Chief. Yellow.
