mums, slmost every hue and color, except blue, are covered in these new 
early varieties which have been developed during the past few years. These 
flowers still bloom after the frost has cut down almost everything else, 
and give a brilliance to the fall season an olden time fairy might have made 
with an enchanted wand. If you want color and beauty and wish to enchant 
your neighborhood grow Hardy Chrysanthemums in a colorful array around your 
home, We will try to tell you how to have a garden of Miums year after year 
at a very low cost, 
There are a few rules which govern the growing of Hardy Chrysanthemums, 
1, wach year Hardy Chrysanthemums should be divided into single plants, 
This is done about May 10th in the latitude of Columbus, Ohio, Further north 
it will be somewhat later and further south earlier, The old mum plant 
sends out runners under the soil that come up all around the old plant. 
These are the single plants that must be separated from the old plant, Rea- 
sons: (A) So many plants growing so close together will need more food and 
space than is afforded by the space these new plants are growing in. (B) If 
there is any disease in the old plant it may be carried over into new plants 
if they are not divided and moved. (C) Plants do not get enough air grow- 
ing so close together and the foliage turns brown, the stems become hard 
and do not take up the nourishment needed for a good plant. 
2. Plants should be grown where they can get plenty of sunlight and 
air all about them, Plants will not do well close to a house, trees or 
evergreens where they are partly shaded and do not get sufficient air and 
sunshine to grow properly. Therefore, we suggest the following if you want 
them to bloom in these locations. Plant your plants in a spot in the garden 
where they can get air and sunshine, preferably in rows where they can be 
cultivated, then when they are in bud in the fall lift them with a clump of 
earth attached to the roots and plant them around your evergreens, in front 
of your home, along the drive, along the walk, aiong the fence, under the 
trees--everywhere you want a spot of beauty, Leave them bloom in these 
spots, Leave them until spring then divide in May into single plants and 
plant them back in your garden again. You will have plenty of plants to 
make your home beautiful, Help make your neighborhood the beauty spot of 
the towns
