Plant Pine-Croft’s New Early 
Hardy Chrysanthemums 
BRILLIANT COLORS FOR LATE SUMMER AND FALL 
GARDENS 
No garden is complete without our new early hardy chry- 
santhemums. Here in southern New Hampshire we have 
varieties in bloom for over 12 weeks — from about August 10 
until well into November. For your convenience we are listing 
varieties by color and in order of blooming. Include some of 
these fine early varieties to insure a long blooming season. 
We have made careful selections from the nation’s leading hy- 
bridizers. 
Our chrysanthemums serve many purposes, they give a 
wealth of cut flowers, make gorgeous perennial gardens with 
the variety of size (8’’-40’), and colors and forms; make ex- 
cellent pot plants, and the cushion types make beautiful 
blooming hedges. 
Each year we start many plants by rooting cuttings in the 
green house and transferring them into 24” bands. We offer 
these as “pot” plants which can be set out about the time you 
set tomato plants. We also offer field divisions which are 
taken from plants that have wintered over outside. The old 
portion of the plant is thrown away and a large enough new 
section is taken to produce a fine blooming plant later this 
year. These have two advantages, namely that they ship well 
and that they can be planted early while the weather is cool. 
The varieties we list are available as rooted cuttings, pot 
plants, field divisions, and field clumps. Prices in right col- 
umn are for field divisions except as noted (items marked* are 
priced and available only as pot plants and after late May as 
field transplants. All are guaranteed to give you satisfactory 
performance this year.
