NEW HARDY 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
An added month of flowers now makes Indian 
Summer a most colorful season of Chrysanthemums 
The varieties here listed have consistently reached 
mature blooming season here at Loveland where the 
first light frosts are expected about Sept. 21, and hard 
frosts conclude the mum season about Oct. 21. Chry- 
santhemums are resistant to light frosts. The Chey- 
enne, Wyo., Horticultural Field Station (6100 ft. alt.) 
has grown many of these varieties and introduced fol- 
lowing varieties indicated as U. S. D. A. We suggest 
varieties according to altitudes as follows: From 6500 
to 8,000 feet— Ann Miller, Pink, Bronze and Yellow 
Cushion, White Gull, Pygmy Gold, Manantico; from 
5,500 to 6,500 feet—most any variety blooming in Sep- 
tember or earlier; less than 5,500 feet —all varieties 
in this list. 
Height of plants when in bloom is stated after each 
variety. This is for comparison and will vary depend- 
ing on location, soil, watering. Plants usually grow a 
little taller the second year.
