Hardy Chrysanthemums 
In the season’s flower parade, the Chrysanthemums march as a major section. 
They are the outstanding 
glory of the late Summer and Fall garden. For Spring planting we supply pot-grown stock which will bloom 
the following Fall; and of our thirty or more varieties we suggest the following as especially pleasing.

Cultural Instructions 
for Growing 
GORGEOUS MUMS 
Chrysanthemums grow best in light 
fertile soil. Do not plant in locations 
where water stands in puddles as this 
will rot the crowns of the plants. 
Pinch back the tops as late as July 1st 
to permit the plant to develop good 
stocky growth without becoming 
leggy. Water copiously during the 
blooming season. Fertilize gener- 
ously at least twice a year. 
Since Chrysanthemums are very 
shallow rooted, it is necessary to pro- 
vide some Winter covering in central 
and northern New England. When 
the ground has frozen, cover the 
plants with a layer of salt marsh hay. 
Do not use heavy covering material 
as it will tend to rot the shoots which 
will come up in the Spring. 
Chrysanthemums may be trans- 
planted even while in bloom if they 
are watered thoroughly after moving. 
If these cultural instructions are fol- 
lowed, your Chrysanthemums will be 
a joy to behold.
