LANDSCAPING WITH CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
Chrysanthemums are grown for the Show, and are well-known and long-lasting cutflowers, but 
they are little known for the effect in landscaping the Fall Garden. Therefore if you have never 
used our modern Early Garden Chrysanthemums for landscape effect, you have missed much enjoy- 
ment you could have derived from your Fall Garden. By the use of the Hardy Garden Chrysanthe- 
mums you can transform the drab annual beds in fall into a riot of color reminding you of the 
colorfulness of azaleas in your Spring Garden. Imagine a border of white or yellow chrysanthemums 
as a border of your annual bed and behind them a row or two of red, or pink, or buff, or purple 
chrysanthemums, or that flower bed in your lawn with a white chrysanthemum Lorder and rows of 
other colored chrysanthemums in the center, either of solid colors, or a mixture of colors. What a 
riot of color this would create, what a thing of beauty to behold, what an attraction to the passerby. 
Hardy Garden Chrysanthemums may also be used in window boxes, in beds along pathways and 
steps, in the rockery, in pots on the patio and so on. By this you can lengthen the usefulness and 
colorfulness of your Fall Garden by from four to six weeks. 
HOW TO ACCOMPLISH THIS? Select the colors you like or that fit into the color scheme that 
you wish for your Fall Garden. Order the rooted cuttings at your earliest convenience and plant 
them into some sunny spot in your vegetable garden or any other out-of-the-way spot. Plant them 
two feet apart and grow them as shown in our Cultural Instructions. Cut them back twice to three 
times to get nice 18-inch high round bushes. By the time they show color or bloom, the annual 
beds, etc., are looking drab. Then transplant these flowering plants into the designated spots, water 
them once or twice, and they keep on growing as if nothing has happened, and presto, you right 
away have a riot of color where only a short time ago drabness and gloom were prevalent. 
When the chrysanthemums are through blooming you either put them back into that spare bed 
where they were grown during the summer, or into a cold frame, to be planted into another sunny 
spot next spring. See our Cultural Instructions on how to treat them ever after.
