EARLY HARDY GARDEN CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
Our Early Hardy Garden Mums are a far cry from the small and late chrysanthemums one still 
sees in many gardens. Many of our modern Garden Mums have three to four inch flowers, 
and they bloom as early as August, though most of them begin to bloom about the middle of 
September, and they bloom until late fall. To grow them for long-stemmed cut flowers, 
pinch them back once to 6 inches when they are 12 inches high. Treat them according to the 
Cultural Instructions, and they wil! grow to the height given in the list. If you wish to grow 
them for landscape effect, cut them back two or three times as outlined in the Cultural 
Instructions. That keeps them down to plants about 18 inches high. 
ABBREVIATIONS: D—Double flowering; SD—Semi-double or singles with several layers of 
petals; P—Pompons, ball-like flowers from 1% inches across and up; B—Buttons, ball-like 
ee eeormees than pompons; S—Singles having one or two rows of petals, with prominent 
isk in center

(K) behind a variety means a variety introduced by Dr. E. J. Kraus, formerly of the University 
of Chicago, now at Oregon State College at Corvallis. Dr. Kraus’ 70 varieties are bred to 
withstand the cold weather of Wisconsin and Minnesota, and therefore also adapted to the 
cold winters of the Intermountain States. 
(U of N) behind the name denotes a variety bred by the University of Nebraska. These are 
very hardy chrysanthemums, the flowers are bred to withstand early frost up to 22 degrees. 
If you live in a cold climate with early frosts try some of these hardy Mums. 
Of course all Hardy Garden Mums are well adapted to our mild climate on the Pacific Coast, 
west of the Cascades and Sierras.
