Facts Apout CHRYSANTHEMUMS. Chrysanthemums are easy to grow, but prefer a wind-sheltered, sunny spot with good drainage. 
Plant 2 to 3 ft. apart. For best results, when 8 in. high, pinch back tops about 4 of height; pinch back again at 12 to 14 in. This 
will produce more blooms and cause bushy full growth. Soak soil twice a week in hot months. When budding begins, water 
frequently to swell buds and bring out earlier blooms before frost. Potted plants are shipped when dormant supply is exhausted. 
Plant spring or fall but plant this spring for flowers this fall. Shipped Prepaid. Shipping information Page 41. Zone Map Page S51.

University of Chicago. Varieties have been tested for a number of 
years and only those that have definitely proved to be frost resistant

degree of winter plant hardiness. Keep their loveliness even after 
several nights of frost and freezing weather. You'll still be cutting 
these mums after other flowers are gone. Hardy in all zones. Highly
