Hardy Chrysanthemums 
One of the best investments in perennials is the chrysanthemum. 
The huge bouquet of flowers that last so long on every plant is 
ample reward for the casual care required in pinching the new 
growth until the middle of July and an occasional watering and 
feeding. 
There are so many new varieties of chrysanthemum introduced 
each year that we are constantly screening out varieties that are 
inferior. The list below is one which we believe includes the best 
that is available in chrysanthemums. These plants are grown in 
Weston along with our extensive plantings of perennials.
