Carroll Gardens 
FINEST HARDY 
MUMS 
Hardy Chrysanthemums are among the 
most dependable flowers in the autumn garden, 
providing glorious color and spicy fragrance 
from early September (August with some va- 
rieties) until heavy frost. 
There are Chrysanthemums of many types, 
from the Cushion Mums for low mounds of 
color in borders and rock gardens, to the 
long-stemmed kinds for cutting. 
We feel that we have one of America’s finest 
and most up-to-date Chrysanthemum collec- 
tions. Our list includes selected varieties from 
the University of Minnesota, University of 
Chicago, and Bristol collections, and from 
several other sources in different parts of the 
country, including some of our own introduc- 
tions and the new imported Super Giant 
English varieties. 
Due to lack of space, we are listing only the 
most Important varieties that we have. Many 
other sorts are available. Write us if you are 
interested in them. 
Chrysanthemums will grow in 
any good average garden soil which has been 
enriched with manure or good commercial 
fertilizer. Plant them 15 to 18 inches apart. 
Cultivate the soil between them, particularly 
while they are in the young stage. You can 
pinch the plants up to July 15 if they are tall 
and spindly. Don’t pinch any more after that 
date. Hardy Chrysanthemums do best if 
grown in full sun. If they are planted in the 
shade, they will grow too tall, have weak 
stems, and produce inferior blooms.
