Facts ABout 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 3 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 63. Zone Map Page 62.

EXTRA HARDY CHICAGO MUMS—Garden of 5 for 2.90 
These new hardier Chrysanthemums have been developed by the 
University of Chicago. Varieties have been tested for a number of 
years and only those that have definitely proved to be frost resistant 
to a high degree are chosen for introduction. They combine these 
characteristics: early blooming, frost resistant flowers, and a higher 
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 
recommended for zones 7, 8, and 9 where frost comes early.
