HARDY GARDEN CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
CHRYSANTHEMUM (Kris-an’-the-mum) 
Chrysanthemums have no equal as cut flowers. The early sorts will give good blooms by the first of July and by a judicial 
choice of types you may have bloom until actual freezing weather. Many sorts are impervious to light frosts. Give plenty of moisture 
in full sun and fertilize heavily. Three or 4 inches of barnyard manure should be spaded into the soil before planting is done. A 
handful of bone meal may be put in the bottom of the hole when plant is set out. A monthly feeding of some good commercial 
fertilizer will give exhibition blooms. A liberal feeding of superphosphate in July and again in August will hasten the blooming 
period. 
WINTER PROTECTION—The best winter protection is nature’s own. In other words their own tops. Never cut the old plants 
down in the fall. If further protection is desired use excelsior or evergreen boughs. Never use leaves, straw or other material that 
will smother the young new growth. 
NEW EARLY FLOWERING ENGLISH 
CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
To those who aspire to grow large flowered Chrysanthe- 
mums, the English varieties are the answer. If disbudded 
and properly fed, this strain will produce flowers from 5” 
to 6” across or more. If not disbudded, they will still be 
larger than any other garden varieties. They also have the 
habit of early blooming which makes them doubly valuable. 
Without reservation, the English sorts are the elite of out- 
door Chrysanthemums.
