Hardy Chrysanthemuns.

Chrysanthemums of the pOmpon type
of which each plant produces from
forty to one hundred blooms an men
or two across. are many or th9ii'
hardy enough to remain out all winter
in central and southern ATTITUDES. The
blooms often remain in good condition
until long after Thanksgiving.
These plants are the most capable OF
resisting frosts of any flowers. Their
neculiar merit is that they bloom long
after successive frosts nave dehuoeo
the Landscape. Their vivid colors are
so unlike anything else at that season
that they are Indispensable in the
carefully made garden.
The flowers are not ruined until their
petals have been wet and frozen stlff'
The plants are necessarily USED Tor
mass effects as great size is not to be
expected. Masses of red and brown side
by side make a striking combination
Crimson and pink varieties should be
kent by themselves because their
colors are variable and they make a
violent contrast with the yellow.
The culture of hardy chrysanthe-
NUNS is simple. They need little care
and can be planted in any situation, so
that the soil is rich. They are best
propagated from cuttings which
should be made at any time from
October to May. The cuttings may be
obtained from any florist. They
should be inserted singly in pots or
sandy soil and as soon as they are
rooted they should be set outdoors in
their permanent location

wife cried, gleefully. Isn't it lovely out

sion of blossoms, had picked one 1T
