Hardy chrysanthemums grown
from young plants purchased
from nurseries are quite a bar
gain when one considers the
great quantity of bloom that
they produce. But when hardy
plants can be had for much less
than a penny apiece, how can
anyone resist them.
That's what it costs to grow
your own garden NUNS from
seed. Several strains of seed are
available from leading seedmen,
none of whom promise that you
will get big four-inch. full double
blooms. For flowers like this,
you still must buy the latest
named varieties.
What you can grow from seed
makes highly satisfactory ma
terial to use for cutting or to
fill the garden with autumn color.
Some of the strains of seed
offered are Korean hybrids. and
the flowers, mostly single or
semidouble, will equal in quality
the named varieties introduced
some years ago. other strains
are mixtures and from them one
can expect to get some double
flowers as well as daisylike
singles. cushion types and inter-
mediate variations. In color,
they'll run the whole range
found in NUNS from pink. peach
and rose in many tones and
blends through the red, yellow
and autumn shades. The quality
and quantity of bloom is really
astonishing.
No Difficulty in Starting
Starting the plants from seed
presents no difficulty. After all,
in any garden containing a col
lection of NUNS, volunteer seed

early start is very essential. how

Down on the mountain slopes
the red bud was in full bloom
and leaves were beginning to
green up on the trees. But up
stairs there was nothing but
the pattern of brown trees with
snow still sticking to their north
sides.
Spring has been late up on

to pop out in the lowlands. ]

Ideners or those who can provide
shelter for their plants in the

them, but wherever there's a

1t is at this point that some
