Question: What mums do you recommend for this locality? We are at an elevation of 3,500 feet; earliest frost comes about September; winters are seldom colder than 10 degrees above zero. DK, El Dorado, Cal.

Answer: Where killing frost comes early, the cushion-type chrysanthemums (low growing and very profuse bloomers) are likely to be the most satisfactory as they start to flower early. Check online for the current varieties are recommended.
