Quality Vegetables 



If a vegetable lacks quality, no 

 matter how prolific it is, or how 

 beautiful to the eye, it should have 

 no place in the family garden. The 

 varieties of vegetables that are 

 most profitable for the market gar- 

 dener are not always the most sat- 

 isfactory for the amateur. 



~JW Dreer's

The Earliest Tomato Grown 



Ri ck a r d s Brothers 



EXTRA EARLY 



ONE of our many striking novelties this year is a tomato 

 that is at least 10 days earlier than any other tomato 

 grown. Besides its earliness it is a fine, smooth, medium 

 size tomato — a delicious variety for the table. Every one 

 who prides himself on the showing of his garden should 

 plant it.

Hollyhocks 



EVERYBODY should have Hollyhocks. Not 

 those with small, dull hued, imperfect blossoms, 

 but the improved kind, with large, perfect, ex- 

 ceedingly double, bright colored flowers (each one a 

 veritable rosette) — crimson, maroon, rose, salmon, 

 yellow, snow white, etc. Though not generally 

 known, there has been as great improvement made in 

 this stately flower, duringthe past 25 years, as there has 

 in the Canna, Dahlia, Chrysanthemum or Carnation. 



Lovett's Superb Hollyhocks 



will doubtless prove a revelation to thousands. The 

 flowers are not only very large, wonderfully perfect in 

 make-up and pure in color, but they are produced in 

 far greater numbers and for a much longer season than 

 the Hollyhocks of "Grandmother's Garden" — inter- 

 esting and attractive as they were. In my catalog of 

 Hardy Perennial Plants the above are illustrated and 

 described, with prices of plants, together with more 

 than one thousand varieties of other beautiful hardy 

 flowers. 



Nothing for the cost gives such an air of refinement 

 and adds so much cheer to the country home grounds, 

 rendering them attractive and interesting from early 

 spring until late autumn, as Hardy Perennials; yield- 

 ing, as they do, a wealth of flowers of an almost end- 

 less variety of form and color — not only during the year 

 planted, but for many years — from a single planting. 



My catalog of Hardy Perennial Plants is a profusely 

 illustrated and beautifully printed book of seventy 

 pages; its descriptions are accurate and it is replete with information of value 

 to all who are interested in flowers. Mailed free for the asking.
