Do You Know 



You can grow Roses, Chrysanthemums, Carnations, Violets, Asters 

 and many others as fine as the greenhouse product ? 



It Is Easy 



Use our select tobacco stems as a mulch. They drive away all insects and moles. 

 They contain large per cent. Ammonia and Saltpeter, causing vigorous plant growth 

 and fine foliage. If you care to have the finest lawn in town, order stems now, and 

 the spring rains will do the rest. Soak stems in water and use the liquid as a spray, it 

 is sure death to Green and Black Aphis and all insects bothering Gooseberries, 

 Currants and the Vegetable Garden. Have limited amount in Bales, which we offer 

 at the extremely low prices while they last, as follows : 



250 lbs. - $2.50 1000 lbs. - $ 8.50 



500 " - 4.50 2000 " - 15.00 



Remember you do not get any weeds in lawn or garden by using our stems.

HOLLYHOCKS 



EVERYBODY should have Hollyhocks. 

 Not those with small dull-hued, imper- 

 fect blossoms, but the improved kind 

 with large, perfect, exceedingly double 

 bright colored flowers. Though not gener- 

 ally known, there has been as great im- 

 provement made in this stately flower dur- 

 ing the past 25 years, as there has in the 

 Canna, Chrysanthemum, Dahlia or Carna- 

 tion. The flowers of 



Lovett's 

 Superb Hollyhocks 



are not only very large, wonderfully per- 

 fect in finish 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." Strong roots, 

 which will flower early the first season, by 

 mail,

 of 70 pages, gives accurate descriptions of over i,ooo varieties of select Hardy Perennials, 

 Shrubs, Vines, etc., and much valuable information about these beautiful and interesting flowers. 

 It is freely mailed to all who ask for it.

 Mr. J. H. Troy, 

 Mount Hissarlik Nurseries, 

 New Rochelle, N. Y. 

 Dear Sir: The consign- 

 ment of roses received from 

 you last Spring was the most 

 satisfactory I have ever 

 handled. Out of 2,600 

 plants only ten were lost. 

 That I succeeded in win- 

 ning the Silver Cup of the 

 Nassau County Horticul- 

 tural Society for the best 

 collection of hardy out-door 

 roses, November 1st, 1906, 

 speaks volumes for the ex- 

 cellent quality of plants you 

 furnish. 



Yours truly,
