 THE LURE OF OLD FASHIONED GARDENS 



IT is not difficult to understand why Old Fashioned Hardy Perennials are again riding on the crest of the 

 wave of popularity. We presume back in the Olden Days, Old Fashioned Gardens were the vogue, 

 because they required so little attention and, like esteemed visitors, came back year after year. In 

 those days Perennials were grown more for show outdoors, for Milady delighted in taking her guests through 

 the garden and showing them her treasures, which, perhaps, some beloved ancestors had brought from the 

 Old Country. 



The trend in modern gardens is somewhat different. Home decoration demands the proper display of 

 flowers in the hall, in the living room, dining room, in short, wherever space and occasion properly permit. 

 In the carrying out of these liberal ideas of decoration by means of flowers the Old Fashioned Hardy Garden 

 is absolutely indispensable. Yielding flowers from earliest spring, when the Columbines nod their Easter 

 benediction, to the very last of fall when the hardy Chrysanthemums defy Jack Frost to do his worst, the 

 hardy perennial border becomes a never failing source of floral delights. 



LOVETT'S Complete Hardy Gardens 



We offer below, two selections of utterly dependable plants for two gardens of varying sizes, together 

 with planting plans designed to help you create pretty pictures with the help of the plants we provide. 

 Even the smaller of the two borders should prove a source of never ending delight, in the average suburban 

 garden. And, since the plants will increase in size from year to year, the investment called for will prove 

 but the beginning of a regular dividend in the form of steadily increasing plant and flower treasures. The 

 numbers serve as suggestions where the various plants may be placed in the borders.
