LOVETT'S NURSERY, LITTLE SILVER, N. J. 



Hardy Perennials 



All varieties (unless otherwise noted), each, 20c; dozen, ^2.00; 100, ^14.00. 



FOR years we have made a specialty 

 of the propagation of hardy per- 

 ennial plants, familiarly known as 

 "Old-fashioned, hardy, garden plants," 

 until our assortment has become one 

 of the largest and most complete in 

 the country. During the past few years 

 these hardy plants have come into 

 public favor so rapidly as to astonish 

 even the most enthusiastic lovers of 

 these gems of the garden. It is not 

 surprising that they are so popular 

 when we consider so many changes 

 which take place throughout the entire 

 growing season in a well arranged bor- 

 der, in which every week and almost 

 every day brings forth something new 

 and fresh. 



The weight of Hardy Perennial 

 plants varies greatly. However, in the 

 table on inside back cover page the 

 average weight of these plants will be 

 found, from which patrons who wish 

 shipment by mail can determine the 

 amount to remit for postage.
