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



Hardy Perennials 



Hardy Chrysantliemums 



PLUCKY LITTLE SOLDIERS OF 

 THE GARDEN 

 Strong plants, any variety, each, 25c; dozen, 

 ^2.50; lOO, ^15.00. 



Files on parade — gallant on array — row upon 

 row of these hardy little Chrysanthemums, a 

 glorious burst of color that is a delight to the 

 eyes. When the first blasts of the approaching 

 forces of winter have driven others to shelter, 

 they stand guard over the garden. They do not 

 attain the size of their regal relatives, but they 

 more than compensate for this in their range 

 of glorious colors, their hardiness and free-bloom- 

 ing characteristics. But by disbudding a plant or 

 two, many of the varieties will produce flowers 

 of very appreciable size, if fed liberally with well 

 rotted manure. The joy these plants will give 

 in flowers for table, home decoration and gar- 

 den, late in the year, will be a great treat to 

 every flower lover. See illustration page 14. 



Their culture is easiest. Plant them in any 

 good soil, 2 feet apart. When the young shoots 

 are 6 inches tall, pinch out the center of each 

 stalk, and repeat this until the middle of Au- 

 gust, when sturdy, bushy plants should have de- 

 veloped. A mulching of well decomposed cow 

 manure will result in extra sized flowers.

This variety is especially desirable, both in 

 flower and foliage. The flowers are large and 

 snow white, and the foliage is an attractive dark 

 green. In addition to these qualities, the blooms 

 appear late in September, when most summer 

 flowers have become dormant. This bloom fre- 

 quently lasts well into November. 2 to 4 feet.

This magnificent new variety is little known, 

 but it is destined to be a favorite of every 

 home gardener and nurseryman. Since its re- 

 cent importation from Korea, it has naturaHzed 

 itself with amazing hardiness. In October and 

 November, when nearly every other flower has 

 had its day, this chrysanthemum bursts forth in 

 the greatest profusion, begging to be cut. The 

 flowers are like large daisies, with claret pink 

 petals and a golden center. It is certain to be a 

 success in the home garden and to brighten the 

 fall months with just the right note of cheer. Be 

 the first in your neighborhood to have some of 

 these handsome flowers. 2 to 4 feet. Each, 75c; 

 dozen, ^7.50. Illustrated, page 15.
