Nature Plants Her Seeds in the Fall 



we who imitate her save a season 



Time and Patience Result in Satisfaction. 



Plants are bought not for what they are but for 

 what they will produce for you. Careful planting, 

 some attention, and time and patience will result 

 in a home of which you will be proud. 



Nature plants her seeds in the fall. During the A^dnter they absorb moisture. In the warm daj's of 

 earl}' spring, the seed coats split, the roots push out, and the rootlets begin to form. Before we are 

 able to begin digging with our clumsy tools, Nature's plantings are ''on their way." Old established 

 plants, just like those we plant in the fall, are dormant during the winter, with the roots and rootlets 

 hardened to conserve moisture. 



When the warm days of spring come, just as wdth the seeds, the rootlets put out root-hairs in search 

 of moisture to bring the apparentl}- dead plant to life. Our fall planted shrubs and trees, then, leaf and 

 bud with those that have been long established, a month, two months ahead of those which are planted 

 during the spring season — an advantage which the latter never overtake. Fall j^lanted plants are 

 therefore a Season Ahead. 



Long experience of men whose business and livelihood depends on handling plants, the nurserymen, 

 confirms this, for they all make large plantings in the fall of the year. The plants which are listed in this 

 catalogue are there because our long years of experience with them indicates that they are readil}^ and 

 successfully planted during the fall of the year. 



Another advantage which might be offered for fall plantings is the fact that there is a better selection 

 to choose from in the fall, when the nurseryman's "crop" has just been harvested. Again, the weather in 

 the fall is more pleasant, and the soil is in better condition throughout most of the fall than is the case 

 during the spring. 



Lovett's Nursery heartily recommends for fall planting the varieties offered in the following pages; 

 and wishes you success with your plantings!
