Vegetable Roots and Garden Herbs 



The returning popularity of the Herb Garden 

 is indicated by the many recent magazine articles 

 on this garden feature. Sage Tea may be a thing of 

 the past, but Mint Sauce is just as piquant as ever, 

 and Sage plants and ]\Iint plants are just as pretty 

 and most interesting. Thyme and Lavender need 

 no introduction to any of us; and Chives and Hops 

 have uses of their own. Both are a distinct addition 

 to any garden from an ornamental as well as a use- 

 ful standpoint.

 soups, etc. Plant is a hardy perennial, but may be 

 "lifted," planted in a box, and placed in a window

The Fruit Garden 



Fruit gardens are too much neglected in these days of Fords and garages and small subdivision plots; 

 but there are more things to be said about the fruit tree than fruit. Even though no spraj'ing is done as 

 it ought to be, or care taken of the trees, the fruit they produce will manj^ times repay for their original 

 cost. Besides this you have the spring flowering season whose glory is surpassed by few of the strictly 

 ornamental plants; and fruit trees produce shade as efficienth^ as anj' tree planted for that piupose 

 alone. 



Xo fruit is enjoyed like yom own; none tastes so good; of none do you have enough! Plant fruits for 

 the coming years. / 



The Lovett Apple — Best by Test 



Wliile no orchard should consist of one variety, 

 the home gardener may well plant a summer apple 

 because the market at that time of the year lacks 

 the "apple-pie makin's" which the fall and winter 

 markets offer. We therefore recommend summer 

 apples for the home garden, and especially The 

 Lovett Apple. 



For the orchardist, there must be some summer 

 varieties to supply the roadside and nearby 

 markets. 



A dozen years' tests, taking into consideration, 

 differences of soil, season and climate, have indi- 

 cated The Lovett Apple as the most prolific summer 

 apple in cultivation. Along with the desirable 

 quality of large production, it combines an ex- 

 ceedingly attractive bright red color with a texture 

 of flesh and an aromatic flavor that is second to 

 none. 



Ripens in August, producing a great abundance of 

 exceedingh' handsome apples above the average 

 size. Price, each, $1.50; dozen, $15.00. 



Our fruit trees are far too large sized to be 

 shipped parcel post. Small lots go b}^ express; 

 larger quantities are carefully packed and per- 

 fectly safe by freight.
