LOVETT'S NURSERY, LITTLE SILVER, N.J.— HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS 39 



HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS 



When all outdoors assumes drab and dreary hues, when Jack Frost has raised havoc with 

 all tender and most hardy vegetation, then it is that the hardy 'Mums come into their own. It 

 takes October frosts to mature the buds and a brisk November breeze to open them. The glory 

 of a bed of hard}^ 'Mums is like the reflection of autumn leaves, sunset scenes and rose tints. 



Their culture is easiest: plant them into 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 middle of August, when 

 sturdy, bushy plants should have developed. A mulching with well-decomposed cow manure 

 will be productive of extra-sized flowers in unusual quantities. 



After twenty years of study, we consider the following best for outdoor planting.
