24 LOVETT'S NURSERY, LITTLE SILVER, N. J. — VEGETABLE ROOTS AND PLANTS 



Offer of Other Vegetable Roots and Herb Plants 



Table Dainties for Every Home Qarden 



Just as grandmother's "old-fashioned" flower 

 garden scored a glorious "come-back," so there is 

 noticeable a certain tendency to again entertain old 

 friends in the vegetable garden. Thyme and Mint 

 and Lavender have their manifold uses, while many 

 of the others offered below are quite as ornamental 

 as useful !

 member of the onion family, which succeeds with 

 almost no culture. The tops of grasslike leaves ap- 

 pear in early spring and can be cut repeatedly dur-
