LOVETTS NURSERY, LITTLE SILVER, N. J.— HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS 43 



The Choicest 

 Among 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 hardy 'Mums is like the reflection of au- 

 tumn 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 result in extra-sized flowers in unusual quantities.
