tAore and Better Fruits and Flowers 



WHEN JACK FROST BECOMES BOLD 



After October first, it becomes a "touch and go" between 

 frost and flowers in the temperate zone. Those flowers that 

 survive are particularly prized, regardless of kind or class. 

 Those that survive after all the rest admit defeat are most 

 highly prized. These are the 



HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS 



Lovely creations of the hybridizer's art — some large, single, 

 others semi-double, still others (especially the Pompons) 

 double to bursting, all of that spicy odor that endears the 

 "Mums" to us and many in those lovely autumn shades of 

 gold, bronze and browns that we find to be unique among 

 "Mums." We off"er: 



Thirty distinctly beautiful varieties, varying in color from 

 bright yellow to deepest bronze, from pure white to brilliant 

 pink. For complete list, please consult page 41 of our catalog. 



SPECIAL OFFER — To introduce our splendid 

 Hardy Chrysanthemums, we will send CSCS 

 twelve plants, each a different variety, for ^JL^*\J\J 



WHERE THEY DO THINGS IN A BIG WAY 



Out West they do things on bigger, broader scales than else- 

 where. Note Bessj' Boston Dahlias, Diener Glads, Morse 

 Sweet Peas, and the Delphiniums known as Vanderbilt Hy- 

 brids. Here is a new race of Giants, with stalks 6 to 7 feet 

 tall, individual flowers two inches or more in diameter. 



GLORIOUS NEW DELPHINIUMS 



The individual plants are stronger, the stalks grow taller, 

 the spikes are longer and the flowers larger. That, briefly, 

 summarizes the story of the Vanderbilt Hybrids, but it re- 

 mains to be said that last fall we brought East several hundred 

 clumps of these glorious creations. They will become the 

 ^ chief attraction of many fair 



gardens here in the East and 

 we are proud that it is to be 

 Lovett customers whose gar- 

 dens they will grace. Price, 

 each 75c.; dozen, $7.50.
