LOVETT'S NURSERY, LITTLE SILVER, N. J.— PERENNIALS 



LATHYRUS Perennial Pea 

 LATIFOLIUS. (Everlasting 

 Pea) — A climbing plant, valuable 

 for covering trellises, stumps of 

 trees, etc. Flowers are deep rosy 

 red. 



MARY LOVETT (Pink Beauty) 



— A variety of great beauty that 

 originated at Lovett's Nursery. 

 The flowers are soft, rosy carmine. 



WHITE PEARL — A snow-white 

 variety, with flowers much larger than those 

 of the old white sort. They are produced in 

 large trusses from early July until September. 



LIATRIS. Blazing Star 



PYCNOSTACHYA (Kansas Gay Feather)— 



4 to 5 ft. Handsome and very showy; pale purple 

 flowers in tall, round, dense spikes. Prefers a dry 

 soil. 



LOBELIA 



CARDINALIS (Cardinal Flower)— 13/£ to 2 ft. 



Startling in the brilliancy of its bloom. Flowers, 

 cardinal red, are borne in dense spikes in autumn. 



LILIUM. Lily 



Among the stateliest of all hardy plants, Lilies, 

 during their respective flowering seasons, constitute 

 the chief attraction in the hardy border. Because 

 they last for years, occupying the same situation, it 

 is well to carefully prepare the bed where they are 

 to be planted. They prefer a well-drained soil. 

 Equal parts of good soil, sand, and leaf mold furnish 

 the right material for a good lily bed. 



For some reason, the impression seems to prevail 

 among many home gardeners that Lilies are difficult 

 to grow. Far from it! The varieties we offer not 

 only endure our winters perfectly, without protec- 

 tion (except L. auratum), but they actually natural- 

 ize themselves and become part of the perpetual 

 garden scheme. By planting a few of every variety 

 we offer, at least 8 weeks of Lily flowering season 

 may be enjoyed.
