LOVETTS NURSERY, LITTLE SILVER, N. J.— HARDY PLANTS 



Your 



Heart s Desire 



There is no woman living (among our readers, at least) who at one time or an- 

 ^ other has not had the desire for a garden "like Grandmother used to have" — where 

 as a child she loved to gather Daisies and Columbines and — just before Pumpkin pie time, 

 around Thanksgiving — the lovely hardy Chrysanthemums. 

 The inherent love of flowers is strong within all of us and the desire to be able to go out into the 

 garden and pick generous bouquets is largely responsible for the strong comeback of the old-fashioned 

 hardy garden. No other type of flower is as eminently satisfactory as the old-fashioned hardy perennial, 

 since it thrives and grows larger year after year without fussing or petting other than to receive the ordinary 

 cultivation that should be given any plant in the garden. 



Lovett's Complete Hardy Qarden for $5.00 



By way of encouraging the planting of more old-fashioned gardens we have made it a custom to offer 

 a special selection of hardy favorites at a popular price. In its entirety, the selection offered below repre- 

 sents the greatest value in hardy plants ever offered. The assortment covers the blooming season from 

 early to late and will give the buyer greatest satisfaction from year to year.
