LOVETT'S NURSERY, LITTLE SILVER, N. J.— HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS 41 



The Choicest Of 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 buds and a brisk November breeze to open them. The glory of a bed of hardy 'Mums is like the 

 reflection of autumn 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 the 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.
