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



FROST BRINGS THE "PEP" THAT 

 CAUSES 'MUMS TO BE AT THEIR 

 BEST 



The Choicest of Hardy 



CHRYSANTHEMUMS 



Strong plants, any variety, each 25c.; 

 dozen $2.50; 100 $15.00 



npmS does not concern itself with those magnificent cre- 

 ations that dominate the 'Mum Shows. Rather would 

 we here sing the praise of those spicy little fellows that carry 

 on outdoors, when all the rest of the flowers have retired for 

 their winter's rest. It is the hardy Chrysanthemum of the 

 various types and varieties as offered below, that provides 

 our table with floral decorations clear up to Thanksgivi^ng", 

 By feeding the plants liberally with well-rotted manure 

 and by occasionally disbudding a plant or two (as you 

 would Dahlias), many of the varieties offered produced 

 flowers of very commendable size. 



Their culture is easiest : Plant them in 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 haye 

 developed. A mulching with well-decomposed cow manure 

 will result in extra-sized flowers in unusual quantities.

 rich bronzy orange-yellow. Very free-flow- 

 ering.

 of an even shade of bronze.
