THE CLOVERSET NURSERY 
Many acres in our Nursery are devoted 
to the growing of beautiful Evergreens, 
fruit trees, shade trees, vines, and shrubs 
of all varieties that do well with us here. 
While we specialize in Roses, we are able 
to take care of your Landscape problems. 
All Cloverset Evergreens and shrubs are 
growing naturally in our nursery. They 
are given plenty of space and room, are 
regularly sheared and cultivated and are 
dug after being selected by the customer. 
After digging, they are immediately de¬ 
livered or planted, which insures fresh 
stock with no danger of loss if properly 
taken care of. 
Prices are based on the size, shape and 
beauty of the stock and are in keeping 
with the quality. 
HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
The hardy chrysanthemum is becoming 
increasingly popular for the hardy garden, 
and their general decorative value around 
the home. They are easily cared for, per¬ 
fectly hardy, and planted in a protected 
location they will bloom late into the fall 
when all other plants are asleep for the 
winter. 
Plant Mums in a rich, well drained soil, 
protected from the north if possible and 
where they will get at least one half day 
sunlight. Pinch off the top of the shoots 
several times during June, July and Au¬ 
gust, to make the plants bushy, and as they 
grow larger stake to prevent falling over. 
At their blooming period a good dressing 
of Cloverset Rose Grower will make larger 
blooms. 
For those who care to take the trouble 
exhibition flowers may be produced on 
the hardy mums by disbudding. As soon 
as buds set, pinch from each shoot or stem 
all but the topmost bud. The result will be 
fewer flowers, of course, but of much great¬ 
er size. 
In the winter after blooms are all gone 
cut off the tops and cover plants with ligh" 
covering of prarie hay or strawy manure 
We offer the following varieties all of 
which have been very popular with our 
customers here at Cloverset. The prices 
quoted are for dormant plants in early 
spring. Later in the blooming season they 
may be had growing in Cloverset pots in 
bloom for 50 cents each.
