CHRYSANTHEMUMS 
Can be grown successfully outdoors. The 
plants should 1 be set out throughout June or early 
July in rich, well fertilized soil, spaced about 8 
inches either way in rows or beds. When the 
plants start growing and have reached about 10 
inches they should be given stakes so that three 
feet of the stake is out of the ground. Tie the 
plants up early therefore avoid weak and crooked 
stems. When the buds appear break out all but 
one or two. Keep all succors and other shoots 
off. Feed the plants moderately every week 
until the selected buds start to swell.

(For. Fall Bulbs see P. 8) 
Dear Friends and Patrons:— 
I take this means to thank you for 
your valued orders and kind patronage 
and sincerely hope that you have en¬ 
joyed the plants and flowers I have sent 
you, equally as well as the pleasure I 
have had in filling your orders. 
When compiling this new list of items 
for fall planting I have put forth special 
effort to list many new and improved 
varieties including a number of out¬ 
standing flowers that I know you will 
enjoy. I have not tried to offer an ex¬ 
tensive list of Holland Bulbs, being con¬ 
tent to seek out some of the best varie¬ 
ties of Tulips and Hyacinths, good, solid 
bulbs and sizes that will produce gorgeous 
flowers, making the price as reasonable 
as possible for the quality I offer. 
In order to have beautiful gardens of 
the future the time to plant is always 
now. During the fall months all items of 
perennials and hardy bulbs should be set 
out as early as possible so as to allow 
them time to become well rooted before 
heavy frosts set in. Perennials should be 
planted deeper at this time of the year 
than during the spring. The mulching 
should not be done too early. Mid- 
November to Thanksgiving is about the 
time to mulch or cover the flower beds. 
This little extra care in planting will re¬ 
pay you with a gratifying array of 
flowers that you can truly enjoy. 
Do not forget the sowing of seeds. 
Many hardy items and hardy annual 
seed may be broadcast in the garden 
during the fall and without further effort 
produce some gorgeous flowers. 
With best wishes for the success of 
your garden, I am 
Sincerely yours, 
JOHN L. LOCKARD, Prop.
