Our Hardy Perennials, many of which 
were grown in our Grandmother's Garden, are 
offered growing in our Cloverset Pots so that 
they can be moved to your own garden with¬ 
out disturbance of the roots and, therefore, 
without the usual set back that always fol¬ 
lows digging them from the soil in which 
they grew. 
By our modern method of growing plants 
in pots we can sell them in full bloom without 
showing any signs of wilt whatsoever. This 
new way of growing our plants in large pots 
(each plant weighs about nine pounds) insures 
not only larger and more vigorous plants, but 
also adds nine pounds of specially prepared 
heavily fertilized soil to your perennial bed, 
and as the ball of soil is planted, it insures 
the plant being placed in soil congenial to it. 
Which in itself goes a long way to insure 
success. As the weight of our plants makes 
the cost prohibitive if sent by mail we knock 
them out of the pots and shake off the soil 
in mail orders, but we strongly advise that 
where possible these plants be bought grow¬ 
ing in our pots. 
With a few exceptions (as noted) the price 
on all our Hardy Perennial plants is 25 cents 
each.

The hardy chrysanthemum is becoming in¬ 
creasingly popular for the hardy garden, and 
their general decorative value around the 
home. They are easily cared for, perfectly 
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 tops of the shoots several times 
during June, July and August, 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 ex¬ 
hibition 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 greater size. 
In the winter after blooms are all gone 
cut off the tops and cover plants with light 
covering of prairie hay or strawy manure.

mums Will Be Sent on Request
