The Rewards of Gardening 


Garden rewards, as we see them, come in three distinct forms. First, there is the 
satisfaction of time well spent in endeavors to help Nature to do her utmost. 
£ ‘\ Second, there comes the joy of seeing one’s efforts bear results in the form of 


luscious fruits and beautiful flowers. Last, but not least, we experience the ex- 
hilarating reaction to that great ‘something’ which digging in the soil gives us, 


that indefinable element which reacts on 
mind and body and causes us to feel the 
better for having worked with Nature. 


Gardening for Health 
and Happiness 


More and more the garden is becoming 
recognized as a factor in promoting the 
nation’s health and happiness. The exact- 
ing demands of our modern civilization 
leave their mark. There is no surer, no 
happier way to eliminate such marks than 
to find relief and relaxation in one’s own 
garden. 


Plan Your Garden Wisely 


The purpose of this catalog is to help 
you plan wisely and to assist you in the 
carrying out of your plans. The merchan- 
dise it offers is such as will hold out great 
promise in the way of utmost garden re- 
wards. Over half a century of service 
along these lines has won us thousands 
of loyal customers. We will do our utmost 
to deserve continued confidence. 


Our Terms of Sale—Please Read Carefully 


Special Notice—The greatest care is exercised to keep our stock clean and true to name. Should any prove otherwise, we will return 
the money paid or replace it with other stock, but we are not liable for damage beyond that. A sure indication of the purity of our 
stock is the fact that customers of former years continue to deal with us. Certificate of inspection is attached to each shipment. 


HOW TO ORDER. To insure receipt of stock when wanted, order 
as early as possible. Be sure that your name and address are 
clearly written. In your address give postoffice, county and state, 
and state clearly to what point goods are to be sent. If shipping 
address is different than residence postoffice, be sure that you 
give us the correct shipping point. Small favors thankfully re- 
ceived always, but we cannot undertake to fill an order of less 
amount than one dollar. 


SUBSTITUTION. It is our custom, should the supply of a variety 
become exhausted (which occasionally occurs in all nurseries), 
to substitute in its stead a similar sort, properly labeled, of course. 
When it is desired that we shall not do this, it must be so stated 
in the order. To simply affix the words “No Substitution” is all 
that is necessary. 

SHIPPING. We deliver all goods to forwarders here without 
charge, after which our control ceases, consequently our respon- 
sibility also. We particularly caution patrons against ordering 
Perennial Plants and Strawberry Plants shipped by freight; they 
should always go by express, or in small lots by mail. Trans- 
portation charges on all goods shipped by freight or express are 
to be paid by the purchaser, unless arranged otherwise. 

SHIPMENTS BY PARCEL POST. Many plants offered can be 
shipped to advantage by parcel post, especially to nearby points. 
If such method of shipment is desired, kindly consult the sub- 
heading of the desired article for cost of transportation. Any 
overpayment will be refunded by us immediately after shipment 
goes forward. 


Western Union Telegraph—Red Bank, N. J. 


TERMS. Payment should be made at time of ordering or before 


shipment. We prefer to make no shipment C.O.D. but will, when 
requested, ship in this way, provided 25 per cent of the amount 
of an order is sent with the order, with return charges added. 
Please do not ask us to open accounts for less than $10.00 orders. 


Prices in this catalog cancel previous quotations. The prices 
quoted are for the quantities specified, but six, fifty or five hun- 
dred of a variety will be supplied at dozen, hundred and thou- 
sand rates, respectively. Hundred lots may not be made up at 
hundred rates for less than fifty of a variety. 


CLAIMS, if any, should be made upon receipt of goods, when they 


will be carefully and cheerfully examined and, if just, all made 
satisfactory. Claims made after 15 days from receipt of goods 
will not be entertained. We endeavor to send out only good 
stock in good condition, carefully packed in all cases; but suc- 
cess or failure depends in so large a degree upon the care and 
management after received, that we do not, because we cannot, 
undertake to guarantee stock to live.

HARDY ROSES 
Beyoud question, Americas 


Roses are beyond all question the most beautiful 
of the garden flowers. Our list is complete in its 
range of color, and includes the very best of the 
modern sorts, as well as the most popular of the 
older varieties. 


We especially recommend our Collection of 
Hybrid Tea Roses (see inside front cover). 


Hardy Everblooming 
or Hybrid Tea Roses 


These are the most popular of all Roses, pro- 
ducing their perfect flowers from early summer 
until late fall. We have increased our list this year, 
and all of our plants are trimmed back so that they 
will provide a maximum of success. 


Although hardy, these Roses do best if given 
some protection in winter. Simply heap soil to a 
height of 8 inches about each plant in late fall, 
leveling same off, of course, in early spring.

Plant in rich, well-drained soil, always in full sun- 
light. Space about 2 feet apart.

grown plants, bound to produce a splendid display of 
bloom next summer, and for many succeeding sum- 
mers.

PATENTED Everblooming or Hybrid Tea Roses 


We have the honor to list below some of the lovely sorts which were 
deemed worthy and different enough to be granted United States Plant 
Patents. If you procure some this spring, you will discover yourself to 
be the proud possessor of Roses which are, in many instances, miles 


ahead of the old familiar sorts.

rant, are produced in abundance by this popular sort.

ers, ever-changing in their diffusion of coppery bronze 


and pink shadings. Each $1.00, doz. $10.00. 


PLANTING AND CULTURE OF ROSES 


All Roses except climbers should be pruned severely in the spring. 
They bloom on the new season's wood, so old wood should be cut 
back one-half or more and ali weak shoots cut out. Be sure to plant 
with union of root and stock at least three inches below the surface of the 
ground. Roses like clay or a medium heavy soil. 


SELECT AND PREPARE ROSE BEDS WITH CARE 
The Rose bed should be placed where it will have plenty of sunshine. 
See that it is in a well drained position. Prepare the bed by deep spading. 
Three feet is not too deep. This will allow for a layer of stones to help 
drainage if needed. Fill the bed with alternate layers 
of dirt and well-rotted monure, which should be thor- 
oughly mixed and allowed to settle.

plant in the early seventies, this sturdy 
shrub with its glossy green leaves is now 
more popular for ornamental hedges than 
is any other sort. Its strong, quick, up-

for being grown as a barrier or to hide 
unsightly objects. Here at Little Silver,

THE LURE OF 
OLD-FASHIONED GARDENS 


ii is not difficult to understand why Old-Fashioned Hardy Perennials 
are again riding on the crest of the wave of popularity. We pre- 
sume back in the olden days, old-fashioned gardens were the 
vogue, because they required so little attention and, like esteemed 
visitors, came back year after year. In those days perennials were 
grown more ior show outdoors, for Milady delighted in taking her 
guesis through the garden and showing them her treasures, which, 
perhaps, some beloved ancestors had brought from the Old Country. 


The trend in modern gardens is somewhat different. Home decora- 
tion demands the proper display of flowers in the hall, in the living 
room, dining room, in short, wherever space and occasion properly 
permit. In the carrying out of these liberal ideas of decoration by 
means of flowers the Old-Fashioned Hardy Garden is absolutely indis- 
pensable. Yielding flowers from earliest spring, when the Columbines 
nod their Easter benediction, to the very last of fall when the hardy 
Chrysanthemums defy Jack Frost to do his worst, the hardy perennial 
border becomes a never failing source of floral delight. 


LOVETT’S 
Complete Hardy Gardens 


We offer here, two selections of utter- 
ly dependable plants for two gardens of 
varying sizes, together with planting 
plans designed to help you create pretty 
Pictures with the help of the plants we 
provide. Even the smaller of the two 
borders should prove a source of never 
ending delight, in the average suburban 
garden. And, since the plants will in- 
crease in size from year to year, the in- 
vestment called for will prove but the 
beginning of a regular dividend in the 
form of steadily increasing plant and 
flower treasures. The numbers serve as 
suggestions where the various plants 
may be placed in the borders. 


Here is your chance to have a beau- 
tiful Hardy Flower Garden from early 
spring until late fall at an amazingly 
low cost.

the vines may be set 8 feet apart each way, 
though in limited space, the rows can be as 
close as 4 feet apart with the vines 8 feet 
apart in the rows. After the first year’s 
growth, each vine should be reduced to 
three strong branches, 18 to 24 inches long. 
After that, each season's growth should be 
pruned back, leaving only the strongest 
branches, bearing3to4buds or ‘’eyes”’ each.

Culture. In the family garden, the roots should

feet apart. They should be placed in furrows six 
or eight inches deep, but covered with only about 
three inches of soil at time of planting, the re- 
mainder of the trench being filled in by degrees as 
the plants increase in height. Care should be 
taken to enrich the soil by a liberal digging in of 
well-rotted manure. 

WASHINGTON 

Because Washington is unquestionably by far 
the best and most delicious of all varieties, we 
have discontinued growing the others. The out- 
standing characteristics of the new variety are: 
Exceptional rust-resistance, extraordinary yielding 
qualities, large size of individual stalks, and their 
rapid development to cutting size, which rapid 
growth stands for tenderness. The shoots are 
straight, of dark green color, with a heavy purple 
overtone. They are always tight and do not open 
until well above the ground. 1 yr., doz. 30c, 100 
$1.25, 1000 $9.00. 2 yrs., doz. 40c, 100 $1.50, 1000

1000 $20.00.

purple-blue flowers from May until frost. Excellent for a bank 
or wall. Each 30c, doz. $3.00.

to soups and seasoning. Each 20c, doz. $2.00, 100 $12.00. 

Hops. Bears large clusters of yellow-green hops in such profusion 
as to completely envelop the plant in late summer. Each 25c, 
doz. $2.50, 100 $15.00. 

Horseradish. A familiar and tasty condiment 
which is easily grown in any garden. Doz. 50c, 
100 $2.50, 1000 $20.00. 

Lavender. The old favorite with its pleasant odor. 
Strong plants, each 25c, doz. $2.50, 100 $15.00. 

Spearmint. Splendid for seasoning. This is the 
plant whose leaves add charm to the mint julep.

Peppermint. Used largely for cooking but may be 
chewed raw. Strong plants, each 25c, doz.

all Rhubarbs, with its large tender stems, de- 
lightful distinctive flavor, earlier in the season 
than most other sorts. Each 20c, doz. $2.00, 100 
$12.00.

Giant Cultivated BLUEBERRIES 
A Profitable 


Commercial Fruit 
and a Truly Lovely Ornamental 


Among the most satisfactory of all garden fruits, Blueberries 
are delicious when eaten with cream or when cooked. We are 
proud of our list this season, which we feel comprises all of the 
best varieties for a maximum of success. 


For best results, plant in slightly moist soil, and more acid 
than alkaline—any soil, in fact, that would be suitable for the 
culture of vegetables or strawberries. 


It is essential that plants of two or more varieties be planted, 
otherwise, no fruit of consequence will be produced. 


of big, delicious blue fruit on a particu- 
larly attractive, high-branched bush. 


Concord. 7 ft. This splendid new sort 
ripens with Pioneer. It bears large fruit 
of good color, with excellent flavor, and 
the berries hang on the bush long after 
ripening. 

Jersey. 7 ft. Large, well-flavored berries; 
attractive in appearance, and particularly 
good for shipping. Ripens with Rubel. 


Pioneer. 6 ft. Ripens after Cabot, with 
great spikes of flattish, very blue berries, 
unsurpassable in quality. 

Rancocas. 7 to 8 ft. An excellent commer- 
cial variety because of its wealth of tasty 
berries. Ripens just before Rubel. 

Rubel. 7 to 8 ft. Latest and heaviest bear- 
ing of all, on an upright bush. Best va- 
riety for canning.
