He carries a stock of over a quarter of a million plants, onecustomer recently taking 120,000. He has just added thirty acres to his nursery andhas twenty-five more ready for purchase. His fruit farm at Clover Hill, five miles from Little Silver, has 166 acres in choicefruit, including 7,000 peach trees, 1,200 apples, 1,200 pears, 1,000 plums, 1,000 cherriesand 1,000 chestnuts. Here, too, some of the finest poultry of all kinds are to be seen ;squab, fanny fowls and turkeys being made a specialty, with experts in charge.

JOHN T. LOVETT Novelties and Varieties of Special Merit The prices, in all cases, are for strong, well developed plants. By mail at each and dozenrates if desired. RED, WHITE AND BLUE PHLOXES. Shown on Colored Plate. In no other genus of plants have our national colors been obtained in so definite and sosatisfactory a way as in the three varieties of Phlox Decussata or Garden Phlox, here offered.As a matter of fact, in the Hyacinthu, the Nymphxa, and the Dahlia only, do the threecolors occur. The red of both the Hyacinth and Water Lily is far from being bright andpure—the blue Dahlia is a misnomer. The Red, White and Blue Phloxes I have the pleasure to offer, rank with the veryfinest varieties of this popular and most valuable of Hardy Perennials. All have larg<:florets, large full trusses of bloom, flower early and freely, are strong, vigorous growers,and remain in bloom for a very long season, from early June until frost, if the flowers arekept cut. They will prove a revelation
