30 LOVETT'S NURSERY, LITTLE SILVER, N, J.— SHRUBS AND TREES 



Choice Deciduous and Evergreen Shrubs and Dwarf Trees 



As the slogan of the American Association of Nurserymen aptly puts it — "It's not a Home until 

 it's planted." The proper utilization of ornamental shrubs and trees adds mightily to the attrac- 

 tiveness of the home surroundings. The classes and varieties recommended in the following pages 

 lend themselves ideally to beautifying the suburban or country estate grounds. 



Within the limitations of this chapter we have intentionally confined our recommendations to 

 such species and classes as are easily packed and shipped. We handle other varieties, however, 

 and should the reader be in search of something not offered in these pages, an inquiry will be 

 appreciated. 



The prices quoted are for well-developed, stocky plants. A dozen of any variety will be sup- 

 plied for ten times the price of one (six for five times the price of one), but this dozen rate may 

 be used only w-hen six or more of one variety are taken. The hundred rate of any variety will 

 be promptly sent if desired. We solicit an opportunity to give special quotations ujH>n lists of 

 Shrubs and Ornamental Trees for landscape planting. Shipment can be made by express or 

 freight only ; not by parcel post.

Hardy Evergreen Azalea 



Positively the most beautiful hardy Evergreen 

 Azalea we have ever seen. The flowers are 

 produced in such great profusion as to com- 

 pletely envelop the plant, and resemble, in size 

 and make-up, those of a fine Azalea Indica. 

 They are rich, brilliant, carmine-lake in color. 

 The plants are perfectly hardy except possibly 

 at the Far North. Of decided spreading habit, 

 plants frequently being twice as broad as they 

 are tall. Flowers during late June and July. 

 9 to 12 inches, $2.00; 12 to 15 inches, $3.00; 15 

 to 18 inches, $4.50; 18 to 24 inches, $7,50 each.
