 MARY LOVETT, 

 THE GREATEST OF 

 ALL WHITE CLIMBERS 



The Lovely Trio of 



"LOVETT SISTERS" 



AMONG rose hybridizers few have to their 

 credit a greater number of worth while crea- 

 tions than the late Dr. Van Fleet. All the Van 

 Fleet hybrids are particularly valuable in having 

 deep glossy mildew-proof foliage. In addition, 

 the flowers are larger, of better substance, and more 

 artistic form than those of most other climbing roses. 

 We count the 3 Van Fleet Hybrids, offered oh this 

 page, among the really triumphant achievements of 

 Dr. Van Fleet's life. 



ALIDA LOVETT— In habit it is quite like the 

 popular V^an Fleet, but with larger and more beau- 

 tiful mildew-proof foliage, while the color of the flower 

 is brighter. 



Both buds and flowers are large, of ideal form, 

 and held on stiff stems a foot and a half to two feet 

 long; and the color is a lively bright shell-pink with 

 shadings of rich sulphur at the base of the petals — 

 a combination that is both novel and beautiful. 

 The plant is of strong growth, a free bloomer and 

 of ironclad hardihood; flowering for a long season. 

 It is also quite fragrant. Price, heavy field-

grown plants, each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00 

 BESS LOVETT— Is of strong growth, with large 

 glossy Silver Moon-like foliage, and, what is re- 

 markable in a climbing rose, the flowers are exqui- 

 sitely fragrant. Flowers are lavishly produced; 

 are of good size, double, full and cupped form, being 

 similar in make-up to theClimbingAmerican Beauty, 

 but ver^- much brighter red in color and more fra- 

 grant by far. The roses, which are very lasting, 

 are also very beautiful in bud and are borne on long 

 stems. Price, heavy field-grown plants, each, 

 $1.00; dozen, $10.00. 



MARY LOVETT— It is very much like the beau- 

 tiful Dr. W. Van Fleet Rose, except in that the large 

 full flowers are pure snow-white. They are held on 

 long, strong stems and are delightfully sweet-scented. 

 It blooms in late summer and autumn, as well as 

 in June. It is a strong grower, with abundant 

 mildew-proof foliage, and is exceedingly free flower- 

 ing. The finest and most valuable climbing white 

 rose as yet offered. Price, heavy field-grown 

 plants, each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00.
