THE LOVETT COMPANY, LITTLE SILVER, N. J. 66 



HARDY SHRUBS. 



For want of space we describe but a few of the choicest and most valuable Ornamental Shrubs, and give but 

 brief notes on these, although our assortment is very large and complete. For other varieties see our Manual 

 of Ornamental Trees and Plants. 



Flowering Shrubs are of the greatest value and importance in the adornment of the home grounds, giving 

 a finished and artistic appearance even to those of only moderate dimensions; there is nothing, that will so quickly, 

 and for the cost, add so much beauty to the surroundings. Those we here offer are entirely hardy without pro- 

 tection, bloom at once, and continue to grow lovelier year by year. By a proper selection of kinds, bloom may 

 be secured continuously throughout the season from early spring to late in autumn, and, with the addition of the 

 variegated and golden-leaved sorts and those bearing ornamental fruit, a continual and varied display of beauty 

 will result. 



The plants of all we offer have been grown in the nursery one or more years and are well rooted and well 

 matured. The prices include postage in all cases, but if ordered to be sent by express or f reight larger specimens 

 will be selected. Quotations for larger quantities than offered or for large specimens given upon application. 



ANDROMEDA 



MARIANA. 



One of the finest and most 

 beautiful of all shrubs; neat, 

 compact and vigorous, at- 

 taining a height of two or 

 three feet. It produces in- 

 numerable graceful sprays 

 of tubular, white, 

 waxy flowers, de- 

 lightfully fragrant 

 and of exquisite in- 

 dividual beauty. 

 The foliage remains 

 until very late, 

 turning to a 

 deep red in 

 autumn. It 

 is sometimes 

 styled Lily 

 of the Valley 

 Shrub, a 

 very appro- 

 priate name. 

 Worthy o f 

 all praise. Ea., 20c; 3 for 50c; doz., $1.50. 



CALYCANTHUS. 



Carolina Allspice {Caly- 

 canthus fl oridus). Also 

 known as Sweet-scented 

 Shrub, and Strawberry 

 Shrub. Valuable, desirable 

 and charming for its fra- 

 [grance and general good 

 habit. It bears from May 

 throughout all summer, in 

 great abundance, small, 

 double, dull brownish-pur- 

 ple flowers of exquisite, aro- 

 matic, strawberry-like fra- 

 grance. The wood and leaves 

 are also delightfully sweet- 

 scented. It forms a large shrub of spreading growiih 

 and succeeds everywhere. Ea,, 15c; 3 for 35c; doz., 11.25. 



DOUBLE DEUTZIA. 



Deutzia crenata fl. pi. One of the most reliable and 

 popular of shrubs, presenting a grand appearance late 

 in J une, when it is covered with beautiful racemes of 

 double white flowers tinged with pink. It is a strong 

 grower, entirely hardy, very free-flowering and should 

 never be omitted when selecting flowering shrubs. Ea., 

 15c; 3 for 35c; doz., $1.25. 



ALTHAEA. Rose of Sharon. 



Very desirable and popular, showy flowering shrubs, 

 of the easiest culture. Their large, double, bright col- 

 ored flowers produced freely during August and Septem- 

 ber resemble Hollyhocks. Owing to their tall growth 

 they are very useful for forming screens or planting for 

 hedges, and especially valuable for lawn and border, as 

 they bloom profusely when few other shrubs are in 

 flower. 



Lady Stanley. The best double white. Large, 

 very double, lovely pure white, with a few purplish 

 stains m the throat, 



Sanguinea. The best double scarlet. Large, bril- 

 liant crimson; very free bloomer. 



Carnea plena. The best double pink. Large, beau- 

 tiful, clear rosy- pink. 



Celestis. The best double purple. Bright purple 

 flowers; a strong and free grower. 



Varieerated-leaved. Handsomely variegated foliage of 

 green and pale yellow, constant throughout the summer 

 and never burning or fading. One of the best of all 

 variegated-leaved shrubs. Ea., 15c; 3 for 35c; doz., $1.25. 



Lovett's White. A variety produced in our nurseries, 

 and which presents a profusion of large, single bell- 

 shaped flowers of purest snow white throughout. The 

 plant is of vigorous habit, hardy and exceedingly free 

 blooming. Ea., 20c; 3 for 50c.
