TRE LOVETT COMPANY, LITTLE SILVER, N. J. 



ROSA RUGOSA. 



Hardy japan Rose. 

 This superb shi'ub is not exceeded in 

 beauty by any we know. It has an 

 abundance of dark gi-een. glossy foli- 

 age of great richness and beauty, ciir- 

 iously wi-inkJed, and grows erectly te 

 a height of from f om- to five feet. It 

 bears in great profusion, all summer, 

 large single flowers, of bright rosy- 

 crimson, enhanced in beauty by nu- 

 merous yellow stamens, followed by 

 bright crimson fruits, nearly two 

 inches in diameter, bome in large 

 clusters. It is an exceedingly orna- 

 mental shrub and we can hardly say too much in praise of 

 it. It succeeds everywhere and is one of the few shrubs 

 which thrive on the sea coast in full exposm'e to salt ail-.

Robinia hispida. 



Of low growth, 

 with handsome 

 pinnate foliage of 



rich deep green, the entire bush being covered in June 

 and throughout summer with delightful flowers in long, 

 showy clusters of great beauty and of a lovely deep 

 rose color, the individual flowers resembling those of 

 the Sweet Pea. A charming shrub indeed, and of easy 

 cultm-e. Ea.. 1.5c; 3 for 35c; doz., 75c. 



THREE BRILLIANT SHRUBS. 



The extreme beauty of contrasting foliage in the 

 landscape is well known and univ ersally admired, pro- 

 ducing effects which charm the eye wherever seen. No 

 more striking or beautiful combination can be made 

 for this pm-pose than the three shrubs here named 

 which, if planted in the manner shov\-n in the illustra- 

 tion, wiU produce a brilliant and varied effect for six 

 months or more. All three are of the easiest cultm'e, 

 succeeding everywhere. TVe suggest such a group as 

 especially appropriate for a corner of a lot, etc. 



3RNIA PR1V£ 



Purple-teaved Plum. (Prim us Pisscu di) . In no other 



hardy shrub do we have such richness and depth of 

 color, which is of clear, rich purple throughout; from 

 the time it is put forth in May until it falls in late 

 autmnu. Of stm'dy, upright habit, the entire shrub is 

 covered in early spring with a drift of star-like, pure 

 white flowers. Our plants are grown upon their own 

 roots (not budded upon other stock in the usual way), 

 and are vastly superior on this accoimt. Ea.. 15c; 8 

 for 35c; doz.. 81.25. 



California Privet. Bright, glossy foUage of the most 

 intense, rich, deep green imaginable, covered in July 

 T\ith panicles of small, white, lilac-like fiowei*s. It is 

 an elegant hedge plant, rapidly forming hedges of 

 great beauty. Wc shall be pleased to quote special 

 prices by the huncb'ed and thousand for any size desired 

 for this purpose. Ea.. 10c: 3 for 25c; doz., 75c. 



Golden Satnbucus. There is no flner golden-leaved 

 shi-ub than this, and it retains its brilliancy thi'oughout 

 the summer. Of spreading habit, very graceful, leaves 

 large and lace-like. Ea., 15c; 3 for 85c; doz.. 81.25. 



Special. For 30c. ice icill send one each o f the three; 

 for SI. 75 three o f each ; for $1.25 six of each; for ^2.00 

 a dozen of each: all strong plants.
