THE LOVETT COMPANY, LITTLE SILVER, N, 



save our patrons this annoyance, trouble 

 varieties only which are faultless in both 

 plant and bloom. In brief, the follow- 

 ing varieties constitute the cream of the> entire 

 list of Roses of all classes. 

 OUR PLANTS are, without exception, upon their 

 own roots. They are not weak little things, just a few days from the propagating beds, 

 like so many that are sent out, hut are good, strong, tveU-established plants from 2 1-2 or 

 8 inch pots, as shown in illustration, or heavy plants from 4 inch pots, or from the nur- 

 sery. This is why we cannot offer them at such low figures as some others do. 



The prices include posta^re, except as noted. If to be sent by mail please so state defi- 

 nitely. When they go by express the largest and strongest plants are selected. Those in 

 need of a quantity of one or more varieties will please write for quotations. 



NEW HARDY EVERBLOOMING ROSE 



The number of 



varieties of Roses 

 is almost endless. 

 Those who do not 

 make the Rose a 

 special study are 

 therefore very apt 

 to select some vari- 

 eties which time 

 proves to be of very 

 indifferent merit 

 or to possess grave 

 defects that render 

 them valueless. To 

 and expense we offer 



ALICE ALDRICH. 



Although now first offered and so valuable we have put the prices low, 

 Strooff plants, from 21-2 inch pots, each, 50 cents; 3 for $1.25. 

 One year old, from open ground, each, $1.00; 3 for $2.50. 



Sweetest and most unique of Roses. 



We regret that lack of space 

 permits us to give but a brief de- 

 scription and comment upon this 

 remarkable, this truly wonderful 

 rose — the pioneer of a new and 

 most valuable race and one for 

 time out of mind longed for, name" 

 ly : absolutely hardy, perpetual 

 bl o o m i n g and sweetly-scented 

 roses. 



The Alice Aldrich is a hybrid 

 between Rosa rugosa and Caroline 

 de Sansal, a well-known variety of 

 the hybrid perpetual class. In 

 habit of growth and foliage it 

 strongly resembles the rugosa spe- 

 cies, possessing the same abundant 

 rich dark green, healthy foliage 

 and moss-rose-like buds. It like- 

 wise inherits the property of this 

 species of blooming with great pro- 

 fusion in June and continuing 

 throughout the summer and au- 

 tumn. It possesses all the rugged- 

 ness and iron-clad hardiness of its 

 Japanese parent. In bloom it is 

 medium to large, densely double 

 and of pure, bright, peach-blow- 

 pink throughout. There is no other 

 rose we have ever grown that is 

 so rich in delicious damask per- 

 fume. Everybody who gets it 

 will be delighted with it and those 

 who do not will make a great mis- 

 take.
