The superb pure white climbing rose. It 

 is very much like the beautiful Dr. W. Van 

 Fleet rose, except the large full flowers are 

 pure snow white. They are held on long, 

 strong stems and are delightfully sweet scent- 

 ed. It blooms in late summer and autumn 

 as well as in June. It is a hybrid of the popu- 

 lar Kaiserin Augusta Victoria and the Wich- 

 uriana and is a strong grower with abundant 

 mildew-proof leafage and is exceedingly free 

 fl9wering. The flowers are very lasting if 

 left upon the plant or when cut. In writing of 

 it, Dr. \^an Fleet says: "I regard it as alto- 

 gether the best that has been produced," add- 

 ing "the buds cannot be excelled by any white 

 rose for purity of color and general high fin- 

 ish. In the bud state it is exceedingly useful 

 for cutting." Beyond question, the finest and 

 most valuable climbing white rose as yet of- 

 ''ered. 



Unlike almost all other white roses, the 

 flowers of this variety are absolutely pure 

 white; with no suggestion of pink, lemon or 

 an\' other color.

 I think you have roses of unusual merit in at 

 least two of the Lovetts. Alida Lovett and Bess 

 Lovett, as in bloom in the Washington rose-gar- 

 den of the American Rose Society, have shown 

 this year real superiority. J. Horace McFarland.

Bristol Co., Mass., July 24, 1917. 

 One of the Alida Lovett bushes gave me two 

 flowers and I was much taken with them ; also 

 with the Bess Lovett. which also gave a few 

 flowers. Of course, the blooms will improve as 

 the bushes grow and increase in vigor. They 

 were set this spring only. A. J. Fish.
