LOVETT'S NURSERY, LITTLE SILVER, N. J. 



ses 



NOTHING that we can say will add to the popu- 

 larity of the rose, the most prized of all flowers. 

 Those whose taste tends toward the beauties of 

 nature cannot help classing the rose at the head of the 

 ornamentals. 



Realizing the utmost importance of the rose among our 

 Nursery products, we have been especially careful in 

 our selection and treatment. Our roses are chosen and 

 grown with expert care, and we feel sure that the results 

 of our efforts will shine forth in your garden, making it a spot of delightful beauty and 

 the envy of your fellow rose growers. 



CULTURAL DIRECTIONS 



Dig out the bed to a depth of 12 inches, scattering 3 to 4 inches of good top soil in the bottom 

 of the trench. On top of this put well decayed manure to a depth of 4 to 5 inches and mix thorough- 

 ly with the top soil already in the trench. Then place good quality top soil over this until the bed is 

 just a trifle higher than the surrounding ground. Set the Rose bushes 2 or 3 feet apart each way, 

 placing them a little deeper than they have been growing in the nursery row, as indicated by soil 

 marks on the bark. All budded Roses should be planted so that the place where the bud was inserted 

 comes at least an inch or two beneath the surface of the new bed. 



All classes of Roses should be pruned severely at time of planting.
