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



Choice Deciduous and Evergreen Shrubs 

 and Dwarf Trees 



THE permanent value and beauty of Deciduous 

 Shrubs was never better understood and appreciated 

 than at the present time. The charm and grace they 

 lend to the home grounds is invaluable, and, if judicious 

 selection is made, it is possible to have a continuous suc- 

 cession of bloom from early in April, when the Forsythia 

 displays its brilliant golden flowers to welcome the return- 

 ing birds, to the days when the frost again nips the flow- 

 ers of the very latest to bloom. 



We have purposely omitted many varieties, having confined our list to those which 

 are easily packed and shipped and of strong, rugged habit, in order to reduce their care 

 to a minimum. However, we handle varieties other than those listed, and will appreciate 

 your inquiries with reference to these unlisted sorts. 



The prices quoted are for well-developed, stocky plants. A dozen of any variety will 

 be supplied for ten times the price of one (six for five times the price of one), but this 

 dozen rate may be used only when six or more of one variety are taken. The hundred 

 rate of any variety will be promptly sent if desired. We solicit an opportunity to give 

 special quotations upon lists of Shrubs and Ornamental Trees for landscape planting. 

 Shipment can be made by express or freight only; not by parcel post. 



Acer Palmatum Atropurpureum (Japa- 

 nese Blood-leaf Maple) — This variety, 

 generally regarded as a shrub, is really 

 a dwarf growing tree. Its blood-red 

 foliage, brighter than that of any 

 other sort, is at its best in the spring 

 and early summer, when it makes a 

 display that is unforgetable. 12-18 

 in., ^4.50; 18-24 in., ^6.50; 2-3 ft., 

 ^9.50 each. 



Althea — See Hibiscus syriacus. 

 Amygdalus — See Prunus. 

 Aralia pentaphylla (Five-leaf Aralia) 

 — The long, slender, gracefully arch- 

 ing branches and bright green foliage 

 combine to make this a most attractive 

 sort. Splendid for banks. 2 to 3 ft., 

 60c; 3 to 4 ft., 90c each. 



HARDY AZALEAS 



The attractive foliage and the 

 brilliantly colored flowers combine to 

 place these among our most valuable 

 and ornamental shrubs. 



J. T. Lovett — Positively the most 

 beautiful hardy evergreen Azalea 

 that we have ever seen. The flow- 

 ers are produced in such profusion 

 that they completely envelop the 

 plant. These flowers resemble in 

 size and appearance those of an 

 especially fine Azalea Indica, being 

 a rich, brilliant carmine-lake in 

 color. The plants, themselves, are 

 extremely hardy, and survive the 

 blasts of winter better than any 

 other evergreen Azalea of which 

 we know. 9-12 in., ^2.50; 12-15 

 in., ^3.00; 15-18 in., $4.50; 18-24 

 in., $7.50 each.
