Greater Rose Gardens for America 



Deep within every human being 

 dwells the desire to have a "prettier 

 place." There are two families of 

 flowers that will beautify any place: 

 Roses and old-fashioned hardy plants. 

 Roses are valuable for many purposes, 

 their chief uses being as climbers to 

 cover pergolas, arbors, and to shade 

 porches and as garden roses for bou- 

 quets or to beautify the garden. 



Among the garden roses none excel 

 the Hybrid Tea Rose in blooming 

 qualities while for northern sections 

 the Hardy Perpetuals are found to be 

 hardier and more satisfactory. (We 

 offer below a lovely trio of climbing 

 Roses, a splendid collection of both 

 Hybrid Teas and Hardy Perpetuals, 

 besides an old-fashioned hardy garden) . 



Incidentally, you will like the com- 

 bination of Lily of the Valley, and 

 English Violets mentioned below. For 

 creating charmingly attractive cor- 

 ncro or for putting color into any nook 

 or rockery, this combination is un- 

 beatable. 



The Lovely Trio of Lovett 

 Sisters' Climbing Roses 



These are all the result of efforts of 

 the famous hybridizer, Dr. Van Fleet, 

 to whom we are indebted for some of 

 the choicest new creations in Roses. 

 Alida Lovett — In habit it is quite like 



the popular Van Fleet, but with 



larger and more beautiful mildew- 

 proof foliage, while the color of the 



flower is brighter. Both buds and 



flowers are large; are of ideal form, 



are held on stiff stems a foot and a 



half to two feet long, and the color 



is a lively bright shell pink with shad- 

 ings of rich sulphur at the base of 



petals — a combination that is both 



novel and beautiful. 



Blooms for a long season. Quite 



fragrant. Price, from field, each, 



pots, each, $2.00; dozen, $20.00. 

 Bess Lovett — There is no other climbing rose we have ever seen that 



at all approaches, much less rivals, this grand rose in perfume. 



Flowers are lavishly produced, are of good size, double, full and 



cupped form. 



The color is a clear, bright red. The roses, which are very lasting, 

 are also very beautiful in bud and are borne on long stems. Price, 

 ftridrggre?. $1.00; dozen, $10.00. From five-inch pots, each, 

 $1.50; dozen, $15.00. 

 Mary Lovett — The superb pure white climbing rose. Flowers are 

 held on long, strong stems and are delightfully sweet-scented. It 

 frequently blooms in late summer and autumn as well as in June 

 and is exceedingly free flowering. The flowers are very lasting if 

 left upon the plant or when cut. 

 Price, field-grown plants, each, 

 $1.00; dozen, $10.00. From 5-inch 

 pots, each, $1.50; dozen, $15.00.
