LOVETT'S NURSERY, LITTLE SILVER, NJ.— ROSES 



23 



HARDY ROSES 



When requested to do 

 so, we will gladly ship 

 Roses b}' parcel post pro- 

 vided cash is sent for post- 

 age as per table. 



All Roses offered in this 

 catalog are strong plants, 

 some two and some three 

 years old; we do not con- 

 sider it good business to ofter 

 one year old or younger plants 

 which, unless given the ver3- best 

 of care, almost always prove dis- 

 appointing, and all our Everbear- 

 ing Roses are budded on that best 

 of all stocks, the Japanese multi- 

 fiora (unless otherwise noted). 



HARDY EVERBLOOMING ROSES 



Again we otter our patrons not only an unusually large 

 quantity of Everblooming Roses, but our assortment of va- 

 rieties is, we think, the finest we have ever had the pleasure 

 of offering. 



This collection of varieties, we have endeavored to make up, not 

 only choosing the most beautiful sorts but also with regard to their 

 hardiness. Even so, it is best to give all varieties some protection 

 in winter. A light covering of strawy manure is all that is necessary. 

 An equally efficient protection may be obtained by heaping soil, say. 

 eight inches deep about each plant, removing same, of course, in 

 early spring. ; 



The shock to Everblooming Roses is so great when taken from 

 the nursery row and planted in the garden that several weeks, or 

 even months, are required for them to recuperate. Because of this we grow all our roses of 

 this class in pots. In shipping these large sturdy plants, they are taken from the pots in which 

 they are growing and are sent with all their roots and the earth about them undisturbed. When 

 thus shipped and planted in their new homes they continue to grow and flower without check. 



Price for two and three-year-old plants from five inch pots, each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00; 100, 

 $75.00 (unless otherwise noted). 



Please Note. — For best results, plant Ever- 

 blooming Roses at least an inch and a half 

 deeper than they have stood in the pots. 



ARTHUR R. GOODWIN.— Coppery-orange- 

 red passing to salmon-pink as the flowers ex- 

 pand. A superb combination of color.

 gold. Buds long and pointed; moderately dou- 

 ble; petals unusually large and conspicuously 

 veined. Stems long. Fragrance rich.

 bust variety and one of the best.
