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



HYBRID PERPETUAL 

 ROSES 



With the exception of Rosa Rugosa, 

 these are the hardiest of all Roses. 

 They are of vigorous, upright habit, 

 with large leaves and very large, full, 

 double, richly fragrant flowers which 

 are produced in profusion in June and 

 more sparingly in autumn. 



In order to obtain the finest flowers, 

 prune severely in early spring, manure 

 liberally and keep the soil well cul- 

 tivated.
