The Lovely Trio of the Lovett 

 Sisters' CHmbing 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. Among climbers the fol- 

 lowing rank unsurpassed. 



ALIDA LOVETT— This may be described 

 in brief by saying it is an improved Dr. Van 

 Fleet. In habit it is quite like the popular Van 

 Fleet, but with larger and more beautiful mil- 

 dew-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 shadings of rich sulphur 

 at the base of petals — a combination that is 

 both novel and beautiful. 



The plant is of strong growth, a free 

 bloomer and of ironclad hardihood; flowering 

 for a long season. It is also quite fragrant. 

 Price, from field, each, $1.50; dozen, $15.00. 

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



BESS LOVETT— Is of strong growth, with 

 large, glossy Silver Moon-like foliage, and, 

 what is remarkable in a climbing rose, the 

 flowers are exquisitely fragrant. There is no 

 other climbing rose we have ever seen that 

 at all approaches, much less rivals, this arrand 

 rose in perfume. Flowers are lavishly produced, 

 are of good size, double, full and cupped form; 

 being similar in make-up to the Climbing 

 American Beauty, but very much brighter in 

 color and more fragrant by far. 



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, hence 

 are admirable for cutting. Price, field grown, 

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

 each, $1.50: dozen. $15.00. 



MARY LOVETT.— The superb pure white 

 climbing rose. It is very much like the beau- 

 tiful Dr. W. Van Fleet Rose, except the large 

 full flowers are pure snow white. They are 

 held on long, strong stems and are delightfully 

 sweet-scented. It blooms in late summer and 

 autumn as well as in June. It is a strong 

 grower, with abundant mildew-proof foliage, 

 and is exceedingly free flowering. The flow- 

 ers are very lasting if left upon the plant or 

 when cut. Beyond question, the finest and 

 most valuable climbing white rose as yet of- 

 fered. Price, field-grown plants, each. $1.00: 

 dozen, SIO.OO. From 5-inch pots. each. $1.50; 

 dozen, $15.00. 



AMERICAN PILLAR.— This is positively 

 one of the most gorgeous climbers that we 

 have ever seen. Its glossy, mildew-proof 

 foliage and extremely strong growth make it 

 desirable for covering summerhouses and ar- 

 bors; at the same time, its wealth of bloom is 

 truly wonderful. When in bloom it is almost 

 covered with immense clusters of single blos- 

 soms, three inches across, that are a lovely 

 apple-blossom pink, with bright golden sta- 

 mens. 



ALIDA LOVETT ROSE 

 The Second Year from Planting 



CHRISTINE WRIGHT.— Of strong grow- 

 ing habit, with large, dark-green foliage, im- 

 mune to disease. The double flowers are very 

 large, of perfect form, bright rosy pink; beau- 

 tiful in bud and when full blown. 



PAUL'S SCARLET CLIMBER.— A very 

 fine English sort of recent introduction. It 

 surely has won a place for itself, with its large, 

 brilliant scarlet flowers produced in a glorious 

 profusion. Though but semi-double, the flow- 

 ers are of surprisingly large size and are borne 

 long after the June bloomers have seen their 

 day. Winner of many highest awards, includ- 

 ing Gold ]\Iedal of National Rose Societv of 

 England. Heavy 2-year-old field-grown plants, 

 $1.00 each; $10.00 per dozen. 



Mrs. Emilia M. Reed, of Pleasantville, N. J., writes 

 as follows : 



"The Roses I bought of you two years ago are beautiful, 

 and all growing fine. They are truly wonderful, and are 

 admired by all who see them. I am very proud of them."
