44 LOVETT'S NURSERY, LITTLE SILVER, N.J.— EVERGREEN SHRUBS 



HARDY EVERGREEN SHRUBS 



AZALEA 



J. T. LOVETT.— Produced by Dr. W. Van 

 Fleet, of whom we purchased it in 1910. It 

 has been fully tested and is by far the finest 

 and most beautiful hardy Azalea we have ever 

 seen. The flowers are produced in such 

 great profusion as to completely envelop 

 the plant, and resemble in size and make-up 

 those of a fine Azalea Indica and are rich, bril- 

 liant, carmiine-lake in color. The plant is hardy 

 without protection. The evergreen foliage is 

 rich, deep green, with metallic shadings, ex- 

 ceedingly abundant, and the leaves are much 

 larger than those of Azalea amoena. This grand 

 Azalea flowers during late June and July, after 

 the other Azaleas have shed their bloom. Ow- 

 ing to an unusual demand we are able, this 

 year, to offer only small plants. 9 to 12 in., 

 $2.00 each. 



AMOENA. — A dense dwarf-growing ever- 

 green shrub with slender branches and semi- 

 double flowers of bright, cheerful rosy-purple, 

 produced in such great numbers as to literally 

 envelop the bush in Tune. Bushy plants, 9 to 

 12 in., $1.35; 12 to 15 in., $1.75; 15 to 18 in., 

 $2 50 each. 



HINODEGIRI. — A valuable variety from 

 Japan. It is of broad spreading habit, with 

 beautiful evergreen foliage and many, fiery-red 

 single flow^ers of good size. Bushy plants, 6 to 

 9 in., $1.25; 9 to 12 in., $2.00; 12 to 15 in., $3 each. 



BUXUS 



SEMPERVIRENS.— The ever popular Box- 

 wood. Of medium height, frequently grown in 

 globe or pyramidal shape. Slow growing but 

 most enduring. 12 to 18 in., $1.50; 18 to 24 in., 

 5^2.50 each. 



BUXUS SUFFRUTICOSA. — See Hedge 

 Plants. 



DAPHNE 

 CNEORUM. — A prostrate Evergreen plant 

 with small pink, delightfully fragrant flowers in 

 I\Iav and occasionally later. Specimen plants, 

 each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00. 



KALMIA LATIFOLIA 

 (Mountain Laurel) 



No other hardy shrub except the Rhododen- 

 dron rivals this in beauty. Like Rhododendron, 



it retains its foliage in unimpaired beauty 

 throughout the year. Its leaves, which are 

 broad, smooth and glossy, are exceptional!}' 

 free from blemish of any kind. As regards 

 hardiness, it may justly be termed "ironclad." 

 The flowers which are borne in large, flat clus- 

 ters, vary in color from pearly white to soft, 

 shell pink, and are uniquely and exquisitely 

 formed, suggesting, both in bud and when ex- 

 panded, flowers made of certain delicate, dainty 

 sea shells. The flowers appear early in June 

 and continue some weeks. 



Kalmia latifolia is beautiful as single speci- 

 mens, but yields greatest pleasure when prop- 

 erly grouped in conjunction with Rhododen- 

 drons or in mass. Clumps, IVz to 2 ft., $1.C0; 

 2 to 3 ft., $1.50. Special quotations on carload 

 lots. 



LEUCOTHOE 

 CATESBAEI.— Long, dark green leaves 

 that turn to an attractive bronze in win- 

 ter. Beautiful, gracefully arched branches with 

 pendant, bell-shaped flowers in spring, an ideal 

 plant for massing in shady places or in the fore- 

 ground of Rhododendron plantings. Choice 

 specimens, each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00. 



RHODODENDRONS 

 CHOICE HYBRIDS 



We are indeed fortunate in having to offer 

 this spring several thousand splendid Hybrid 

 Rhododendrons, strictly first-class American- 

 grown hybrids at prices that are surely within 

 the reach of all. 



Mixed colors, mostly light pink and dark 

 pink, with some crimson,- white, etc., at the 

 following soecial prices: 15 to 18 in., $3.00; 18 

 to 24 in., $4 CO; 2 to 3 ft., $5.50 each. 



MAXIMUM.— This is the native Rhododen- 

 dron of our northern states. It is at home under 

 the- shade of trees where many other desirable 

 shrubs will not thrive. For massing along 

 wooded drives and paths of parks or private 

 estates, no other plant is so effective in pro- 

 ducing beautiful results. The plants offered are 

 stocky, well furnished, with ball of earth, and 

 of verv superior quality in every wav. 2 to 3 

 ft., $2.00: 3 to 4 ft.. $3.00 each. Quotations on 

 carload lots upon request.
