THE LOVETT SISTERS ROSES 



After many years of distinct pleasure in growing them, we are convinced that each of these 

 three remarkable' roses is matchless. Each is very distinct from the others, but their good 

 points are all of the highest average. All have long, graceful stems, which make them as de- 

 sirable for cutting as Hybrid Tea or Perpetual Roses. 



THE MARY LOVETT ROSE 



ALIDA LOVETT. — With many characteris- 

 tics similar to the popular Dr. \'an Fleet, but 

 with blossoms larger and of a much warmer, 

 more cheerful pink, a bright rosy pink with rich 

 sulphur at base of petals, causing the rose to 

 appear as though filled with sunlight. Both buds 

 and full blooms, which frequently measure five 

 inches across, are of extremely good form and 

 are held on long, firm stems, often a foot or 

 more in length. Foliage is large, very dark green, 

 glossy, and mildew-proof. The plant is a rapid, 

 strong grower. It needs some protection in win- 

 ter at the far North. Strong field-grown 

 plants, each, SI. 50: dozen, $15.00. 



BESS LOVETT.— The most fragrant of all 

 climbing roses. Of very strong growth, with such 

 luxuriant, beautiful glossy foliage it is a most 

 attractive plant at all times. Each year innumer- 

 able clusters of quite large double, full, clear 

 bright red blossoms make it a veritable show. 

 They are produced in profusion on long, stiff 

 stems like the Dr. \'an Fleet and last a long time 

 after cutting. Entirely hardy. Strong field- 

 grown plants, each, $1.50; dozen. $15.00. 



MARY LOVETT.— Absolutely pure white, 

 very double large blooms, with delicate thin petals, 

 cover this plant in June and appear again in late 

 summer and autumn. The large flowers and buds 

 are of very good form and are very lasting, 

 whether cut or left upon the plant. Foliage is 

 rather more delicate than of the former two roses, 

 but abundant and mildew-proof. The stems are 

 long and strong but extremely pliant. Strong 

 field-grown plants, each. SI. 50; dozen. $15. CO. 



Watkins. X.Y., August 28. 1921. 

 Will you allow me to congratulate you on the Lovett 

 Ramblers (Climbing) I bought of you a year last Spring? 

 I have them on an arbor, which they completely cover, 

 twelve feet hi?h. The bloom of Alida Lovett is very 

 surpri.-ing, as it stands next to the tea rose. Dean Hole. 

 It is the exact shade, and for size it is just as large. 

 They certainly attracted a lot of attention this summer 

 from people. I must say I fail to find any as good in 

 the Elizabeth Park, Hartford. Conn.; also its perfume is 

 superb. The Mary Lovett is. at present writing, showing 

 blossom for the second time this summer, which is pure 

 white, as large as any tea rose and just as fragrant. I 

 consider them really wonderful: the foliage is also most 

 beautiful.
