FALL PLANTING SUGGESTIONS FROM 



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. 



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 shading of rich sulphur at the 

 base of petals — a combination that is both novel 

 and beautiful. It is very much brighter and more 

 cheerful in color, with larger flowers, than 

 those of the justly popular Dr. Van Fleet Rose. 



The plant is of strong growth, a free bloomer 

 and of ironclad hardihood; flowering for a 

 long season. It is also quite fragrant. Price, 

 each, $1.50; dozen, $15.00. 



HARDY CLIMBING AND TRAILING ROSES 



Planted this Fall, bloom freely next Summer 



Our collection of Climbing Roses is, we believe, second to none. Every variety offered 

 has been given the most rigid sort of test, so that we can recommend every one of the varieties. 

 Price (except as noted), strong two-year fisld-grown plants, 75c. each; $7.50 per dozen. 



The Lovely Trio of the Lovett Sisters' Climbing 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 following rank 

 unsurpassed. 



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 grand 

 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. 



MARY LOVETT.— The superb pure 

 white climbing rose. It is very much like 

 the beautiful Dr. W. Van Fleet Rose, ex- 

 cept 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, 

 j with abundant mildew-proof foliage, and 

 is exceedingly free flowering. The flowers 

 are very lasting if left upon the plant or 

 when cut. Beyond question, the finest and 

 most valuable climbing white rose as yet 

 offered. Price, field-grown plants, each, 

 $1.00; dozen, $10.00. 



AMERICAN PILLAR.— This is posi- 

 tively one of the most gorgeous climbers 

 that we have ever seen. Its glossy, mil- 

 dew-proof foliage and extremely strong 

 growth make it desirable for covering 

 summerhouses and arbors; at the same 

 time, its wealth of bloom is truly wonder- 

 ful. When in bloom it is almost covered 

 with immense clusters of single blossoms, 

 three inches across, that are a lovely apple- 

 blossom pink, with bright golden stamens. 



AUNT HARRIET.— Originated by the 

 famous Rose-hybridizer, Dr. W. Van Fleet. 

 In full bloom it is amazingly fine, with 

 scarlet-crimson Roses loading every 

 branch. Awarded Certificate of Merit, 

 American Rose Society. 



GARDENIA (Hardy Marechal Niel).— 

 The very pretty pointed buds of this rose 

 are nankeen yellow, turning to waxy white 

 when expanded, and are held on long 

 stems. Profuse bloomer and glossy foli- 

 age. 



Climbing American Beauty. — Of the 



same color and fragrance as the American 

 Beauty, but smaller. A profuse bloomer 

 and a vigorous grower. 



Climbing Clothilde Soupert. — A truly 

 ever-blooming climbing rose. Loose clus- 

 ters of large French white blossoms, with 

 centers of silvery rose, are produced for a 

 ALIDA LOVETT — With Bess Lovett in Oval Insert long season.
