J. T. LOVETT, INC., LITTLE SILVER, N. J.— NUT TREES— ROSES 



HARDY ENGLISH WALNUTS 



VROOMAN FRANQUETTE. — There are 

 two important properties that nearly all va- 

 rieties of the Eng- 

 lish Walnut or 

 Madeira nut lack ; 

 namely, hardiness 

 and productiveness. 

 In the variety of- 

 fered, we have both 

 prolific bearing and 

 hardiness of t r e_e 

 and blossom; hardi- 

 hood that fully 

 equals the Peach, 

 the trees yielding 

 annually and abun- 

 dantly. Nuts large, 

 with thin shells and 

 rich, sweet, large, 

 plump meats. Tree of spreading growth, re- 

 sembHng in habit the apple, of vigorous growth, 

 bears very young and requires no special care 

 or attention. The trees we offer are grafted on 

 the Black Walnut, which adds vigor and hardi- 

 ness. Two to 3 feet, $1.50. 



JAPANESE WALNUT 



(Juglans Sieboldiana) 



From northern Japan and as hardy as an oak. 

 The tree is of strong, rapid growth, bears when 

 young and is exceedingly prolific, the nuts hang- 

 ing in large, long clusters. In appearance, the 

 nuts resemble small English Walnuts, but the 

 shell is hard and bony, though not so thick as 

 the ordinary Black Walnut. Meat sweet, of 

 mild flavor and decidedly good. It reproduces 

 true to type from seed. The trees offered are 

 seedlings. Five to 6 feet, each, 50c. ; dozen, 

 $5.00. Six to 8 feet, each, 75c.; dozen, $7.50. 

 Eight to 10 feet, each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00. 



BUTTERNUT 



Frequently termed White Walnut. It forms 

 a wide spreading tree and is decidedly orna- 

 mental. Its large, long nuts have a thick shell, 

 with meats somewhat similar in character to the 

 Black Walnut, but less oily and more delicate 

 in flavor. It begins to bear when quite young 

 and yields abundantly. Seedling trees, 3 to 4 

 feet, each, 35c. ; dozen, $3 50. Five to 6 feet, 

 each, 50c.; dozen, $5.00. 



THE BEST CLIMBING ROSES 



Wonderful improvement in Climbing Roses has been rnade in recent years, and these improve- 

 ments have been accomplished chiefly by American hybridizers. We are fortunate in having a 

 good supply of these premier varieties that enables us to offer them at moderate rates. 



THE LOVETT SISTER ROSES 



After a thorough and careful test, we sincerely believe each to be the finest and best climbing 

 rose of its color as yet produced. 



They are all hybrids of the Wichuraiana Rose and other popular varieties, produced by that 

 greatest of hybridizers, Dr. W. Van Fleet; and have characteristics in common, namely: all are 

 of strong vigorous growth and entirely hardy; all have large, handsome, glossy, "mjldew-proof" 

 foliage; all are very free-flowering and flower for a long season; all have large exquisitely formed 

 buds and large, beautifully modeled flowers, that are held on long, stiff stems (hence ideal for 

 cutting) ; all have delightfully fragrant flowers (an exceptional property in climbing roses), and 

 the flowers of all three are unusually enduring — whether left upon the plant or cut for decora- 

 tion. An added merit, and an important property, all shed their blooms promptly as soon as they 

 have faded; unlike a number of otherwise desirable varieties, the faded flowers of which cling 

 to the plant for a long time and thus present an effect that offends the eye. 



ALIDA LOVETT 



This is an improvement upon that great 

 cHmbing rose, the Dr. W. Van Fleet. It is a hy- 

 brid of the Pres. Carnot and the Memorial Rose, 

 and during a painstaking test of twelve years it 

 has not developed a defect. In habit, it is quite 

 like the popular Van Fleet, but with larger and 

 more beautiful mildew-proof foliage. 



Both buds and flovv^ers 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 flowers are of remarkable 

 substance and long lived, whether cut or left to 

 remain upon the plant, and are pleasantly per- 

 fumed. It is very much brighter and more cheer- 

 ful in color, with larger flowers than those of the 

 justly popular Dr. Van Fleet Rose. 



The plant is of strong growth and a free 

 bloomer and of ironclad hardihood; flowering 

 for a long season. When the flowers fade, the 

 petals fall at once. 



Large two-year plants in five-inch pots or from 

 nursery row, each, 75c. ; dozen, $7.50.
