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



25 



BESS LOVETT 



The most fragrant of^ all climbing roses. It 

 is of strong growth with large, glossy Silver 

 Moon-hke foliage and what is remarkable in 



a climbing rose, the flowers are exquisitely 

 fragrant — as fragrant as those of the famous 

 American Beauty or any of the choice hybrid 

 perpetual roses. There is no other climbing 

 rose we have ever seen that at all approaches, 

 much less rivals, this grand rose in perfume; 

 its_ fragrance being full, rich and sweet, with the 

 refreshing piquancy of the Carnation. 



The roses which are lavishly produced are 

 of good size, double, full and cupped form; be- 

 ing similar in make-up to the Climbing Amer- 

 ican Beauty but very much brighter in color 

 and more fragrant by far. 



The color is a clear bright red ; much like 

 the brilliant Ulrich Brunner, but of an even 

 livelier and more dazzling hue. The roses, which 

 are very lasting, are also very beautiful in bud, 

 and are borne on long strong stems in the same 

 way as are those of the Dr. Van Fleet; hence 

 are admirable for cutting. It has a long season 

 of blooming. 



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

 from nursen.' row, each, 50c.; dozen, $5.00. 



MARY LOVETT 



A superb pure white climbing rose. It is very 

 much like the beautiful Dr. W. Van Fleet rose. 



except the large full flowers are pure snow white. 

 They are held on long, strong stems and are de- 

 lightfully sweet scented. It blooms in late sum- 

 mer and autumn as well as in June. It is a hy- 

 brid of the popular Kaiserin Augusta Victoria 

 and the Wichuriana, and is a strong grower 

 with abundant mildew-proof leafage and is ex- 

 ceedingly free flowering. The flowers are very 

 lasting if left upon the plant or when cut. In 

 writing of it, Dr. Van Fleet says : "T regard it as 

 altogether the best that has been produced," add- 

 ing, "the buds cannot be excelled by any white 

 rose for purity of color and general high finish. 

 In the bud state it is exceedingly useful for cut- 

 ting. Beyond question, the finest and most val- 

 uable cHmbing white rose as yet offered." 



Unlike almost all other white roses, the flow- 

 ers of this variety are absolutely pure white; 

 with no suggestion of pink, lemon or any other 

 color. 



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

 nursery row, each, 50c. ; dozen, S5.00, 



AMERICAN PILLAR 



In a class by itself and very valuable. So fine 

 in habit and foliage it is well worth growing 

 as. a cUmber for covering summer houses, etc. — 

 yet its wealth of bloom is truly wonderful. Cor- 

 rectly described as "a single flowering rose with 

 blossoms three inches across, borne in immense 

 clusters. Color, lovely apple blossom pink with 

 bright golden stamens, followed in autumn with 

 red hips." It exceeds in strong growth even the 

 Crimson Rambler and Dorothy Perkins — in fact, 

 all other varieties. (See cut.) 



Strong 2 yrs. old, each, 30c. ; dozen, $3.00. 

 From 5-inch pots, each, 40c.; dozen, $4.00.
