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



CRIMSON RAMBLER.— This very pop- 

 ular variety produces a profusion of large clus- 

 ters of deep crimson, semi-double tlowers. 

 Much used for covering walls, pillars, etc., and 

 so vigorous in growth as to make shoots of 

 from eight to ten feet in one year. Unfor- 

 tunately, it is subject to mildew, to an ex- 

 tent that it sometimes presents an unsightly 

 appearance in late summer. 



EXCELS A (Red Dorothy Perkins).— Flow- 

 ers brilliant crimson; plant of Wichuraiana 

 habit and foliage. It has the vigor and pro- 

 fuse bloom of the Dorothy Perkins and its 

 double flowers of good size are borne in clus- 

 ters of thirty to forty each. 



GARDENIA (Hardy Marechal Neil).— The 

 buds are nankeen yellow, pointed and very 

 pretty; the expanded flowers change to waxy 

 white and are held on long stems. It is of 

 vigorous habit, with glossy foliage and is a 

 profuse bloomer for a long period. 



HIAWATHA.— A strong growing variety 

 with single flowers and abundant clean foliage. 

 An authority on roses, in speaking of it, says: 

 "There is no other rose so brilliant as Hia- 

 watha. It must be seen to be appreciated. Its 

 flowers are about 1^ inches across and are 

 produced in long pendulous sprays, frequently 

 with from 40 to 50 flowers on a spray. In 

 color it is a brilliant ruby carmine with a clear 

 white eye and a mass of golden stamens." 



PHILADELPHIA.— A seedling of and an 

 improvement upon, the well-known Crimson 

 Rambler. It is not so strong a grower, but 

 blooms about two weeks earlier, while the 

 flowers and clusters are larger and of a bright- 

 er crimson; and has better foliage. 



VONDEL. — An everblooming climbing rose. 

 The flowers are apple blossom pink, semi- 

 double, fragrant, and are produced in clusters 

 throughout the summer but are rather small. 

 Similar to the Empress of India or Apple 

 Blossom rose. 



WICHURAIANA (Memorial Rose).— A per- 

 fect trailer, hugging the ground closely. It 

 grows from ten to fifteen feet in a season, and 

 is densely furnished with dark green, glossy 

 foliage. The flowers are single, pure white, 

 with bright golden yellow stamens and with 

 the Banksia Rose fragrance. 



WHITE DOROTHY PERKINS.— A sport 

 of the popular Dorothy Perkins and like it in 

 every way except its flowers are white. Un- 

 fortunately the flowers are not a very clear 

 white and must be seen in mass to be effective 

 —the individual flowers being of indifferent 

 attractiveness. 



Prices, unless otherwise noted: Strong 2 

 yrs., each, 30c.; dozen, $3.00. From 5 inch 

 pots, each, 40c.; dozen, $4.00. 



EVERBLOOMING ROSES 



NOTE: — Owing to a shortage of labor during the past year we were obliged to curtail 

 propagation in some lines of stock. As much labor is required to grow roses properly, we cur- 

 tailed our propagation of Everblooming and Baby Rambler Roses, Although the stock we offer 

 is much less in volume than in former years i^many excellent varieties are omitted), what 

 plants we have for sale are of excellent quality and cannot fail to please. 



Of Everblooming Roses, we offer as formerly but one grade; large, strong plants in five- 

 inch pots, that will flower freely the first season. 



FARBENKONIGEN. (Queen of Colors). 



— It has long, pointed buds opening to large 

 double flowers. The color is bright pink and 

 rosy-crimson, overlaid with a satiny silver 

 sheen. A free bloomer. 



GRUSS AN TEPLITZ.— Its bright crim- 

 son flowers are freely produced all summer 

 and are fragrant. They are, however, rather 

 small and not very full. 



HERMOSA. — The flowers are small, very 

 double, rosy pink and fragrant. It is always 

 in bloom and gives you a cheering welcome.

 double flowers are of good size, soft pink with 

 lemon yellow at base of petals and are de- 

 lightfully fragrant. Has long pointed buds.

 larney and like it in every way except it has 

 more petals than its parent and its flowers are 

 pure waxy white.

 pink rose for blooming out of doors. The 

 buds are very large, handsome and of pointed

 ful and hardy Hybrid Tea Rose. Its rosy
