The Lovett Sisters 



The Rose is Queen among Flowers — by Her own Virtue and by Popular Acclaim 



Hardy Climbing Roses 



Planted this fall, will start growth ver}' earl,v next spring, and produce very much more satisfactory 

 results than will Spring Planted plants. Our collection of Climbing Roses is, we believe, second to none. 



Each variety offered has been given the most rigid sort of test — we recommend ever}' one, if you have 

 the space.

We Grow and Recommend 



In our nurseries at Little Silver, and in Dela- 

 ware, we grow immense quantities of the choicest 

 Rambler Roses the world affords. Propagated from 

 fine parent plants, grown on clean land, properly 

 cultivated, and transi)lantcd, we challenge the 

 world to produce finer plants. 



Price, except as noted, strong two-year old 

 field-grown plants; each, 75c.; dozen, $7.50. 



American Pillar — One of the showiest; the 

 glossy, mildew-proof foliage and strong growth 

 make it particularly desirable for covering arbors, 

 summer houses, etc. The wealth of bloom is re- 

 markable, it being almost covered with imense 

 clusters of single three inch blossoms, when in 

 flower. Apple-blossom pink, white center, golden 

 stamens.
