LOVETT'S NURSERY, LITTLE SILVER, N.J.— HARDY ROSES 



Roses by the mile — a pleasure to the eye, a joy to one's soul. 



HARDY ROSES 



When requested to do so, we will gladly ship Roses b}- parcel post, provided cash is sent 

 for postage as per table on inside back cover. 



All Roses offered in this catalog are strong plants, some two and some three years old. We 

 do not consider it good business to offer one year old or younger plants which, unless given the 

 very best of care, almost always prove disappointing: and all our Everblooming Roses are budded 

 on that best of all stocks, the Japanese multiflora, unless marked O.R., which signifies that those 

 sorts are on their own roots. : j ; a' jit! ...l i A.L^ 



HARDY EVERBLOOMING ROSES 



Again we offer our patrons not only an un- 

 usually large quantit}^ of Everblooming Roses, 

 but an assortment of varieties which is, we 

 think, the finest we have ever had the pleasure 

 of offering. 



This collection of varieties has been made 

 with endeavor to choose sorts which are not 

 only among the most beautiful, but also hardy. 

 Even so, it is best to give all varieties some pro- 

 tection in winter. A light covering of strawy 

 manure is all that is necessary; or an equally 

 efficient protection may be obtained by heaping 

 soil, say, eight inches deep about each plant — 

 remo^■ing same, of course, in early spring. 



The shock to Everblooming Roses is so great, 

 when taken from the nursery row and planted 

 in the garden that several weeks, or even 

 months, are required for them to recuperate. 

 Because of this we grow all our roses of this 

 class in pots In shipping these large sturdy 

 plants, they are taken from the pots in which 

 they are growing and are sent with all their 

 roots and the earth about them undisturbed. 

 \\'hen thus shipned and jolanted in their new 

 homes they continue to grow and flower with- 

 out check. 



Prices for two- and three-year-old plants 

 from five inch pots, each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00; 

 100, $75.00 (unless otherwise noted). 



Please Note. — For best results, plant Ever- 

 blooming Roses at least an inch and a half 

 deeper than thev have stood in the pots.
