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

The Lovely Trio of the Lovett 

 Sisters' Climbing Roses 



These are all the result of efforts of the 

 famous hybridizer, Dr. Van Fleet, to whom we 

 are indebted for some of the choicest new cre- 

 ations in Roses. Among climbers the following 

 rank unsurpassed: — 



ALIDA LOVETT.— This may be described 

 in brief by saying it is an improved Dr. Van 

 Fleet. In habit it is quite like the popular Van 

 Fleet, but with larger and more beautiful mil- 

 dew-proof foliage, while the color of the flower 

 is brighter. See illustration below. 



Both buds and flowers 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 plant is of strong growth, a free bloomer 

 and of ironclad hardihood; flowering for a long 

 season. It is also quite fragrant. Price, from 

 held, each $1.50; dozen, $15.00. From pots, each, 

 $2.00; dozen, $20.00. 



BESS LOVETT.— Is of strong growth, with 

 large, glossy Silver Moon-like foliage, and, 

 what is remarkable in a climbing rose, the flow- 

 ers are exquisitely fragrant. There is no other 

 climbing rose we have ever seen that at all 

 approaches, much less rivals, this grand rose 

 in perfume. Flowers are lavishly produced; 

 are of good size, double, full and cupped 

 form (see illustration of a typical flower 

 above), being similar in make-up to the 

 Climbing American Beauty, but very much 

 brighter in color and more fragrant by far. 



The color is a clear bright red. The roses, 

 which are very lasting, are also very beau- 

 tiful in bud and are borne on long stems, 

 hence are admirable for cutting. Price, field- 

 grown, each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00. From 

 five-inch pots, each, $1.50; dozen, $15.00. 



MARY LOVETT.— The superb pure white 

 climbing rose. It is very much like the beau- 

 tiful Dr. W. Van Fleet Rose, except in that 

 the large full flowers are pure snow white. 

 They are held on long, strong stems and are 

 delightfulh' sweet-scented. It blooms in late 

 summer and autumn, as well as in June. It 

 is a strong grower, with abundant mildew- 

 proof foliage, and is exceedingly free flower- 

 ing. The flowers are very lasting if left 

 upon the plant or when cut. Beyond ques- 

 tion, the finest and most valuable climbing 

 white rose as 3^et offered. Price, field-grown 

 plants, each, $1.00; dozen. $10.00. From five- 

 inch pots, each, $1 50; dozen, $15.00. 



DR. W. VAN FLEET.— Delicate shell- 

 pink, mildly perfvmied flowers are produced 

 abundantly. The perfect pointed buds are 

 large and as perfect as though greenhouse 

 grown, and the open blooms are large and 

 most attractive. 



CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY.— 



This is of vigorous habit and the flowers 

 are of the same color and fragrance as the 

 popular variet}^ whose name it bears. It is 

 a wonderfully free bloomer. 



Note: There are other varieties of Roses 

 we can supply which, for lack of space, are 

 not listed in this catalog. This applies par- 

 ticularly to the Everblooming sorts. Com- 

 plete lists on request.
