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



THE CHOICEST CLIIV 



AUNT HARRIET.— Originated by the fa- 

 mous Rose-hybridizer, Dr. W. Van Fleet. In 

 full bloom it is amazingly fine, with scarlet- 

 crimson Roses loading every branch. Awarded 

 Certificate of Merit, American Rose Society. 



CRIMSON RAMBLER.— Produces a pro- 

 fusion of large clusters of deep crimson, semi- 

 double flowers. A splendid variety for cover- 

 ing walls, verandas, etc. Subject to mildew. 



ELIZABETH ZEIGLAR.— In both form 

 and color it is way ahead of the ever popular 

 "Dorothy Perkins." A strong grower and pro- 

 fuse bloomer, and the flowers last a long time. 



CLIMBING ORLEANS.— Profuse bearer 

 of clusters of semi-double flowers that are 

 geranium red, edged with bright carmine, and 

 with white centers; exceedingly showy. 



ERNEST GRANDPIER.— This is a splen- 

 did variety to grow for cut flowers. It is glisten- 

 ing white, and so double it has the apnearance 

 of a Cape Jasmine. A thrifty grower. 



EXCELSA (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. Really an im- 

 proved Crimson Rambler. 



FRAU OCTAVIE HESSE.— In both habit 

 of growth and mildew resistance this very 

 much resembles Ernest Grandpier. The color, 

 however, is a real deep pink, almost cerise. 



GARDENIA (Hardy Marechal Niel).— The 



very pretty pointed buds of this rose are nan- 

 keen yellow, turning.- to waxy white when ex- 

 panded, and are held on long stems. 



;ING ROSES— Continued 



HIAWATHA. — A sturdy variety, producing 

 abundant single flowers of a brilliant ruby car- 

 mine, with a clear white eye and a mass of 

 golden stamens. 



LADY GAY. — A most profuse bloomer, in 

 large loose clusters. Its color is soft cherry 

 pink, changing to bluish white. A large plant, 

 with cherr}^ pink buds, soft pink flowers and 

 rich green foliage. 



PAUL'S SCARLET CLIMBER.— A very 

 fine English sort of recent introduction. It 

 surely has won a place for itself, with its large, 

 brilliant scarlet flowers produced in glorious 

 profusion. Though but semi-double, the flow- 

 ers are of surprisingly large size and are borne 

 long after the June bloomers have seen their 

 day. Winner of many highest awards, includ- 

 ing Gold Medal of National Rose Society of 

 England. Heavy 2-year-old field-grown plants, 

 $1.00 each; $10.00 per dozen. From pots, each, 

 $1.50; dozen, $15.00. 



PURITY. — A single white of exceptional 

 size and beauty. Pronounced the finest single 

 white in cultivation to date. Heavy 2-year-old 

 field-grown plants, each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00. 

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



SILVER MOON.— Its buds are exquisite in 

 form and color, and its many semi-double 

 flowers are very pretty and decorative; open- 

 ing a soft nankeen yellow and quickly chang- 

 ing to pure silvery white; are four inches or 

 more in diameter and slightly perfumed. A 

 giant in growth, with abundant, glossy leaves.
