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



HARDY ROSES 



We offer in the following pages one of the most 

 comprehensive collections of really worth-while 

 varieties to be found anywhere in the country. 

 Please do not misunderstand us; ours is not one of 

 the largest collections for it consists of only such 

 varieties as have proven their worth in gardens 

 throughout the country. They will do well in a 

 great variety of soils and, in the case of the Ever- 

 blooming or Hybrid Tea Roses, we can assure you 

 of a liberal display of flowers the very first year — 

 in fact, they have already bloomed in nursery 

 rows this past season. Of course, not all varieties 

 are equally free bloomers. All, however, will bloom 

 better if the bed, in which they are to be planted, is 

 liberally enriched with well-rotted manure, cow dung 

 preferred. # 



Dig out the bed to a depth of 12 inches, scatter- 

 ing 3 to 4 inches of good top soil in the bottom of the 



trench. On top of this put well decayed manure to 

 a depth of 4 to 5 inches and mix thoroughly with the 

 top soil already in the trench. Set the Rose bushes 

 2 or 3 feet apart each way, placing them a little 

 deeper than they have been growing in the nursery 

 row, as indicated by soil marks on the bark. All 

 budded Roses should be planted so that the place 

 where the bud was inserted comes at least an inch 

 or two beneath the surface of the new bed. 



All classes of Roses.should be pruned back severely 

 at time of planting. 



We supply both budded and own-root Roses. 

 Where varieties do best on their own roots we sup- 

 ply that type. On the other hand, where a variety 

 is constitutionally weak we supply budded stock. 

 We are satisfied that a better Rose plant product 

 than that which we offer in the following pages, is 

 not obtainable. 



All Roses offered are extra strong, two- to three-year -old field^grown plants, bound to make 

 a splendid display next June. When requested to do so, we will gladly ship Roses by parcel 

 post, provided cash is sent for postage as per table on inside back cover. 



HARDY EVERBLOOMING ROSES 



Uniform prices for all varieties (unless quoted otherwise), heavy field-grown plants, each, 

 90c; dozen, $9.00; 100, $60.00. 



Among the most beautiful of all roses, and although 

 hardy, they do best if given some protection 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 — removing same, of course, 

 in early spring. 



All varieties offered produce bloom continuously 

 from June until hard freezing weather, and not only 

 the year planted but for many years. 



ALEXANDER HILL GRAY— Among the best of 

 all yellow garden Roses, having attained the posi- 

 tion of a standard by which others are judged. The 

 long pointed buds develop into large flowers of per- 

 fect form. They open lemon yellow and assume a 

 darker shade as they reach full size and maturity. 

 One of the most satisfactory of all garden Roses, 

 with attractive, glossy, disease-resistant foliage. 



BESSIE BROWN — Creamy white. Large, full 

 and of very fine form.
