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



THE CHOICEST CLIMBING ROSES (Concluded) 



FRAU OCTAVIE HESSE — In both habit of 

 growth and mildew resistance this very much re- 

 sembles 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 nankeen 

 yellow, turning to waxy white when expanded, and 

 are held on long stems. 



HIAWATHA — Produces an abundance of sin- 

 gle flowers of brilliant ruby carmine, with a clear 

 white eye and 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 cherry 

 pink buds and soft pink flowers. 



PURITY — A white of exceptional size and beauty. 

 Pronounced the finest semi-double white in cul- 

 tivation to date. Heavy 2-year-old field-grown 

 plants, each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00. 



SILVER MOON — Its buds are exquisite in 

 form and color, and its many semi-double flowers 

 are very pretty and decorative, opening a soft nan- 

 keen yellow and quickly changing to pure silvery 

 white; are four inches or more in diameter and 

 slightly perfumed. 



TAUSENDSCHOEN (Thousand Beauties) — 



A fine rose indeed. It is a very strong 

 grower, and from early June until well 

 into July it is literally covered with clus- 

 ters of decorative, semi-double flowers of 

 varied shades of deep to light pink and 

 white. Its bloom is produced in actually 

 bewilflering profusion. A peculiar char- 

 acteristic of this variety is that it has no 

 thorns. 



VONDEL — An everblooming climb- 

 ing rose. The flowers are apple blossom 

 pink, semi-double, fragrant, and are pro- 

 duced in clusters throughout the summer, 

 but are rather small. 



WICHURAIANA (Memorial Rose) 



— A perfect trailer, hugging the ground 

 closely. It grows from ten to fifteen feet 

 in a season, and possesses 

 dense, dark green, glossy 

 foliage. The flowers are 

 single, pure white, with 

 golden yellow stamens 

 and of delightful fra- 

 grance. 



WHITE DOROTHY 

 PERKINS — A sport of 

 the popular Dorothy 

 Perkins, and like it in 

 every way except that its 

 flowers are white. Free 

 in bloom and with dis- 

 ease-resisting foliage. 



Price, all varieties 

 Climbing Roses (ex- 

 cept as noted), strong 

 two-year field-grown 

 plants, 75c. each; 

 $7.50 per dozen. 



Rose Novelty, Mary Wallace 



A Dr. Van Fleet hybrid, of the Pillar Rose type, 

 forming strong upright bushes 6 to 8 feet tall. It 

 blooms with great freedom during June, and again 

 bears a liberal crop of flowers during late summer 

 and fall. The semi-double flowers are of bright, 

 clear rose pink color with salmon tints at base of 

 petals. It is the largest of any Wichuraiana hybrid, 

 flowers exceeding 4 inches in diameter. The lovely, 

 glossy foliage has proved exceptionally disease- 

 resistant and adds considerably to the attractive- 

 ness of the variety. Strong field-grown plants, 

 $1.50 each; $15.00 per dozen. 



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 flowers are of surprisingly large 

 size and are borne long after the June bloomers have 

 seen their day. Winner of many highest awards. 

 Heavy 2-year-old field-grown plants, $1.00 

 each; $10.00 per dozen.
