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



37 



A 



HARDY EVERBLOOMING ROSES 



(Continued) 



MONG the most beautiful of all Roses. 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 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 page 79. The varieties marked with an asterisk 

 (*) are also offered as the Lovett Dozen for 1927 on preceding page. 



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

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



DUCHESS OF WELLINGTON— Enormous, 

 tapering buds of golden orange, slowly opening to 

 very large saffron-colored flowers; sweetly scented; 

 of great size and substance. 



ECARLATE— One of the brightest of all red 

 roses and one ideally adapted for massing and bed- 

 ding. The individual flowers are of indifferent 

 shape and only moderate size but they are borne so 

 freely as to completely hide the plant. A very sat- 

 isfactory and long-lived variety, increasing in size 

 and free-flowering qualities year after year. 



EDITH PART— Rich red with suffusion of deep 

 salmon and coppery yellow. 



EDWARD MAWLEY— One of the finest of all 

 dark crimson Roses. A true perpetual-flowering

 veritable wonder. Very fine for bordering drive- 

 ways, because of its hardy, neat growth.

 pink with lighter pink reflex, and with a 

 distinct line of yet lighter pink on the 

 edges of the pointed petals.

 very durable.
