LOVETT S NURSERY, LITTLE SILVER, N. J.— SHRUBS AND TREES 



03 



Choice Deciduous and Evergreen Shrubs and Dwarf Trees 



AS the slogan of the American Association of Nurserymen aptly puts it — "It's not a Home until it's 

 planted." The proper utilization of ornamental shrubs and trees adds mightily to the attractiveness 

 of the home surroundings. The classes and varieties recommended in the following pages lend them- 

 selves ideally to beautifying the suburban or country estate grounds. 



Within the limitations of this chapter we have intentionally confined our recommendations to such 

 species and classes as are easily packed and shipped. We handle other varieties, however, and should the 

 reader be in search of something not offered in these pages, an inquiry will be appreciated. 



The prices quoted are for well-developed, stocky plants. A dozen of any variety will be supplied for 

 ten times the price of one (six for five times the price of one), but this dozen rate may be used only when 

 six or more of one variety are taken. The hundred rate of any variety will be promptly sent if desired. 

 We solicit an opportunity to give special quotations upon lists of Shrubs and Ornamental Trees 

 for landscape planting. Shipment can be made by express or freight only; not by parcel post.

Hardy Ever- 

 green Azalea 



J. T. LOVETT 



Positively the most beautiful hardy Evergreen 

 Azalea we have ever seen. The flowers are pro- 

 duced in such great profusion as to completely 

 envelop the plant, and resemble, in size and make- 

 up, those of a fine Azalea Indica. They are rich, 

 brilliant, carmine-lake in color. The plants are 

 perfectly hardy and gave us the delightful experience 

 last winter of coming through in better shape than 

 any other variety of Evergreen Azaleas, of which 

 we grow quite a number. Flowers during late June 

 and July. 9 to 12 in., $2.00; 12 to 15 in., $3.00 

 each. For other Azaleas see top of page 64.
