The Outstanding Rose 

 Offer of the Year 



The number of good Roses runs into scores, yes, 

 hundreds, but not all of them, however, are what we 

 consider good garden Roses, i.e., Roses that be- 

 have uniformly well under average home-garden 

 conditions. Which to choose from so many 

 has always been more or less of a problem, 

 especially for newcomers to the ranks of Rose- 

 growers. 



And so, in keeping with a custom established 

 some years ago, we offer herewith what we con- 

 sider a collection that will do well under varying 

 conditions of soil and climate.

The Lovely Climbing Roses Shown 

 ■fc^ on Back Cover 



Dr. Van Fleet, who has given us many- 

 gems in both fruits and flowers, always con- 

 sidered the Lovett Sisters' Climbing Roses 

 one of his crowning achievements. We know 

 no other climbers that produce large flowers as 

 freely or of such superb form and delightful fra- 

 grance as the following: 



Alida Lovett. A bright, lively, shell-pink, with rich 

 shading of sulphur-yellow at base of petals. A strong 

 grower, of ironclad constitution, abundant bloomer 

 and quite fragrant. Field-grown plants, $1.50 each; 

 $15 per doz. 



Bess Lovett. Unrivaled in producing large, full, 

 double flowers of a clear bright red. Equally at- 

 tractive in bud and wide open flower, and absolutely 

 unrivaled among climbers for its delightful fra- 

 grance. Field-grown plants, $1 each; $10 per doz. 

 Mary Lovett. The chaste, pure white member of the 

 trio has the delightful habit of blooming again during 

 late summer or fall, and the flowers are wonderfully 

 fragrant. We consider this the finest and most 

 valuable white climbing Rose in cultivation. Field- 

 grown plants, $1 each; $10 per doz. 

 SPECIAL OFFER. We will send one strong field- 

 grown plant of each of the above three lovely Climbers 

 for $3.
