LOVETTS NURSERY, LITTLE SILVER, N. J, — HARDY GARDEN ROSES 



Various ROSES 



of Qreat Hardiness 



RUGOSA ROSES 



Price, heavy two-year-old plants 

 75c. each; $7.50 per dozen. (Ex- 

 cept as noted.) 



CONRAD F. MEYER — An excep- 

 tionally vigorous variety producing, un- 

 der favorable conditions, canes 8 feet or 

 more in height. With careful training, 

 some remarkably fine garden effects may 

 be created with the help of this Rose. 

 The clear silvery-rose flowers are very 

 large, quite double, and showy in the extreme. They 

 are borne on long strong stems and are highly fragrant, 

 a combination that makes this a fine Rose for cutting. 



F. J. GROOTENDORST — Large clusters of bright 

 orange-red flowers are freely borne throughout the season. Fine for 

 hedges as well as a specimen plant. Price, heavy two-year-old 

 plants, $1.00 each; $10.00 per dozen. 



NEW CENTURY — Clear, flesh pink, with deeper center and creamy 

 edges. Delightfully fragrant and considered one of the finest Rugosas. 



SIR THOMAS LIPTON — This Van Fleet hybrid may be 

 termed the white form of C. F. Meyer described above. 



OTHER HYBRIDS 



HARRISON'S YELLOW — One of the finest semi-double, bright 

 golden yellow roses. The flowers cover the whole of the plant in 

 early Spring, and are very fragrant. 



SOLEIL D'OR — Orange-gold and pink shaded flowers of ex- 

 ceptional fragrance. Though the flowers are generally of poor 

 shape, it is easily the most gorgeously colored rose in cultivation. 



Price, either of above, each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00. 



ROSA HUGONIS 



Like many other rare floral gems from the Orient, this variety 



spectacular in its exotic beauty. 



ROSA 



HUGONIS — 

 THE YELLOW 

 WONDER FROM 

 CHINA 



MOSS HOSES THE 



OLD-FASHIONED FAVORITES 



Imagine a many branched shrub, 

 6 to 8 feet tall, rearing slender 

 sprays in all directions, grace- 

 fully arching beneath loads of 



bright yellow, single flowers, an inch and a half in dia- 

 meter — and you have Rosa Hugonis at its best. 



The flowers are borne on the previous season's growth 

 and appear very early in the spring, before the foliage. 

 Later in the season, it throws up many new branches 

 (next season's flowering wood) and these branches are 

 of a beautiful deep red color, which makes the shrub 

 a garden attraction almost throughout the growing sea- 

 son. Strong field-grown plants, each, $1.50; 

 dozen, $15.00. 



MOSS ROSES 



These have exceptionally heavy, almost leather-like 

 foliage, while the calix of each flower is surrounded 

 thickly with mossy sepals. (See illustration.) Moss 

 Roses belong among the hardiest of the species, form 

 impenetrable hedges and are quite free bloomers, while 

 the flowers are delightfully fragrant. 



We offer three Varieties as follows: 



CRESTED MOSS — A delightfully fragrant sort; of 

 pale rosy pink, crested with rich green shadowy moss. 



SALET — Rosy pink; very double, with the true 

 Moss Rose odor. Very vigorous and blooms well. 



WHITE BATH — One of the very finest. 



Price: Any of above three varieties, heavy two- 

 year-old plants, 75c. each; $7.50 per dozen. 



Special Offer : We will send one each of above three 



unique Moss Roses for $2.00.
