The Lovely Trio of 

 "LOVETT SISTERS" Climbing Roses 



(Van Fleet Hybrids) 



(See illustrations in color on back of this catalog.) 



Among rose hybridizers few have to their credit a 

 greater number of worth-while creations than the late 

 Dr. Van Fleet. All the Van Fleet hybrids are particu- 

 larly valuable in having deep glossy mildew-proof 

 foliage. In addition, the flowers are larger, of better 

 substance and more artistic form than those of most 

 other climbing roses. 



ALIDA LOVETT — In habit it is quite like the pop- 

 ular Van Fleet, but with larger and more beautiful 

 mildew-proof foliage, while the color of the flower is 

 brighter. See illustration on page 36, also in color on 

 back cover. 



Both buds and flowers are large, of ideal form, and 

 held on stiff stems a foot and a half to two feet long; 

 and the color is a lively bright shell-pink with shadings 

 of rich sulphur at the base of the petals — a combina- 

 tion that is both novel and beautiful. The plant is of 

 strong growth, a free bloomer and of ironclad hardihood; 

 flowering for a long season. It is also quite fragrant. 

 Price, heavy field-grown plants, each, $1.50; 

 dozen, $15.00. 



BESS LOVETT — Is of strong growth, with large, 

 glossy Silver Moon-like foliage, and, what is remark- 

 able in a climbing rose, the flowers are exquisitely fra- 

 grant. Flowers are lavishly produced; are of good size, 

 double, full and cupped form, being similar in make-up 

 to the Climbing American Beauty, but very much brighter red in color 

 and more fragrant by far. We are really somewhat disappointed in the 

 color reproduction on back cover because it does but faint justice to this 

 superb rose. The roses, which are very lasting, are also very beautiful 

 in bud and are borne on long stems, hence are admirable for cutting. 

 Price, heavy field-grown plants, each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00. 



MARY LOVETT — It is very much like the beautiful Dr. W. Van 

 Fleet Rose, except in that the large full flowers are pure snow-white. 

 They are held on long, strong stems and are delightfully sweet-scented. 

 It blooms in late summer and autumn, as well as in June. It is a strong 

 grower, with abundant mildew-proof foliage, and is exceedingly free 

 flowering. The flowers are very lasting. The finest and most valuable 

 climbing white rose as yet offered. Price, heavy field-grown plants, 

 each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00.
