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



■ 



A STRIKING EXAMPLE 



OF HARMONIOUS FOUNDATION PLANTING 



Choice Deciduous and Evergreen Shrubs and Dwarf Trees 



On the following pages we offer a critical selection of such deciduous and evergreen shrubs and small 

 trees as lend themselves readily to landscaping the home surroundings. In connection with the various 

 descriptions the reader will find specific recommendations for the particular purposes to which this plant 

 material may be put. Furthermore, we have confined our selection to such species and classes as are 

 easily packed and shipped. We handle other varieties, however, and should the reader be in search of some- 

 thing 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.
