"LOVETT SISTERS" CLIMBING 

 ROSES 



Price, heavy field-grown plants, each, $1.00; 

 dozen, $10.00. 

 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 particularly valuable in having deep, 

 glossy mildew-proof foliage. We count the 

 three Van Fleet Hybrids, offered on this page, 

 among the really triumphant achievements of 

 Dr. Van Fleet's life.

GARDENIA CLIMBER 



Alida Lovett — In habit it is quite like the popular Van 

 Fleet Rose, but with larger and more beautiful, mildew- 

 proof foliage, while the color of the flower is brighter. 

 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 shad- 

 ings of rich sulphur at the base of the petals — a com- 

 bination that is both novel and beautiful. The plant 

 is of strong growth, a free bloomer and of ironclad 

 hardihood; flowering for a long season. 

 Bess Lovett — Is of strong growth, with large, glossy 

 Silver Moon-like foliage, and, what is remarkable in a 

 climbing Rose, the flowers are exquisitely fragrant. 

 Flowers are lavishly produced; are of good size, double, 

 full and cupped form, being similar in makeup to the 

 Climbing American Beauty, but very much brighter red 

 in color and more fragrant by far. 



Mary Lovett — This is 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.
