40 J. T. LOVETT. INC., LITTLE SILVER, N. J.— ROSES 



Hardy Climbing and Trailing Roses 



There have appeared in recent years so many remarkably fine Climbing Roses, one is confused and 

 bewildered in attempting to properly describe them or to give them due credit. I recommend every variety 

 offered with confidence that all who plant them will be pleased when they flower. 



Do not hesitate to prune freely; the finest bloom is thus attained. All are large strong plants. 



BESS LOVETT ROSE 



The most fragrant of all climbing roses. 

 Produced by Dr. Van Fleet and belongs to 

 the mildew and blight proof class of roses 

 originated by him; such as the Dr. Van 

 Fleet, Silver Moon, Mary Lovett, etc. 

 It is of strong growth with large, glossy 

 Silver Moon-like foliage and what is re- 

 markable in a climbing rose, the flowers 

 are exquisitely fragrant — as fragrant as 

 those of the famous American Beauty or 

 any of the choice hybrid perpetual roses. 

 There is no other climbing rose I have ever 

 seen that at all approaches, much less rivals 

 this grand rose in perfume; its fragrance 

 being full, rich and sweet with the refresh- 

 ing piquancy of the Carnation. 



The roses which 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 

 in color and more fragrant by far. 



The color is a clear bright red; much like 

 the brilliant Ulrich Brunner, but of an even 

 livelier and more dazzling hue. The roses 

 which are very lasting, are also very beautiful 

 in bud and are borne on long strong stems 

 in the same way as are those of the Dr. Van 

 Fleet; hence are admirable for cutting. It 

 has a long season of blooming. Large plants, 

 in five inch pots, each $1.00; dozen, $10.00. 



BESS LOVETT ROSE 



MARY LOVETT 



The superb new pure white climbing rose pro- 

 duced by Dr. Van Fleet. It is very much like the 

 beautiful Dr. W. Van Fleet rose, except the large 

 full flowers are pure snow Avhite. 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 hybrid of the popular Kaiserin 

 Augusta Victoria and the Wichuriana and is a 

 strong grower with abundant mildew-proof leafage 

 and is exceedingly free flowering. The flowers 

 are very lasting if left upon the plant as when cut. 

 In writing of it. Dr. Van Fleet says: "I regard it as 

 altogether the best that has been produced," 

 adding "the buds cannot be excelled by any white 

 rose for purity of color and general high finish. 

 In the bud state it is exceedingly useful for cutting," 

 Beyond question, the finest and most valuable 

 climbing white rose as yet oft'ered. Large plants in 

 five-inch pots, each, 75c.; dozen, $7.50. MARY LOVETT
