J. T. LOVETT, INC., LITTLE SILVER, N. J.— ROSES 41 



AMERICAN PILLAR 



AMERICAN PILLAR.— In a class by itself and 

 very valuable. So fine in habit and foliage it is well 

 worth growing as a climber for covering summer 

 houses, etc. — yet its wealth of bloom is truly won- 

 derful. Correctly described as "a single flowering 

 rose with blossoms three inches across, borne in 

 immense clusters. Color, lovely apple blossom 

 pink with bright golden stamens; followed in 

 autumn with red hips." It exceeds in strong growth 

 even the Crimson Rambler and Dorothy Perkins — 

 in fact, all other varieties. (See cut.) 



AVIATEUR BLERIOT.— Termed the New 

 Yellow Rambler. This has large clusters of medium 

 sized double flowers of saffron yellow, shading to 

 golden yellow at the centre. Plant of strong growth 

 with glossy insect and disease proof foliage. 



CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY.— A very 

 valuable American rose descended from American 

 Beauty, Wichuriana and a tea rose. It is of vigor- 

 ous habit and the flowers are of the same color and 

 fragrance as the popular variety whose name it 

 bears, though they are not so large. It is a wonder- 

 fully free bloomer under favorable conditions.

 upon the grounds of Mrs. I. B. Hosford near Red 

 Bank, N. J.

CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY 



CHRISTINE WRIGHT.— Of strong growing 

 habit with large dark green foliage, immune to 

 disease. The double flowers are \'ery large, of 

 perfect form, bright rosy pink in color and beautiful 

 in bud and when full blown. An exquisite rose; 

 rivalling but by no means equalling the Alida 

 Lovett. 



CLIMBING CLOTHILDE SOUPERT.— A con- 

 tinuous blooming rose. Its large well-formed 

 flowers are borne in loose clusters, are perfectly 

 double and are French white with a distinct center 

 of silvery rose. Blooms all summer, 



CRIMSON RAMBLER.— Produces a profusion 

 of large clusters of deep crimson semi-double 

 flowers. A splendid variety for covering walls, ve- 

 randas, pillars, etc., being so vigorous in growth as 

 to make shoots of from eight to ten feet during the 

 season; or it may be pegged down or grown in bush 

 form with rich and striking effect. Foliage subject 

 to mildew. 



DR. W. VAN FLEET.— Produced by Dr. Van 

 Fleet and the finest pink climbing rose by far, so 

 far introduced. In fact, the superb flowers are 

 produced on long stems and equal in size and 

 beauty fine roses grown under glass. A strong 

 grower with abundant, beautiful foliage and is 

 extremely hardy. Flowers when open run four 

 inches and over in diameter. The center is built 

 high, petals beautifully undulated and cupped. 

 The color is a delicate shade of flesh pink on the 

 surface, deepening to rosy flesh in the center. 

 The flowers are full and double, delicately per- 

 fumed; buds pointed. (See cut.) 



HIAWATHA. — A strong growing variety with 

 single flowers. An authority on roses says of it: 

 "There is no other rose so brilliant as Hiawatha, 

 It must be seen to be appreciated. Its flowers are 

 about lyi inches across and produced in long pen- 

 dulous sprays, frequently with from 40 to 50 flow- 

 ers on a spray. In color it is a brilliant ruby- 

 carmine with a clear white eye and a mass of golden 

 stamens." 



LADY GAY. — I can see no difference whatever 

 in this and Dorothy Perkins. I mistrust the two 

 are identical and the correct name is Lady Gay. 



Washington, D. C, Sept. 27, 1916. 

 First and foremost, I want to tell you that the Dr. Van Fleet 

 Rose and the American Pillar have been greatly admired by 

 everybody — indeed, I have directed more people than I can 

 count where to buy them. They certainly are beautiful. 

 Now my St. Regis Raspberries have surpassed anything in 

 the way of berries I ever saw and the people around here can't 

 understand how they bear until frost overtakes them.
