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



DOROTHY PERKINS 



DOROTHY PERKINS.— A charming and very 

 valuable rose of American origin, producing clear, 

 shell pink, double Roses in clusters that are very 

 lasting. It is a strong grower, very hardy and a 

 marvelously profuse bloomer. Being superior 

 to the Pink Rambler and of the same color, I have 

 discarded the last-named variety. (See cut.) 



EXCELSA (Red Dorothy Perkins).— Described 

 as a brilliant Crimson Rambler with Wichuraiana 

 habit and foliage. Can greater praise be readily 

 said? It has the vigor and profuse bloom of the 

 Dorothy Perkins and its double flowers of good size 

 are borne in clusters of thirty to forty each. 



GARDENIA (Hardy Marechal Niel).— The 



buds are nankeen yellow, pointed and very pretty; 

 the expanded flowers change to waxy white and 

 are held on long stems. It is of vigorous habit, 

 with glossy foliage and is a profuse bloomer for a 

 long period. (See cut.) 



MRS. LOVETT.— A double, bright pink, sweet- 

 scented form of Rosa Wichuraiana. It retains all 

 the excellent properties of its parent and in addition 

 has double flowers — two to two and one-half inches 

 in diameter — and are of the most cheerful, bright 

 rosy-pink imaginable. In every other respect it 

 is a true Wichuraiana. 



PHILADELPHIA.— A seedling of, and an im- 

 provement upon, the glorious Crimson Rambler. 

 It is not so strong a grower, but blooms about two 

 weeks earlier, while the flowers and clusters are 

 larger and of a brighter crimson. 



GARDENIA 



SILVER MOON 



SILVER MOON. — An unique and extremely in- 

 teresting Rose. It is a hybrid of the Cherokee 

 Rose of the South and the Wichuraiana. Its buds 

 are exquisite in form and color, and the semi- 

 double flowers are very pretty and decorative; 

 opening a soft nankeen yellow and quickly changing 

 to pure silvery white, are four inches or more in 

 diameter and delightfully perfumed. It is a giant 

 in growth, with abundant large glossy leaves. 



TAUSENDSCHOEN (Thousand Beauties).— 



A strong growing variety and covered from early 

 June until July with clusters of semi-double flowers 

 of every shade, from white to deep pink. The 

 roses are produced in a bewildering profusion. 



VEILCHENBLAU (Blue Rambler).— In habit 



somewhat like Crimson Rambler with larger flowers 

 borne in a loose cluster. I feel constrained to say, 

 this unique Rose has been given greater praise 

 than it deserves. True, it comes nearer to being a 

 blue Rose than any other, yet its name "Violet blue" 

 is misleading, for it is not a "true blue." 



WICHURAIANA (Memorial Rose).— A perfect 

 trailer, hugging the ground closely. It grows from 

 ten to fifteen feet in a season, and is densely fur- 

 nished with dark green, glossy foliage. The flowers 

 are single, pure white, with bright golden yellow 

 stamens and with the Banksia Rose fragrance. 



WHITE DOROTHY PERKINS.— A sport of the 

 popular Dorothy Perkins and like it in every way 

 except its flowers are white. Unfortunately the 

 flowers are not a very clear white and must be seen 

 in mass to be effective — the individual flowers 

 being of indifferent attractiveness. 



WHITE RAMBLER and YELLOW RAMBLER 



— These two roses are similar in habit to Crimson 

 Rambler; the former producing white and the latter 

 clear lemon-yellow roses in clusters.

 old, field grown plants, each, 25c.; dozen,
