J. T. LOVETT, INC., LITTLE SILVER, N. J.— HARDY SHRUBS 51 



RHODODENDRON 



The Rhododendron is conceded by landscape 

 gardeners and other horticultural experts to be the 

 most beautiful and valuable of all hardy plants. 

 In addition to the annual festival of bloom it 

 furnishes in June, its broad, massive, elegant 

 foliage wins for it first place in the"^estimation and 

 admiration of all. The number of named hybrids 

 are legion, many of which are not entirely hardy 

 in America. I have, therefore, reduced my list to 

 the following "ironclad" varieties; those which 

 have been tried and not found wanting. They are, 

 however, among the most beautiful of all Rhodo- 

 dendrons. 



ALBUM ELEGANS.— Blush, changing to white. 



ABRAHAM LINCOLN.— Bright red. 



CATAWBIENSE GRANDIFLORUM. — Rosy 

 lilac; very hardy and very fine. 



EVERESTIANUM.— Rosy lilac, fluted flowers. 



GEN. GRANT.— Rosy scarlet. 



GIGANTEUM.— Bright crimson. 



LEE'S DARK PURPLE.— Deep purple. 



PARSON'S GRANDIFLORUM.— Purplish rose. 



PURPUREUM ELEGANS.— Pinkish purple. 



ROSEUM SUPERBUM.— Bright rosy lilac. 



Handsome well-budded plants, $1.25 each. 

 (A set, one each of the ten varieties, for $10.00.) 



MAXIMUM or GREAT BAY.— Our native 

 Rhododendron of the northern states, and superb 

 for massing in landscape planting. I can supply 

 it of any size desired or assorted sizes, dug with 

 balls of earth in carload lots, and of superior quality 

 at very low prices. 



ROSA (Rose) 



RUGOSA (Japanese or Ramanus Rose). — 



Of sturdy, stocky habit, with a wealth of large, rich 

 green leaves, and produces great numbers of large 

 single^rose-colored flowers all summer, followed by 

 large,^showy fruits or "hips." Frequently used as a 

 hedge'plant. 1^ to 2 ft., 20c.; 2 to 2}4 ft., 30c. each. 



SAMBUCUS (Elder) 



NIGRA AUREA (Golden Elder).— One of the 



most highly colored and best of yellow-leaved 

 shrubs. The large leaves are a very bright lemon 

 yellow which color they retain remarkably well 

 throughout the summer and autumn. 2 to 3 ft., 

 25c.; 3 to 4 ft., 30c. each. 



RHODOTYPUS 



KERRIOIDES. — A Japanese shrub of medium 

 size, with such pretty foliage it presents a pleasing 

 appearance when out of bloom. During late May, 

 it has a profusion of large, single, white flowers and 

 it is then indeed beautiful. Stocky plants, 2 to 3 

 feet, 25c. each. 



SYMPHORICARPUS 



RACEMOSUS (Snowberry).— An old favorite. 



Has small pink flowers in July and August, which are 

 followed by great numbers of large pure white 

 waxlike berries in clusters, which remain until 

 freezing weather. Conspicuous and interesting. 



VULGARIS (Indian Currant. Coral Berry).— 



Of low growing and graceful habit with numerous 

 small pink flowers in August and September, followed 

 by dull red berries, literally covering the branches and 

 which remain nearly all winter. 

 Either variety. 2 toS ft., 20c. each. 



Mercer Co., N. J.. Oct. 2S, 1916. 

 Your Caco Grapes are all you claim for them. I have had 

 74 varieties in my vineyard. The only new variety of grape 

 that I have found in recent years that is valuable is your Caco. 



WEBSTER EDGERLY. 



Your Caco Grape is th» best grape I have ever tasted.
