56 J. T. LOVETT. INC.. LITTLE SILVER, N. J.— TREES 



Ornamental Shade Trees 



Of these Maples, Elms, Poplars, Lindens, etc., I carry a full stock of varieties and sizes, prices of which 

 will be given upon request. Owing to the difficulty of packing Shade Trees in small quantities (especially 

 of the larger sizes) with other nursery stock, I list in this catalog the popular varieties only and these of 

 sizes that can readily be packed for shipment. 



They are all much too large for shipment by mail. They must be forwarded by freight or express. 



A dozen of a variety will be supplied at ten times the price of one (six for five times the price of one.) 

 Price per 100 promptly given upon request; also for varieties other than those named.

 the trees are covered with flowers, before the leaves 

 appear. They form somewhat spreading trees and 

 have attractive leaves.

 and rich purple-plum without and silvery rose 

 within. Flowers also in late summer and autumn.

 inches in diameter, pearly white, marked with lilac.

STELLATA (Halleana). — Of somewhat dwarf 

 habit and produces great masses of pure white semi- 

 double fragrant flowers very early. to 3 ft.,

As Magnolias are somewhat difficult to transplant 

 successfully, I dig them with balls of earth and 

 encase the roots and earth in burlap.
