 MARY LOVETT, 

 THE GREATEST OF 

 ALL WHITE CLIMBERS 



The Lovely Trio of 



"LOVETT SISTERS" 



AMONG rose hybridizers few have to their 

 credit a greater number of worth while crea 

 tions than the late Dr. Van Fleet. All the Van 

 Fleet hybrids are particularly valuable in having 

 deep glossy mildew-proof foliage. In addition, 

 the flowers are larger, of better substance, and more 

 artistic form than those of most other climbing roses. 

 We count the 3 Van Fleet Hybrids, offered on this 

 page, among the really triumphant achievements of 

 Dr. Van Fleet's life. 



ALIDA LOVETT— In habit it is quite like the 

 popular Van Fleet, but with larger and more beau- 

 tiful mildew-proof foliage, while the color of the flower 

 is brighter. 



Both buds and flowers are large, of ideal form, 

 and held on stiff stems a foot and a half to two feet 

 long; and the color is a lively bright shell-pink with 

 shadings of rich sulphur at the base of the petals — 

 a combination that is both novel and beautiful. 

 The plant is of strong growth, a free bloomer and 

 of ironclad hardihood; flowering for a long season. 

 It is also quite fragrant. Price, heavy field-

grown plants, each, $l.00r dozen, $10.00 

 BESS LOVETT— Is of strong growth, with large 

 glossy Silver Moon-like foliage, and, what is re- 

 markable in a climbing rose, the flowers are exqui- 

 sitely fragrant. Flowers 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 red in color and more fra- 

 grant by far. The roses, which are very lasting, 

 are also very beautiful in bud and are borne on long 

 stems. Price, heavy field-grown plants, each, 

 $1.00; dozen, $10.00. 



MARY LOVETT— It is very much like the beau- 

 tiful Dr. W. Van Fleet Rose, except in that the large 

 full flowers are pure snow-white. 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 strong grower, with abundant 

 mildew-proof foliage, and is exceedingly free flower- 

 ing. The finest and most valuable climbing white 

 rose as yet offered. Price, heavy field-grown 

 plants, each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00.
