LOVETT'S NURSERY, LITTLE SILVER, N. J.— ROSES— CLIMBING 



DOROTHY PERKINS, AN EVER POPULAR FAVORITE OF PROFUSE BLOOMING POWER 



The Choicest Climbing, Trailing & Pillar Roses 



The "Ramblers," as they are commonh^ called, are easily among the most useful of all plants 

 for home- and estate-grounds. While in bloom, they are objects of beauty difficult to surpass. 

 The remainder of the year they serve the useJul purpose of clothing unsightly fences, gracing 

 trellises and keeping out (perhaps) unwelcome intruders. 



The late Dr. Van Fleet, who was our neighbor, did much to eliminate constitutional weaknesses 

 among Rambler Roses. His new hybrids, many of which we offer in the following pages, surpass 

 other Ramblers in both size of flowers and luxuriant foliage. We call special attention to the 

 three varieties, called The Lovett Sisters, offered on page 9. They represent the highest perfec- 

 tion yet attained in this class of Roses. 



Our collection of Climbing Roses is, we believe, second to none. Every variety offered in this 

 catalog has been given the most rigid sort of test, so that we can recommend each one of the 

 varieties with entire confidence that the}' will please all who plant them.
