A MONG the serious men who assist nature in creating new plants, none ranked higher than the 
k. late Dr. Van Fleet. During our nearly half a century of doing business, it has been our 
privilege and pleasure to cooperate with Dr. Van Fleet in the introduction of many of his fine 
creations in fruits and flowers to American home gardeners. And among them none have received 
more enthusiastic reception—deservedly so, than the lovely 
Climbing Roses , “THE LOVETT SISTERS” 
Alida Lovett —(See plant alongside)—In habit of growth quite like the popular Van Fleet but with 
larger and more beautiful mildew-proof foliage. Both buds and flowers are large, of ideal form, held on 
stiff stems a foot and a half to two feet long. Color, a lively bright shell pink with shadings of 
rich sulphur at the base of petals—a combination both novel and beautiful. It is quite fragrant. 
Price, field-grown plants, each $1.50, dozen $15.00; from pots, each $2.00, dozen $20.00. 
Bess Lovett —(See oval insert, flower greatly reduced)—Of strong growth, with large, glossy silvery foliage, while the 
flowers are exquisitely fragrant. There is no other climbing rose that approaches this grand rose in fragrance. The 
roses, which are lavishly produced, are of good size, double full and cupped form. 
The color is a clear bright red. The roses, which are very lasting, are also very beautiful in bud and are borne on 
long, strong stems, hence are admirable for cutting. Price, field-grown plants, each $1.00, dozen $10.00; from pots, 
each $1.50, dozen $15.00.
