IN CIRCLE:— 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 oh this page, among the really triumphant achievements of Dr. Van Fleet's life. ALIDA LOVETT—In habit it is quite like the popular V^an 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- above:—BESS LOVETT, SHOWING THE LUXURIANT FOLI- AGE TYPICAL TO ALL THREE LOVETT SISTERS ROSES (Fan Fleet Hybrids) CLIMBING ROSES grown plants, each, $1.00; 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 theClimbingAmerican Beauty, but ver^- 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.
