Aida Lovett — The Premium Rose given away to patrons of the Monmouth Nursery
This new climbing rose may be described in brief by saying it is an improved Dr. Van Fleet; and I believe it to be the finest and most valuable climbing rose as yet upon the earth. It is a hybrid of Pres. Carnot and the Memorial Rose produced by the great hybridizer, Dr. Van Fleet, some ten years ago and has ever since its origin been under careful painstaking test. It has not developed a defect. In habit it is quite like the popular Van Fleet but with larger and more beautiful mildew-proof glossy foliage.
Both buds and flowers are large, of ideal form (see illustration of buds and flowers above) are held on strong stiff stems a foot and a half to two feet long and in color are a lively bright shell pink with shadings of rich sulphur at base of petals — a combination that is as beautiful as it is novel. The flowers are of remarkable substance and long lived; whether cut or left to remain upon the bush and are pleasantly perfumed. It is very much brighter and more cheerful in color with larger flowers than the highly prized Dr. Van Fleet. The plant is a strong grower, a free bloomer and of ironclad hardihood; flowering for a long season. When the flowers fade the petals fall at once, instead of remaining upon the bush and thus present an unsightly appearance as with many climbing roses—a very desirable property.
Those who order Roses from this catalog to the amount of five dollars will receive as a premium one plant of the Alida Lovett; those who order Roses to the amount of ten dollars will receive two plants of it. (Not more than two plants will be sent to any person or firm in any event). This rose is sent as a premium on orders for roses only — not on orders of any other goods. No plants for sale. It is sent out as a premium on orders for roses only.

Hardy Climbing and Trailing Roses
American Pillar. — In a class by itself and very valuable. So fine in habit and foliage it is well worth growing as a climber for covering summer houses, etc.- yet its wealth of bloom is truly wonderful. Correctly described as "a single flowering rose with blossoms three inches across, borne in immense clusters. Color, lovely apple blossom pink with bright golden stamens; followed in autumn with red hips." It exceeds in strong growth even the Crimson Rambler and Dorothy Perkins in fact, all other varieties.

Lord Penzance's Sweet Briars.
These lovely hybrid Sweet Briars, apart from their extreme beauty, are intensely interesting, being crosses between the well-known Sweet Briar and various other roses, such as Austrian Briar, varieties of Galllca, etc. All of them possess the deliciously-scented foliage and strong, vigorous growth of the Sweet Briar, and are as hardy as Oak trees: the flowers are of the most beautiful tints, and are produced in great profusion, presenting the delightful odor and the numerous golden stamens of the Sweet Briar flower, and much larger. A unique race of Roses of great beauty.
Amy Robsart. Beautiful deep rose; robust grower and free.
