Pittsburg, Penn., March 7th, 1918.

Last year I bought some plants of you. I bought also from other nur-

series. Your plants were better stock thanI received from any other
place. Mrs. R. S. ROBBINS.

STEUBENRAUCH PEACHES.

THE LOVETT SISTER ROSES.

Toughina Peach.

A group of Peaches that are truly wonderful. They were pro-
duced by Mr. J. W. Steubenrauch of Texas, the originator of the
Carman Peach, and in addition to fine appearance and high qual-
ity, they are so hardy in tree and blossom as to insure a heavy crop
of Peaches every year. / je Lb

__-Anita, Frank, Eizzie, hens and Toughina are all yellow
Acohed varieties, and all of them have been thoroughly tested for
many years.

TOUGHINA..---In size this Peach is very large, some speci-
mens weighing twelve ounces. The coloris a bright yellow,
nearly covered with beautiful red. Fuzz, what there is of it, is
very short. Quality is far better than Elberta, or even Hale,
whichI have growing close by. Owing to its blooming later, it
escapes injury by cold when the Elbertas are killed. Speaking
of the Hale, it is certainly ahead of Elberta and side by side,
Toughina is yet decidedly ahead of Hale.

The name was given to it by reason of its remarkable ship-
ping properties; for in addition to its certainty to bear peaches
of great size and high quality, beyond a doubt it surpasses by far
all other peaches as ashipper. On two different occasions, spec-
imens sent us by parcel post from Texas arrived in perfect condi-
tion, and after being kept a week in our office after arrival, were
found to be of very superior quality. The illustration is of one
thus received.

The Rural New Yorker says: ‘‘ The Toughina seems to us of
better quality than J. H. Hale and it appears to be an acquisition.”

Alida Lovett Rose.

These Climbing Roses are, to say the least, remarkable roses;
and after a thorough and careful test, we sincerely believe each to
be the finest and best climbing rose of its color as yet produced.

They are all hybrids produced by that greatest of hybridiz-
ers, Dr. W. Van Fleet, and have characteristics in common,
namely: All are of strong, vigorous growth and entirely hardy ;
all have large, handsome, glossy, ‘mildew proof” foliage; all
are very free flowering and flower for a long season; all have
large, exquisitely formed buds and large, beautifully modeled
flowers, that are held on long, stiff stems (hence ideal for cutting’;
all have delightfully fragrant Mowers (an exceptional property in
a climbing rose) and the flowers of all three are unusually endur-
ing. An added merit and an important property, all shed their
blooms promptly as soon as they have faded.

Alida Lovett is lively clear shell pink with shadings of sul-
phur at the base of the petals.

Bess Lovett is clear bright scarlet-crimson; richly fragrant.
Mary Lovett is the purest snow white throughout.
Prices, strong 2 years plants or plants from 5 inch pots:

Alida Lovett, each, 75c; dozen, $7.50.
Bess Lovett, each, 50c; dozen, $5.00.
Mary Lovett, each, 50c; dozen, $5.00.

T think you have roses of unusual merit in at least two of the Lovetts.
Alida Lovett and Bess Lovett, as in bloom in the Washington rose-var-
den of the American Rose Society, have shown this year real supericr-
ity.—J. Horace McFaruanp, [ President Amer. Rose Society).

Mary Lovett. aptly described as a white flowered Dr. Van Fleet, ts

another triumph of the successful hybridist, Dr. Van Fleet.—GARDEN
MAGAZINE.

CALIFORNIA PRIVET.

Original California Privet Hedge as it now appears.

Introduced by the Monmouth Nursery as a hedge
plant in the early seventies and now more largely
planted by far, for producing ornamental hedges,
than any other shrub. We are the largest growers of
it of any nursery in the world. At present we have
a stock of over two million plants of California Privet,
of very superior quality, both in top and root, that
cannot fail to please all who buy any of it. All the

Sonoma County, California, March 14, 1918.

We decided to send a small order to you, because we find that your
catalog tells the truth. Looking through your catalog. the varieties of
fruit we know if they have a fault you mention it every time.

We were raised at the Pine Hill Nurseries, Buffalo. N.Y. I remember

Sussex County, New Jersey, April 23. 1918.
