cADVICE AND TERMS
IMPORTANT
A discount of 10 per cent is allowed on all orders from this catalog amounting to $5.00 or
more AT EACH, DOZEN OR 100 RATES; provided always that
remittance in full is sent with order.
Please bear in mind this discount DOES NOT APPLY TO 1000 RATES in any instance.
TERMS OF PAYMENT—Cash, but not cash in advance, except for orders of $10.00 or less. I ship the goods
and mail bill at once and expect payment within a few days. Persons not known to me will kindly give reference
with order. I must ask to be excused from opening an account for ten dollars or less, hence require cash before
shipment for all orders of this character. I prefer to make no shipthents C. 0. D., but will ship in this way when twen-
ty-five per cent. of the amount is sent with the order, with returm charges added. Kemit by Postal Money Order,
Registered Letter, Draft or Express Money Order. PLEASE DO NOT SEND POSTAGE STAMPS. Address all
letters: J. T. LOVETT, LITTLE SILVER, N. J.; Western Union Telegraph, Little Silver, N. J.; Postal Telegraph,
Red Bank, N. J. Long Distance Telephone Connections with all points in the United States.
PRICES of this Catalog abrogate previous quotations. The prices quoted are for the quantities specified, but six,
fifty or five hundred OF A VARIETY will be supplied at dozen, hundred and thousand rates respectively; however, hun-
dred and thousand lots cannot be made up at hundred rates of less than fifty of a variety; and thousand lots cannot
be made up at thousand rates of less than five hundred of a variety.
HOW TO ORDER—Order early. Small favors thankfully received always, but I cannot undertake to fill an
order of less than one dollar, as the cost of recording and filling it would exceed the small profit of same.
Kindly use Order Sheet, and be sure to write your mame and address plainly. Give Post Office, County and State—
and do this every time you write to me. Be particular to state how the goods are to be shipped; whether by mall,
express or freight, and state plainly to what point goods are to be sent. Keep a correct copy of the order and
‘check off the Plants, etc., when they arrive. Persons sometimes forget what they order, and make unjust com-
plaints. Ladies will oblige me by prefixing their names with ‘Miss’? or ‘“Mrs.”? as the case may be. I will do my
utmost to comply with the wishes of patrons to pack additions to an order, or subsequent orders, in one package, or
to make reasonable changes in an order, but I cannot promise to do so. During the rush of the shipping season, when
many orders are received and dispatched in a day, it would, im some cases, be almost impossible to comply. No
change or countermand of an order can be considered final without my written consent.
SHIPPING—I deliver all goods te forwarders here without charge, after which my control ceases, consequently
my responsibility also. I particularly caution patrons against ordering Perennial Plants and Strawberry Plants
shipped by freight; they should always go by express, or in small lots by mail. Transportation charges on all
goods shipped by freight or express are to be paid by the purchaser, unless by special arrangement.
MAILING—I send plants by mail postpaid, if requested, wherever so noted, in connection with the price. When-
ever the price does not include postage, the rate of postage is given on all mailable articles, under their respective
headings. Where nothing is said as to postage, the goods are unmailable. When plants are to be sent by mail, it
must be so stated in the order.
PACKING is executed with the utmost care. Special pains are taken to pack lightly, thereby reducing the ex-
pense of transportation to a minimum. All goods at prices quoted are packed free. Everything is labeled.
SUBSTITUTION—It is my custom, should the supply of a variety become exhausted, (which will occasionally oc-
cur in all establishments), to substitute in its stead a similar sort. When it is desired that I shall not do this, it
must be stated in the order. To simply affix the words “No Substitution” is all that is necessary.
CLAIMS, if any, must be made upon receipt of goods, when they will be carefully and cheerfully examined and,
if just, all made satisfactory. Claims made after fifteen days from receipt of goods will not be entertained. I send out
only good stock in good condition, carefully packed, in all cases; but success or failure depends in so large a degree
upon the care and management after received, that I do not, BECAUSE I CANNOT, undertake to guarantee stock to
live.
GUARANTEE—I warrant my steck true to name, with the explicit understanding that should any prove untrue,
I will return the money paid or replace it with other stocks; but I am not liable for damage beyond this.
indication of the purity of my stock is the fact that customers of former years continue to deal with me.
UNITED STATES EXPRESS, ADAMS AND SOUTHERN EXPRESS SHIPMENTS—I am able to ship direct to any
point reached by these companies, ard to all points of the American, Wells-Fargo, National or Pacific Express via
New York City. A discount of 20 per cent. is allowed on merchandise rates per 100 pounds, upon all shipments of
Perennial Plants, Trees, Shrubs or Vines, and the charge is based, even for small shipments, upon the 100 pound
rate; the minimum charge, however, being 35 cents on each shipment. Patrons will please insist that this discount
fs allowed when paying charges.

These are among the most beautiful and valuable Hardy
Perennials; highly ornamental in foliage and blooming
continuously and freely from August until frost. The
flowers are large, exceedingly chaste and pure in color,
on long stems and wonderfully graceful; surpassing even
in refined beauty the Cosmos and unsurpassed for cutting.
Although the Japanese Anemones are hardy, it is well to
give them a slight protection in winter, as they are some-
times damaged by cold in severe winters when unpro-
tected.

America. It forms fleshy roots and is exceedingly hardy;

in no other hardy perennial—during the entire summer

DIGITALIS OR FOXGLOVES.
These old fashioned summer flowering plants are al-
ways handsome and showy. Their large tubular flowers
are thickly clustered on tall spikes and are produced in
great profusion; ranging in color from purple to white
with throats variously spotted and colored. Properly
planted in mass with an appropriate background, nothing
is more effective and striking when in bloom. When
Sweet Williams are planted with them as a foreground
the effect is truly delightful. The foliage is so large,
fresh looking and abundant; growing in massive clumps,
the plants are decidedly attractive, even when there are
no flowers upon them. They succeed everywhere; three
to four feet; biennial in habit.

summer and autumn. The plant grows 3 to 4 feet high
and is literally covered with its pleasing colored flowers.
Besides coming, as it does, at a season when there is a
dearth of color upon the lawn and in the border, it is of
the greatest value. Especially valuable for massing, as
the background for borders, and planting with shrubbery.

Imperial Japanese Iris
Iris KAEMPFERI.
A field of Japanese Iris at Monmouth Nursery.
“Little wonder that a plant so boldly decorative in cutline and bearing a flower of exquisite coloring so mar-
velously formed should make its strongest appeal to the artistic Japanese. From these foremost gardeners of the
world has come a strain of irises that neither orchids nor lilies can rival in beauty of form, texture, coloring, mark-
ings and general effectiveness. * * * * * Yet the Iris Kaempferi may be as easily grown as the potato. Moreover,
it is perfectly handy. High, dry lands do not suit its moisture loving roots, but good garden soil, enriched with
thoroughly decayed manure, deeply dug in and well watered during June and July—the blossom months in north-
eastern United States—will produce flowers of wonderful size. Do not select a shady place for your irises. They
thrive under full exposure to the sun, but moisture they must have to bloom their best, and sometimes their roots
will penetrate two feet deep to get it. Naturalized in the water garden, where the tall, narrow, blade-like leaves
rise in phalanxes around the shore and the stately beauty of the flowers is reflected in the mirror below, they are
ideally situated; but let no one forego the delight of growing Japanese Irises merely because he has not a pond or a
stream on his place.”’”—THE GarDEN MAGAZINE.
My collection of Japanese Iris I am quite sure is unequaled by any other in America. Many of the choicer
varieties were obtained by me direct from the Imperial gardens of Japan and are to be found in no other nursery in

My plants were shipped on April 20th, I received them

thing was in perfect condition and never stopped growing;
some are in bloom now.
I can always recommend the Monmouth Nursery. If
proper planting and care are shown the plants, they will
surely grow and are always just as represented. I have
been buying my plants and shrubs from J. L. Lovett for
the last ten or twelve years. I do not have to replace
them very often. My row of hardy Peonies are the show

EARLY BLOOMING PHLOX.
PHiLox SUFFRUTICOSA.
Instead of the heavy, broad heads of bloom produced
by the varieties of P. decussata, these have long, graceful
spike sof flowers. Although the range of color is limited
and in some varieties not very bright and clear, yet these
early Phloxes are of great value by reason of coming into

continuing in bloom the entire season, until late autumn.

mine rays at center.

it a charming plant at all seasons of the year, and when

Although a native,
shrub except the Rhododendron, that rivals this in
beauty. Like its first cousin, Rhododendron, it retains
its foliage in unimpaired beauty throughout the year.
Its leaves, which are broad, smooth and glossy, are ex-
ceptionally free from insect attack or blemish of any
kind. As regards hardiness, it may justly be termed
“ironclad.”” The flowers are borne in large, flat clusters,
vary in color from pearly white to soft, shell pink and
are uniquely and exquisitely formed, suggesting, both in
bud and when expanded, flowers made of certain deli-
cate, dainty sea shells. The flowers appear early in
June and continue some weeks,

The Rhododendron is conceded by landscape gardeners
and other horticultural experts to be the most beautiful
and valuable of; all hardy plants. In addition to the
annual festival of bloom it furnishes in June, its broad,
massive, elegant foliage wins for it first place in the esti-
mation and admiration of all. The number of named
hybrids are legion, many of which are not entirely hardy
in America. I have, therefore, reduced list to the

RHODODENDRON MAXIMUM OR GREAT BAY.
In writing of this grand native shrub, Mr. J. W. Manning truthfully and forcibly says: ‘‘Rhododendron maxi-
mum is being largely used for landscape work. Its foliage is the longest and showiest of any broad-leaved evergreen.
Its hardihood is unquestioned (it is a rare native as far north as Nova Scotia), and its late blooming habit ex-
tends the blooming season for a month longer than when the usual varieties only are planted. Its vigorous growth,
sturdy habit and adaptability to a variety of soils, would, with its foliage alone, make it a valuable ornamental plant;
but its crowning glory of showy flowers, borne in large clusters in magnificent profusion in late June and early
July, renders it noteworthy among hardy plants. * * * As an ornamental plant it is one of the best, but used
also in connection with more costly hybrid sorts, which include early season of bloom and greater range of color,
it is possible tv obtain a showy and immediate; effect that would otherwise be possible only after years of waiting, or
at greater expense than can ordinarily be afforded.”
Rhododendron maximum is at home.under the shade of trees, where many other desirable shrubs will not thrive.
For massing along wooded drives and paths of parks or private: estates, no other plant is so effective in producing
beautiful results. For massing about buildings it is also invaluable. The plants I offer are stocky, well furnished,

BERBERIS THUNBERGI.—Has become popular in late
years for producing low, dense hedges. Its abundant
small, light green leaves, which turn to rich colors in
autumn, and its wealth of scarlet berries, render it very
attractive. It is extremely hardy, remains dense and full
to the ground and requires but little pruning. Trans-
planted, 12 to 18 inches, 100, $6.00.
BERBERIS LOVETTI.—Superior to B. Thunbergi by
reason of being of more upright habit and a stronger
grower. Foliage similar but berries are smaller, even
brighter in color and are produced in even greater pro-
fusion. It is destined to be the hedge plant of the future
—just as California Privet is at present. Transplanted,
12 to 18 inches, 100, $8.00.
CALIFORNIA PRIVET (see cut).—Introduced as a hedge
plant by me in 1873. It has become exceedingly popular
and is now more largely employed for hedge planting
than all other plants or shrubs combined. Its rich, dark
green, glossy foliage, which remains upon the plant until
after mid-winter, and its rapid, vigorous growth, added to
the fact that it succeeds everywhere—even in the most
trying situations and upon all kinds of soii—renders it
par excellence for hedging. A leaflet on “How to Plant

derest flesh pink imaginable at the outer petals, shading to deeper tints at the center, with dainty fragrance. The
pointed buds are borne on strong, stiff stems a foot to a foot and a half long, the plant a strong grower, a free and
constant bloomer. Its abundant foliage is large and glossy rich green with metallic cast and never mildews. I have

profusion the whole of summer and autumn. The foliage
is clear bright green and does not mildew. (See cut.)

Select Cannas
The Canna is beyond question the king of summer decorative plants for the lawn. As with other similar
plants, pleasing results depend largely upon a judicious selection of varieties and proper arrangerpent in planting.
Nothing rivals the improved varieties for bedding or massing upon the lawn, grouping about buildings or for
planting with shrubbery; the large luxuriant foliage and great spikes of brilliantly colored flowers, constantly pro-
duced throughout the summer and autumn, rendering it of the greatest value and usefulness in producing sub-
tropical effects.
All are strong well rooted plants in 3% and 4 inch pots—not dry roots.
Smaller plants sent by mail at each and dozen rates, if desired.
HON. BENJ. F. HOWELL.
Now first offered. It was originated in 1906 by Mr.
Jas. A. Kemp, who has produced so many fine Cannas,
such as Pennsylvania, Indiana, Wyoming, Little Gem,
King Edward, ete., and surpasses by far all that have
preceded it. It is indeed a wonderful Canna and may
justly be termed “Improved King Humbert.” It is of
tall habit, being of slightly taller growth than King Hum-
bert, and very like it in flower and foliage—fully equal-
ing that grand variety. It is even a more profuse
bloomer and it sheds its flowers as soon as they fade,
thus always presenting a tidy, clean appearance, though
the King Humbert does not. It has the same large,
rich bronze foliage with metallic cast and is a much har-
dier and more robust plant. Being fully as good as the
grand Italian variety referred to in both flower and
foliage and being of American origin, hence much better
suited to our climate, it is very much superior to it; in
brief, it is the finest and best Canna to date. (See cut.)
Each, 35c; doz., $3.50; 100, $25.00.
BLACK BEAUTY.
In rich color of foliage and tropical effect, this variety
is unrivalled. The massive leafage is of intense glistening
bronzy-purple, shaded black, with crimped and fluted
margins. The flowers are crimson, but small and unim-
portant. Attains a height of 6 feet. Each, 20c; doz.,
$2.00; 100, $12.00.
EMIL WIELAND.
A remarkable Canna. Having grown Cannas largely
for over fifteen years, during which time I have intro-
duced Crimson Bedder and a number of other valuable
varieties, I have learned the merits and defects in varie-
ties of this decorative plant, and I-regard this as the
most brilliant variety yet produced. It is a cross between
Mme. Crozy and the orchid-flowered section; uniting the
splendid plant and freedom of bloom of the former and
the great size of flower and truss of the latter. The
color is vivid orange-scarlet and the flowers are very
large, in large compact trusses, very lasting and are
produced with the greatest profusion from June until
severe frost. A sturdy grower, with musa-like, fresh,
light green foliage. Height 4 to 5 feet. Each, 25c;
doz., $2.50; 100, $15.00.
KING HUMBERT.
Termed “The Gold Medal Canna.” Of wondrous
beauty and until the advent of the Hon. Benj. F. Howell
much the finest of all the bronze-leaved Cannas. The
enormous trusses are made up of flowers that measure
six inches across and are a rich salmon-scarlet, distinctly
and numerously flecked with deep crimson markings. It
is a free bloomer and with its rich coppery-bronze, mas-
sive foliage, it produces an effect both bold and striking.
A well-known Canna expert says of it: “Of all the won-
derful flowering and foliage plants, this one takes the
lead for size, color and habit. It is a cross between the
Orchid-fiowering and the French Crozy type, combining
the best features of both; the large flowers of one with
the free flowering character of the other, having hand-
.
some, leathery foliage and a strong, noble habit. It has
the broadest leaves.” It grows five to six feet high.
Each, 20c; doz., $2.00; 100, $12.00.
Hon. Benj. F. Howell.
MEPHISTO.
Of recent introduction and perhaps the darkest in color
of flowers of any of the red varieties. Flowers of very
large size, held high above the bright green foliage and
are of intense glowing deep rich crimson. It grows 3%
feet high. Each, 20c; doz., $2.00; 100, $12.00,
