LOVETT. 



Bisexual: 

 Early. 



{Pistillate : Mid-season to Late. ) 



ONE of the largest strawberries yet 

 produced; the most prolific, the most 

 beautiful. The berries average remark- 

 ably large, of beautiful form, excep- 

 tionally uniform in shape, deep crimson 

 color, and of extra rich, high quality, 

 and keeps long when ripe, the berries 

 retaining their large size to the end of 

 the season. The fruit is rarely ill- 

 shaped, never coxcombsd— an unusual 

 feature in a large berry. We have had 

 it in bearing for three consecutive 

 years and it has not developed a single 

 defect. 



Price, (pot-grown plants?) 60c. doz., 

 §400 per 100. 



MARY. 



Fruit firm and handsome. In 

 productiveness it excels, succeed- 

 ing everywhere. We do not claim 

 for it mammoth size, but averag- 

 ing large and uniform. ■ The ber- 

 ries color all over at once. It gave 

 us ripe fruit on May 22d. At a 

 single picking it does not give as 

 much fruit as some varieties that 

 go quickly, but from first to last 

 we have never seen a strawberry 

 yield so much fruit. Price, (pot- 

 grown plants', 50c. per doz.. §3.50 

 per 100. 



"Margaret." 



(Bisexual : Mid-season.) 



This variety has made a re- 

 markable record— perhaps never 

 equalled, and is now offered with 

 great confidence. It responds 

 readily to good culture, and all 

 careful growers may expect it to 

 produce the finest fruit in great 

 abundance. The plant is large 

 and healthy, and so vigorous in 

 growth that it will mature its last 

 berries and continue green and 

 luxuriant while an abundance of 



strong runners are produced. The foliage is dark green, and so clean and 

 healthy looking that it is a pleasure to work among the plants. The blos- 

 som is perfect and one of the strongest ever seen. It commences to ripen 



soon after the early var- 

 ieties, and bears until 

 nearly all others are gone. 

 With a good chance its 

 berries are all of large 

 size. The plant with its 

 habits of growth and pro- 

 ductiveness is faultless. 

 The fruit is usually con- 

 ical, sometimes rather 

 long, but never cox- 

 combed or misshaped, 

 often necked. The color 

 is dark, glossy red, and 

 the berries are not in- 

 clined to have white tips. 

 The large, green calyx 

 adds to its beauty. The 

 flesh io firmer than most 

 very large berries, and 

 of excellent flavor. For 

 healthy, vigorous 

 growth, productiveness, 

 size, beauty and quality 

 the Margaret is a re- 

 markable variety. 



Price, (pot-grown 

 plants'', 60c pe: doz., 

 $4.00 per 100. 



JERSEY MARKET. 



JERSEY OTKET. 



(Pistillate : Mid-season.) 

 An ideal Market Straw- 

 berry, combining all of the? 

 essential good qualities 

 needed in a berry to sell, viz. 

 firmness, bright color, good 

 keeping qualities, product- 

 iveness, uniformly good size 

 and fine quality on a strong, 

 healthy plant. ' In a general 

 way it is an improved Chas. 

 Downing, resembling that 

 old reliable in appearance, 

 but it is larger, firmer in tex- 

 ture, of a bright crimson col- 

 or. The individual berries 

 are not mammoth in size, but 

 it is a bountiful and reliable 

 yielder under all conditions ; 

 a strictly business sort that 

 everyone can depend upon. 

 Price, (pot-grown plants), 

 60c. per doz., $4.00 per 100. 



MICHEL'S E0ULY. 



(Bisexual : 

 Extra Early.) 



Michel's Early is the earliest variety 

 of strawberry in cultivation that 'will 

 produce a full crop of berries. It is a ro- 

 bust grower, with never a trace of rust 

 or mildew. It yields bountifully, berries 

 medium to large, handsome, regular 

 conical form, color light scarlet, flavor 

 exquisite; is a fine sort to pollenize early 

 pistillates. See cut. Price (pot-grown 

 plants) 50c. doz., $3.50 per 100.
