LOVETT'S NURSERY, LITTLE SILVER, N\ J.— CURRANTS— DEWBERRIES, ETC. 55 



CURRANTS 



An Ideal Fruit for 

 Small Gardens 



A prettier sight than well grown, 

 symmetrical Currant bushes, laden 

 with hundreds, yes, thousands of 

 miniature red or white globules, 

 holding delightfully spicy juice, is 

 difficult to imagine. 



Plant in rows, 4 feet apart, spac- 

 ing the plants 3 feet apart in the 

 row. Mulch during the winter. 



When desired, plants will be 

 forwarded by parcel post, pro- 

 vided remittance is increased by 

 10% to cover parcel post charges. * 



CHERRY AND VER- 

 SAILLES 



Large berries, short clusters, 

 bright sparkling crimson, of 

 sharp and acid flavor. 1 year, 

 each, 30c.; dozen, $3.00; 2 years, 

 each, 40c.; dozen, $4.00. 



PERFECTION^Equally satis- 

 factory in various soils and sec- 

 tions, we consider it the most 

 satisfactory all-around currant in 

 cultivation. A strong grower, it 

 is naturally very prolific. It 

 ripens in midseason and the ber- 

 ries remain in good condition for 

 a long time. The berries are of 

 large size, being clear, of bright 

 sparkling red and with juice of 

 highest quality. 1 year old, 

 each, 40c.; dozen, $4.00. 2 years, 

 each, 50c.; dozen, $5.00. 



PLEASE NOTE.— It is not permissible 

 for New Jersey nurserymen, to ship Cur-

 Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, North 

 Dakota, South Dakota; Nebraska, Kansas, 

 Oklahoma, Texas, Minnesota, Tennessee,

 shire, Delaware, Maine and Massachusetts. 

 Since Black Currants are instrumental in 

 spreading certain fungus diseases, we 

 neither grow nor sell them. 



WHITE GRAPE — NONE 

 BETTER PGR ANY USE 



WHITE GRAPE— By far the best of the 

 white fruited sorts. It is a beautiful translucent 

 white and of mild, good quahty. 1 year, each, 

 40c.; dozen, $4.00. 2 years, each, 50c.; dozen, 

 $5.00. 



OTHER BERRIES USEFUL FOR DESSERT AND PRESERVING 

 DEWBERRIES 



LUCRETIA — Is sweeter and equals in size 

 the best varieties of Blackberries. Of slender, 

 trailing habit, the vines are entirely hardy ex- 

 cept at the Far North, succeed on all soils 

 (even very sandy) and are exceedingly prolific. 

 The berries are of large size, sparkling jet 

 black, and of high quality. Dozen, 75c.; 100, 

 $4.00; 1,000, $35.00. Extra strong transplanted 

 plants, dozen, $1.50; 100, $7.50. 



AUSTIN'S IMPROVED— The earliest Dew- 

 berry and the first to ripen of the blackberry 

 family. The berries are large, nearly round and 

 of excellent quality. Ripens earlier than Lu- 

 cretia. Dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00. Extra strong 

 ytransplanted plants, dozen, $1.75; 100, $9.00. 

 ^ YOUNO'S DEWBERRY — This wonderful 

 and remarkable new berry can best be described 

 by saying that it incorporates to a remarkable 

 degree the most desirable qualities of all other 

 popular berries. Its sweetness makes it a fine 

 fresh table berry comparable to the strawberry ; 

 it has the pleasant flavor of the red raspberry ; 

 the juiciness and tartness of the Loganberry ; 

 the jelHng and canning quahties of the black- 

 berry ; the productiveness of the dewberry ; the 

 size of the Cory and Mammoth blackberries, 

 though of a different shape and color, and 

 richness all its own. 



We do not know of another berry of this 

 family that offers as quick production after 

 planting. One of the remarkable features of 

 this plant is that full one year plants have 

 repeatedly produced fruit in more or less small 

 quantities the first season; the second season 

 will find them producing a remarkably large 

 crop and for the third and many followmg 

 seasons when properly cared for should net the 

 grower a most attractive return. Strong plants, 

 dozen, $2.50; 100, $15.00. 



GOOSEBERRIES 



DOWNING— The most popular market va- 

 riety. The pale green berries are of large size 

 and fair quahty. 1 year, each, 40c.; dozen, 

 $4 00. 2 years, each, 50c; dozen, $5.00. 



OREGON CHAMPION — Entirely distmct 

 from all others in foliage and habit of growth. 

 It is of slender willowy growth— not a very 

 strong grower. ' The berries when fully ripe 

 are pale amber, of excellent quality and of good 

 size. 1 year, each, 50c.; dozen, $5.00. 2 years, 

 each, 75c.; dozen, $7.50. 



WINEBERRY 



The berries are exceptionally useful in making 

 a delightful wine as well as most palatable pre- 

 serves. Rather acid as a dessert fruit uniess 

 quite ripe. Heavy plants, dozen, $2.50; 100, 

 $15.00.
