THE LOVETT COMPANY, 



Smith's Seedlingr. It is incomprehensible why a straw- 

 berry of such 

 great value as this 

 should be so slow 

 in becoming 

 known. It was 

 produced by Dr. 

 Smith, the late 

 strawberry king 

 of the northwest, 

 vvho attests his 

 high opinion of 

 its value by giv- 

 ing it his own 

 name. Not only 

 was it produced 

 by this great ex- 

 pert in strawberry culture but it was selected by him 

 as the best out of thousands of new varieties produced 

 by him. It is a seedling of the famous "old reliable" 

 Wilson and is the earliest berry that is both large and 

 firm that has yet appeared. The past season we made 

 two pickings of it before any other. In firmness it is 

 equal to the Wilson, bright color, handsome and uni- 

 formly large in size. The plant is perfection itself in 

 vigor and habit and is above the average in produc- 

 tiveness. If confined to a single variety as an early 

 market sort, we would select this. We have now fruit- 

 ed it for several years and are well acquamted with it. 

 Doz., 25c; 100, 50c; 1000, $3.00. 



Snowball. Hardiness and productiveness of plant and 

 firmness of berry are the prominent characteristics of 

 this variety. In general appearance and form the 

 berry somewhat resembles Warfield, not of the largest 

 size, but of regular conical shape, glossy, light crimson 

 with short neck, exceedingly firm, of good quality, 

 rich and sprightly. The plant grows well and shows 

 no rust or scald. It will be found an excellent market 

 berry, retaining its bright color and standing up well. 

 Midseason. Doz., 25c.; 100, 75c.; 1000, $5.00. 



Tubbs. A showy berry of large size and very firm; 

 rich deep crimson,solid flesh of fine quality. The plant 

 is large, vigorous, prolific, and endures drought re- 

 markably well— a most valuable property. This is a 

 most profitable variety for market and one that pleases 

 the amateur as well. Ripens early and continues for a 

 long season. Doz., 25c.; 100, 50c.; 1000, $3.50. 



LITTLE SILVER, /. 11 

 Tiflibrell (P). Valuable for ite largo size, high qual- 



ity, and lateness. For producing large fancy berries it 

 has few equals, but it requires careful, clean culture 

 and rich soil. A thrifty, strong grower, with rank, 

 dark foliage; fruit very large, solid, dark crimson and 

 bears shipment well. Its fine quality makes it desir- 

 able for the table of tho amateur. Very valuable for 

 canning. Doz., 25c.; 100, 75c.; 1000, S4.00. 



Warfield {No. S) P. Profitable for market by reason 

 of its great productiveness under ordinary field culture. 

 Berries of rather small size, bright crimson, firm and 

 of good quality. Plant vigorous and healthy, yielding 

 as abundantly as Crescent, but a much better variety 

 everyway. P 'ofitable either for local market or ship- 

 ping. Early to midseason. Doz., 25c, 100, 50c; 

 1000, $2.50. 



White Novelty. A vigorous growing variety of the 

 Alpine or Everbearing species, yielding a good crop in 

 June, succeeded by smaller quantities until frost. The 

 berries are larger than those of the old White Alpine, 

 pure white and of exquisite flavor. Should be planted 

 on moist soil. Doz., 25c; 100, 75c; 1000, $5.00. 



Wilson. The old well-known and once popular mar- 

 ket berry. On strong, moist soil it still holds its own 

 and produces many fine berrieS. Large, dark crimson 

 and firm. Early. Doz., 25c: 100, 50c; 1000, $2.50. 



CRANBERRIES. 



Sent postpaid at 100 rates; 50c. i^r 1000 additional for postage. 

 Culture. Prepare the soil, if wet and spongy, by draining away the surplus water to ten or twelve inches 



below the surface; remove the top soil, make level and 

 cover with two or three inches of sand. Plant two feet 

 a^art each way (requiring 10,000 slips per acre) with dib- 

 bles, leaving a top of one to one and a half inches above 

 ground. The slips root readily, even when apparently 

 dead from drying; if placed in water twelve to twenty- 

 four hours, they will revive and grow. Flood the plants 

 at approach of winter, keeping them covered until after 

 freezing weather in spring. 



Doz., 20c; 100, 50c; 1000, $2.50. Lots of 5000 and up- 

 ward, at special rates. 



Large Cherry. There are many varieties called Cherry, 

 but the one offered is the largest and best of them all. 

 Large, round, bright red, and a good keeper; vine vigorous 

 and prolific. Rather late. 



Bell. Well known and extensively grown. Of good size, 

 bell-shaped, dark red, although variable in form and color; 

 ^^/^/^ ^ vines prolific ; a good keeper. Ripens earlier than Cherry.
