THE LOVETT COMPANY, LITTLE StLVEk, N. J. 



CONRATM. 



In this we have united earliness, vigoi*, 

 hardiness, large size, and productiveness; 

 properties that will give it a foremost rank. 

 It resembles Gregg in many ways, being prob- 

 ably a seedling of that variety, and the fruit 

 retains its large size to the last picking. The 

 canes are of ironclad hardiness, very prolific 

 ^nd make a good healthy growth. It is the 

 best early black cap, equaling Souhegan in 

 all points, with the Gregg type of berry, 

 which it equals in firmness and excels in 

 sweetness, and is free from the woolly appear- 

 ance of that berry. The fruit always leaves 

 the stem easily and may be gathered without 

 crushing or breaking. Wherever it has been 

 grown it has given great satisfaction and we 

 can recommend it as exceedingly valuable.

EUREKA. 



A large early Cap variety. The berries are 

 jet black and in the West, where it originated, 

 the canes are said to be hard:>' and prolific; ren- 

 dering it very profitable for market and de- 

 sirable for the home garden. At Monmouth 

 the foliage mildews so badly that the canes 

 make but a feeble growth; hence we cannot

recommend it for planting at the East, at least. 



GENERAL LIST. 



AH Summer. The best everbearing raspberry, very 

 similar if not identical with the well known Belle de 

 Fontenay or Amazon. The berries are large, crimson, 

 luscious and fine in quality, produced abundantly in 

 July and again later in the season. Canes strong, 

 erect and vigorous with large, dark green foliage, sil- 

 very-white beneath. Exceedingly hardy and endures 

 heat well, hence well suited to the South. A choice 

 variety. Ea., 10c; 3 for 25c; doz., 75c; 100,$4.00. 



Cuthbert (Queen of 

 the Market). The lead- 

 ing standard red rasp- 

 berry and largely 

 planted for market. It 

 has proved of great 

 adaptability to all 

 parts of the country. 

 The canes are hardy 

 and of strong growtii ' 

 with large, healthy 

 foliage; exceedingly 

 productive. Berries 

 large,, crimson, firm 

 and good. Midseason 

 to late. Doz., 30c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $8.00. 

 Golden Queen. The best yellow raspberry, 



Brandywine. A once popular market variety, valu- 

 able for its bright color and firmness of flesh. The 

 berries are of good size, bright attractive crimson and 

 good when fully ripe. The canes are quite hardy but 

 lack vigor and are productive only on good soil. A 

 good shipper and keeper but now superseded by Miller. 

 Midseason. Doz., 30c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $8.00. 



Gregff {Cap). A popular and profitable market black- 

 cap on strong soil and under good culture, but its canes 

 are not entirely hardy, sufi'ering somewhat in hard 

 winters. For this reason it is being superseded by 

 other varieties. Berries very large, black with heavy 

 bloom, firm, meaty and of fine flavor. Midseason. 

 Doz., 30c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $7.00.

 it is identical with Cuthbert, possessing canes of equal 

 vigor and even greater productiveness. The berries 

 are large, of a bright golden yellow and of high quality. 

 Midseason. Doz., 40c; 100, $1.25; 1000, $10.00.
