THE LOVBTT COMPANY, LITTLE SILVER, N. j. 



1ft 



Kansas (Cap). A great improvement upon Gregg by 



reason of its greater hardiness, less bloom, and earlier 

 season of ripening. It is a profitable market sort and 

 its handsome appearance and fine flavor make it desir- 

 able for the home garden. Berries as large as Gregg, 

 firm and of fine quality. Its canes are of strong growth, 

 entirely hardy and prolific. Ripens about second early. 

 Doz., 30c; 100, .fl.OO; 1000, |8.00. 



Lovett (Cap). A superior early blackcap and mark- 

 edly distinct from all others. The canes, which are 

 thornless, are of strong growth and ironclad hardiness, 

 yielding enormous crops. The berries are almost as 

 large as Gregg, jet black, firm, and of superior quality ; 

 sweet and with small seeds; it keeps in fine condition 

 for a long time. Doz., 40c; 100, |1.25; 1000, $10.00. 



Flarlboro. The largest of the early red raspberries, 

 ripening a few days later than Hansell. Whilst this is 

 one of the best red raspberries for the North, it will 

 not endure hot suns or southern skies, being evidently 

 of foreign parentage. The canes are hardy and fairly 

 productive. Fruit exceedingly large, bright crimson, 

 and of fair quality. Doz., 30c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $8.00. ' 



Ohio (Cap). A favorite variety for evaporating; be- 

 ing exceedingly productive and the berries retaining 

 their flavor and shape better than most other varieties. 

 Of good size, clear shining black, and excellent quality. 



Canes hardy and vigorous. Midseason. Doz., 30c; 

 100, $1.00; 1000, $7.00. 



ProfffvSS (A'oneer) Cap. A very valuable and profita- 

 ble early variety, ripening w ith Souhegan, but larger 

 in fruit, with canes more vigorous and of greater yield. 

 Berries jet black, very firm and of good quality. It is 

 a hardy, reliable sort, sure to give satisfaction. Doz., 

 30c; 100, $1.00: 1000, $6.00. 



Shaffer's Colossal. One of the best for home use, but 

 the dull color of its fruit is against it for market. The 

 canes are of great vigor and size, and enormously pro- 

 ductive. Berries large, of a dull, purplish-red color, 

 rather soft, but luscious, juicy and of rich, sprightly 

 flavor. It will furnish a sure and abundant supply of 

 fine fruit for table use or for canning, etc. Succeeds well 

 atthe South. Late. Doz., 30c; 100, $1.25; 1000, $10.00. 



Souhesran or Tyler (Cap). Once the stau-lard early 

 market blackcap. It possesses the desirable market 

 property of ripening its entire crop almost at once or 

 within a short time. Canes vigorous and hardy, with 

 foliage healthy and free from rust, wonderfully pro- 

 ductive. Fruit of good size, jet black, but with little 

 bloom; firm and sweet. Doz., 30c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $6.00. 



Thompson's 

 Early Prolific. Ci 

 For bright-col- 

 ored, firm, early 

 berries for mar- 

 ket there are few 

 better sorts than 

 this, though the 

 fruit is not so 

 large as that of 

 some other varie- 

 ties. It is similar 

 in size and color 

 t o Brandy wine 

 but of better 

 quality, ripens 

 from a week to 

 ten days earlier, and is more productive. It succeeds 

 well at the South, for which its tough, healthy foliage 

 rendersit well adapted. Doz., 30c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $7.00. 



Turner {Southern Tho7mless). Of ironclad hardiness, 

 vigorous, healthy growth and productive. Berries of 

 good size, bright crimson color, rather soft, but of de- 

 licious sweet fiavor. It is an old but popular variety. 

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

WINEBERRY. 



The general appearance of this fine Japanese Rasp- 

 berry is so ornamental that one is tempted to purchase 

 it for its beauty alone, independent of the value of its 

 fruit, and hence it is that it has now become so well 

 known and popular. It is a large, robust grower, per- 

 fectly hardy and among the most enormously prolific 

 of all the small fruits. The berries are borne in largo 

 clusters, and each berry is at first tightly enveloped by 

 the large calyx, forming a sort of burr, which is cov- 

 ered with purplish -red hairs so thickly as to present the 

 appearance of moss rose buds. These gradually open 

 and turn back, exposing the fruit in all its beauty. The 

 berries are of a beautiful, translucent appearance, run- 

 ning through all the shades of ambe^ to crimson as they 

 ripen. In quality it is quite distinct, but a decided 

 brisk sub-acid; is unsurpassed for cooking, canning, jelly 

 making or preserving, and makes a delicious and whole- 

 some wine. It begins ripening in July and continues 

 for a longtime. Every home garden should contain a few 

 aiited, doz., -lOc; 100, $1.25; 1000, $10.00.
