THE LOVETT COMPANY, LITTLE SILVER, N. J. 17 



The canes, which are exceedingly prolific, are of strong, vigorous growth and are clothed 

 with an abundance of large, dark green, leathery foliage and are semi-trailing in habit. (See 

 accompanying illustration which was drawn from nature). They are without the large sharp 

 thorns of the Blackberry but have numerous fine red spines, like those upon the Red Rasp- 

 berry. What gives special value to this novel fruit is its earliness, ripening as it does at the 

 close of the strawberry season, and in advance of all but the very earliest raspberries. The 

 past season we gathered ripe berries of it on June 20th, in 1895 on June 24th — it continuing 

 each year to give us ripe berries for three weeks, perfecting all its fruit, even the last, to full 

 size, firmness, color and flavor. 



We have now thoroughly tested this new fruit in field culture and speak from personal 

 observation of its hardiness and other valuable properties. By reason of its great and many 

 merits, coupled with its freedom from disease or defects, we know it to be of untold value, 

 both for the home garden and for profit. 



The plants we offer were propagated from the original stock and are strictly pure and 

 true. We caution planters against purchasing the seedling plants that are being offered by 

 some nurseries; they are unreliable, many of them being worthless.
