THE LOVETT COME AAV, LITTLE SILVER, N. /. 



GENERAL LIST. 



Crystal White. Interesting from the fact of its being 

 a white blackberry : and it is the bast of its kind. Ber- 

 ries of good size, translucent white, good, sweet and 

 pleasant. Canes of strong growth, very productive, 

 but not entirely hardy. Should be planted near another 

 variety to properly fertilize its blossoms. By all means 

 plant a few in the home garden. Root cutting plants, 

 doz., 50c; 100, 82.00. 



Early Harvest. Especially valuable for the South and 

 also other locations where extreme cold does not pre- 

 vail, for its canes are not of great hardiness. It is, 

 however, exceedingly desirable for its earliness and 

 immense productiveness, the bushes being literally 

 loaded down with berries. The fruit is but medium 

 size, of a bright, glossy black and excellent in quality, 

 sweet and tender. A profitable variety. Boot cutting 

 plants, doz., 35c; 100, §1.00; 1000, $7.00. 

 Erie, Introduced by us some years ago, and now the 

 most popular of all the stand- 

 ard sorts. It has been very 

 largely grown for market and 

 its many good properties have 

 made it very profitable. Ber- 

 ries large, roundish, very un- 

 iform, glossy black and of 

 good quality. Canes robust, 

 hardy and productive. A 

 very reliable sort and will 

 give good satisfaction any- 

 where. Second early. Boot 

 cutting plants, doz., 50c; 102, 

 $1.50; 1000, $12.00. 



Lovett* This is decidedly the best Blackberry in cul- 



tivation, all things considered, and so say all who 

 have grown it. We have fruited ten acres of it at a 

 time and it yielded us the largest returns and the great- 

 est profit per acre of anything in the way of berries 

 we have ever grown. It is a heavy yielder, continues 

 longer in bearing and the berries command a much high- 

 er price in market. Large, roundish, jet black, firm, 

 and of extra high quality. Canes of ironclad hardiness, 

 strong, vigorous growth, and productive. It ripens 

 early and continues to bear until the close of the sea- 

 son. Exceedingly desirable for the home garden and 

 by far the most profitable variety for market. Very 

 nne root ctOUng plants, dosu SOc; 100,<2.00; 1000,$12.00. 



Kittatinny. Well-known and once very popular, but 

 its lack of hardiness at the North and tendency to rust, 

 in some locations, have caused it to be somewhat less in 

 demand. It is a choice variety, however, especially 

 for the home garden, with large, handsome berries of 

 delicious flavor; canes of strong, erect growth, and very 

 productive imder good culture. Midseason to late. Boot 

 cutting plants, doz., 40c; 100, $1.50; 1000, $9.00. 



Lawton {Neiv Bochelle). This, also, is an old favorite, 

 justly esteemed for its large, fine fruit and productive- 

 ness. It is of vigorous gro^lh and succeeds over a wide 

 range of country. The berries are large and roundish, 

 and of delicious quality when fully ripe, but tm-n black 

 in advance of ripening. It has been superseded by Erie 

 which is hardier and ripens earlier. Midseason to late. 

 Boot cutting plants, doz., 40c; 100, $1.50; 1000, $10.00. 



Snyder. A popular early sort for planting at the 

 North and Northwest; its extreme hardiness of cane 

 rendering it valuable for cold climates. It is wonder- 

 fully productive, and though the berries are but medi- 

 um in size, they are sweet and juicy, and without any 

 hard core. Doz., 40c; 100, $1.^; 1000, $8.00. 



Ohmer. As a profitable, large, 

 late Blackberry there is nothing 

 better among the standard 

 sorts. In both cane and fruit 

 it is all that can be desired; 

 canes vigorous, strong, hardy, 

 a n_d very productive, with 

 tough, healthy foliage. The 

 berries are large, jet black, 

 glossy and attractive, firm, and 

 of sweet, rich flavor, tender 

 and good. It ripens about with 

 Taylor's Prolific, but much 

 larger in size and infinitely bet- 

 ter, except for extreme north- 

 ern localities. This and Maxwell go well together and 

 furnish a season of Blackberries that can be surpassed 

 only by one variety we know of. namely, the Lovett, 

 which extends from eaii}^ to late. Strong root cutting 

 plants, doz., 50c; 100, $1.50; 1000, $12.00. 



Early King. Last spring we rim out of plants of this 

 excellent variety and bought a quantity of a nursery- 

 man in Va. to supply our demands. We propagated 

 from them and now learn to our sorrow they are quite 

 badly mixed with other varieties. We therefore will 

 have no plants of this variety for sale this year. Those 

 who have received from us any of these mixed plants 

 will oblige us by reporting the fact, that we may make 

 a proper adjustment with them. 



DEWBERRY. 



Plant in rows 6 ft. apart and 3 ft. distant in the rows. 



Lucretia. The best of all the 

 Dewberries, and a delightful va- 

 riety for the home garden. Ear- 

 lier and larger than any black- 

 berry, it continues the supply of 

 fruit and introduces the black- 

 berries. Handsome, jet black, 

 long, rich, melting and delicious. 

 The plant is entirely hardy every- 

 where, a healthy, strong grower, 

 and is exceedingly productiye.
