THE LOVETT COMPANY, LITTLE SILVER, N. /. 

 LINCOLN. 



The finest of all plums; enormous in size; showy in 

 appearance, delicious in quality, excessive in bearing. 

 We are proud of the fact that it was 

 introduced by us a few years ago and 

 the demand for it has been so great 

 that we have never had 

 sufficient trees to fill our 

 orders for it. It is a 

 seedling of Green Gage 

 or Reino Claude, and 

 originated over twenty- 

 five years ago. It is the 

 largest in size of all 

 hardy plums, average 

 specunens from over- 

 loaded trees measiu-ing 

 23^ in. long and over 

 six inches around; 

 weighing over two 

 ounces — selected speci- 

 mens weighing four 

 ounces each; the finest 

 in quality of any plum 

 we have ever test- 

 ed, surpassing its 

 parent, that stand- 

 ard of excellence, 

 the old Green Gage, 

 wonderfully prolif- 

 ic, the plmns hang- 

 ing like ropes of 

 onions upon the 

 branches; beautiful 

 in form and color, 

 very early in ripen- 

 ing and curculio proof in so far that the stings of the insect do not seem to affect it injuriously. In color it Is a 

 reddish purple, with a delicate bloom, very bright, showy and attractive; flesh light yellow or amber, exceedingly 

 juicy, rich, sweet, melting and luscious — entirely free from any coarseness or toughness — parting freely from the 

 stone. It ripens from the first to the middle of August and its productiveness is simply beyond description. A 

 customer wrote: *'I ordered one small Lincoln plum tree from you for a neighbor. I took off one small limb and 

 made two grafts, which were loaded with the finest plums ever seen in this part of the country."

RED JUNE. 



A very early variety of the Japanese Plum, of 

 great value. Indeed, at the Southwest, where 

 it is better known and now being extensively 

 planted, it is spoken of as "the most valuable 

 market plum produced up to this time." It is the 

 best in quality of any of the early varieties and 

 is exceptionally free from rot. The fruit is me- 

 dium to large, roundish-conical, deep purplish-red, 

 covered with bloom, very handsome and attract- 

 ive; flesh pale yellow, firm and meaty, excellent 

 in quality; half cling. Tree strong, hardy and 

 spreading, immensely productive and comes into 

 bearing in two or three years. Being the earliest, 

 except one, of all the Japanese Plums, free from 

 rot, firm, fine, and abundant, we predict for it a popularity among orchardists for market growing, and we espe- 

 cially commend it to the amateur for its very early supply of delicious plu oas. It is said by some nurserymen to 

 be identical with Red Nagate. On plum stocks, 1st class, ea., 40c; 3 for $1.00; doz., $3.50; 100, $20.00, Extra., ea.,
