J. T. LOVETT, LI F I LE SILVER, N. J 

 BARRYMORE. 



A superb new varietj^ from ^lassachusetts, ripening 

 in midseason. Tlie bluntly conical berries are extreme- 

 ly beatitiful, of mammoth size, of surpassing quality — • 

 rich and sugary — and exceptionally firm. The color 

 is rich dark crimson, (which it holds, unchanged after 

 picked), with glossy surface; the flesh is red and meaty. 

 Valable alike for the home garden, for market growing 

 and for exhibition. Awarded a SILA'ER MEDAX, and 

 THREE FIRST PREMIUMS by the time honored Massa- 

 chusett's -Horticultural Society. Doz., $1.00; 100, $5.00. 



EARLY OZARK. 



The best of 800 seedlings of Excelsior crossed with 

 Aroma and is believed to be eight hundred times as 

 good as either of those popular varieties. It is a graad 

 •grower with very large dark green leathery leaf; and 

 reliable conservative fruit growers avow it is as early 



as Excelsior or the extremely early but little ^Michel's 

 Early and as large as Gandy or any of the other fine 

 late varieties — fifteen berries filling a quart basket. The 

 berries are almost round and bright red in color. Plant 

 of extremely strong growth and never rusts or scalds. 

 In addition to all the above and above all, the variety 

 is enormously prolific. It has not yet fruited at Mon- 

 mouth, but from what I have heard of it and from the 

 growing plants, I am convinced it is a variety of verj' 

 great value by reason of its earliness, large size and 

 prolific yield. Doz., 30c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $8.00. 



GENERAL LIST OF STRAWBERRIES. 



My strawberry plants are remarkably fine again this year — as fine as last year — and they could not well be 

 finer. 



Shipping came on with such a rush the past spring, that the supply of a number of varieties became greatly 

 reduced before the fact was reported to me; with the result we did not have enough left to make our usual 

 plantings of them. For this reason, I am obliged to omit from my list some very excellent sorts this spring. 

 If to be sent by fnail, add 25c per 100 to prices annexed. Plants sent by mail at dozen rates if desired. 



ABINGTON. — In a general way, it is similar to the 

 old Bubach, although of brighter, more attractive color, 

 firmer texture, and has the advantage over its parent, 

 (Bubach), in having a perfect blossom. Though of 

 .good, it is not of high quality, and for this reason .s 

 not so desirable as some others for the home garden. 

 Plant of vigorous habit, a good plant maker, witn 

 clean, healthy foliage, and the fruit is so large and at- 

 tractive and the plant so remarkably prolific, that it is 

 of great value to the market grower. Ripens in mid- 

 season. Doz., 25c; 100, 60c; 1000, $4.00. 



CARDINAL (P). — A marvel in vigor and productive- 

 ness, exceptionally firm and very handsome. It is a 

 ■strictly business berry — gets right down to business at 

 once and keeps at it all the time. The quality is not 

 ^ne — too tart and not refined — but it looks so well, 

 yields so well, sells so well and is so easily grown, it 

 is a most profitable variety to grow. The berries aver- 

 age large and are bluntly conical with a bright green 

 ■calyx or "burr"; and they "stand up" remarkably W2ll 

 after shipment. It possesses the solidity of the old 

 ■venerable Wilson's Albany, united with the vigor of 

 plant, prolific yield and brightness of color of the fam- 

 ous Crescent, while the berries are much larger than 

 •either of them. Season medium until quite late. Doz., 

 25c; 100, 75c; 1,000, $5.00. 



COMMONWEALTH.— The finest late variety I have 

 yet fully tested, for the family garden. It is very lite, 



of superb quality and a wonderful yielder. It sur- 

 passed by far the Gandy in quality, though it is not .so 

 attractive in color. Plant vigorous and healthy.
