J. T. LOVETT, INC., LITTLE SILVER, N. J. -RASPBERRIES 11 



EMPIRE 



A variety from the Hudson River Valley, the home of the famous Hudson River Antwerp, 

 and of very'great promise. The berries are of enormous size, slightly conical, clear bright 

 light crimson, very showy, of excellent quality and exceptionally firm. At its home in Ulster 

 County, Xew York, it is absolutely hardy without protection. Canes grow six to ten feet 

 high, are heavily clothed with large dark green leaves and are literally loaded with berries. 

 It ripens early— with the earliest. Sucker plants, dozen, $1.50; 100, $10.00. Transplanted 

 plants, dozen, S2.50; 100, $15.00. 



respects except color, which is a clear trans- 

 lucent amber. Of luscious quality and a valu- 

 able variety for the home garden. Introduced 

 by the Monmouth Nursery in 1885, and much 

 the best varietv producing vellow fruit. Dozen, 

 50c.: 100. $2.00; 1,000, $15.00. Transplanted, 

 dozen, 75c.: 100, $3.00. 



KING.— Until the introduction of_ the St. 

 Regis, this was the most popular variety that 

 unites earliness. bright color, firmness and ex- 

 cellent quality of its berries with vigorous 

 growth, productiveness and hardiness of cane. 

 Its crimson berries are exceedingly bright and 

 lively in color and so firm as to endure long 

 shipment without change, and its canes are 

 verv hardv in winter and heat-resisting in sum- 

 mer. Dozen, 50c.; 100, $2.00; 1,000, $12.00. 

 Transplanted, dozen, 75c.; 100, $3.00. 



ROYAL PURPLE (Cap).— Like Cardinal, 

 this is a variety of the purple cane species that 

 multiplies at the ends of the canes after the 

 manner of the blackcap varieties. Canes very 

 hardy and yield heavily and the deep crimson 

 berries are even larger and better than those 

 of Cardinal or others of the same species. The 

 berries are also very firm. Canes said to have 

 endured a temperature of thirty-five degrees 

 below zero unharmed. Rioens late; nearly 

 two weeks after the Cardinal. Tips, dozen, 

 75c.; 100, $3.00: 1,000. $20.00. Transplanted, 

 dozen, $1.00; 100, $4.00. 



WILLIAMS.— A variety from the west and 

 one that gives the largest berries of any true 

 red Raspberry we grow except the Empire. 

 Berries nearly round, composed of large deep, 

 clear crimson drupes, rich and sprightly in 

 flavor. Canes of stocky habit with large leaves, 

 yield heavily and are of ironclad hardihood. 

 Not yet fully tested at Monmouth but indicates 

 much value. Dozen, 75c.: 100, $3.50. Tran§* 

 planted, dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00, 



CARDINAL (Cap). — A giant variety in cane 

 and berr}'. The berries of dull purple-crimson 

 are of high quality and are excellent for mak- 

 ing jelly and jam. Canes both hardy and pro- 

 lific. Succeeds everywhere, even at' the south 

 where most varieties of red Raspberries fail. 

 Its dull red color gives even freshly picked 

 fruit the appearance of stale berries and for 

 this reason it usually does not sell well in 

 market. Ripens in midsea'son until late. 



As Columbian and Haymaker are so very 

 like Cardinal and no better, we omit them from 

 the catalog. Tips, dozen, 50c.: 100. S2.00: 1,000, 

 $15.00. Transplanted, dozen, 75c.; 100. $3.00. 



GOLDEN QUEEN. — Though not red, we 

 class this with the red varieties, as it is of the 

 same habit and requires the same culture. A 

 sport of the Cuthbert and similar to it in all
