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



ST. REGIS EVERBEARING OR RANERE 



A unique red Raspberry and all things considered, 

 the most valuable one that has appeared in the last 

 quarter of a century. It was introduced by us in 

 1910 and by sheer merit has forged ahead by leaps 

 and bounds until it now stands at the top of the list 

 of red varieties. The berries, though not of largest size, are bright red, and of excellent qual- 

 ity. It ripens very early — in advance of all other red varieties — and the canes in addition to 

 being very hardy and drought-resistant, are exceedingly prolific. Its leaves do not scald nor 

 rust, hence it succeeds on hot, sandy soil, where other varieties fail. 



In addition to giving an immense crop in summer, it also gives an autumn crop; con- 

 tinuing to produce perfect berries of full flavor and in generous quantity until the ground 

 freezes. Unlike all other Raspberries, it yields a moderate crop of berries the first season if 

 planted in autumn or early spring. 



The St. Regis sends up suckers or young plants excessively and unless these are kept down 

 (to a single row of plants or three to four plants to the hill) with hoe or otherwise, treating 

 the surplus ones as weeds, the crop of fruit will be small: both in quantity and size of the berries. 

 Selected suckers, dozen, 50c.; 100, $2.00; 1,000, $12.00. Transplanted plants, dozen, 75c.; 

 100, $3.00; 1,000, $15.00. 



WELCH or HONEY.— So sweet and rich in 

 flavor, this is known as "Honey" Raspberry. 



A midseason variety with berries of extra large 

 size, good bright crimson color and honey 

 sweetness, melting and luscious; the finest in 

 quality of any ofifered. It is not firm enough 

 to ship well a long distance. The canes are 

 vigorous, hardy and productive. A profitable 

 variety for local market and superb for the 

 home garden. Dozen. 50c.; 100, $2.00: 1,000, 

 $12.00. Transplanted, dozen. 75c.; 100, $3.00. 



WINEBERRY (Japanese Wineberry).— De- 

 cidedly unique and valuable as an ornamental 

 plant as well as for its beautiful fruit. It is a 

 strong, rampant grower, the canes being thick- 



V 



ly covered with purplish-red hairs. Berries are 

 of medium size, the color of sherry wine, 

 sparkling, with a brisk, pleasant, sub-acid 

 flavor. Canes as hardy as an oak, and yield 

 enormously, for a long season. Excellent as a 

 desert fruit, but especially valuable for canning 

 and for making a delicious wine. Tips, dozen. 

 60c.; 100, $2.50. 



BLACK RASPBERRIES 



Popularly termed Black Cap Raspberries 

 They are propagated by layering the ends of 

 the canes in earth which causes them to emit 

 roots and form plants. See cut on preceding 

 page. The transplanted plants are sure to 

 grow and are especially commended to ama- 

 teurs. 



BLACK DIAMOND.— In this we have a 

 very superior early black cap; one producing 

 fruit of large size, firm texture and of high 

 quality with a prolific cane of strong growth 

 and ironclad hardihood. Berries are almost as 

 large as those of the Kansas and of sugary 

 flavor. Unsurpassed for evaporating. Ex- 

 tremely popular in western New York where 

 it is largely grown. Tips, dozen. 50c.: 100, 

 $2.00: 1.000, $12.00. Transplanted, dozen. 75c.; 

 100. $3.00.
