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



HARDY NUT TREES 



These must be shipped by express or freight as they are too large for mailing. 



Prices by the hundred of any variety promptly given by mail upon request. 



The Northern Nut Growers' Association has adopted the following resolution: 



"Nut trees may and do come fairly true to type but they do not come true to variety. 

 Consequently our association does not approve of the sale of seedling trees under variety 

 names." 



HARDY NORTHERN PECANS 



INDIANA. — For more than a quarter of a century we tried to grow Pecans in New Jersey 

 but without success; for after a few years the trees would be so badly injured by winter-kill 

 that we were obliged to take them out. The trouble was due to the fact that we planted the 

 Southern varieties, and to this only. It is with much satisfaction we are able to state, one 

 can grow Pecans successfully in New Jersey, and all locations where the Peach is hardy, with 

 the same ease as apples or pears are grown. In fact, with less care, as they need no spray- 

 ing and almost no attention after the trees have become established. All that is necessary is 

 to plant trees of the variety known as "Indiana" or other hardy varieties that originated in the 

 northern section of the middle west. The nuts are of good size (see illustration), have thin 

 shells and large, plump kernels of the very highest quality. The trees bear young, in three 

 to four years from planting, are beautiful as ornamental trees, yield abundantly, are abso- 

 lutely hardy and are very long-lived. 



Grown from buds taken from the original tree of Indiana, 3 to 4 feet, each, $1.50; 4 to 5 

 feet, each, $2.00. 



NIBLACK. — The nuts of this are slightly smaller in size than those of the Indiana, but 

 they have a very thin shell and the cracking properties are ideal. The tree is of lofty propor- 

 tions and extremely prolific. Grafted trees, 3 to 4 feet, each, $2.00. 



HARDY NORTHERN SEEDLINGS".— These were grown from selected nuts of hardy 

 northern varieties but have not been grafted. They will thrive and produce nuts at the North 

 but there is no way of knowing, until they bear, what the nuts will be like, 2 to 3 feet, 35c.; 

 3 to 4 feet, 50c.; 4 to 5 feet, 75c, each. 



JAPANESE WALNUT 



(Juglans Sieboldiana) 



From northern Japan and as hardy as an 

 oak. The tree is of strong, rapid growth, 

 bears when young and is exceedingly prolific, 

 the nuts hanging in large long clusters. In 

 appearance, the nuts resemble small English 

 Walnuts but the shell is hard and bony; 

 though not so thick as the ordinary Black 

 Walnut. Meat sweet, of mild flavor and de- 

 cidedly good. It reproduces true to type 

 from seed. The trees offered are seedlings. 

 5 to 6 feet, each, 50c.; dozen, $5.00. 6 to 8 feet, 

 each, 75c.; dozen, $7.50. 



BUTTERNUT 



Frequently termed White Walnut. It forms 

 a wide spreading tree and is decidedly orna- 

 mental. Its large long nuts have a thick shell, 

 with meats somewhat similar in character to 

 the Black Walnut but less oily and more deli- 

 cate in flavor. It begins to bear when quite 

 young and yields abundantly. Seedling trees, 

 3 to 4 feet, each, 35c.; dozen, $3.50; 6 to 8 

 feet, each, 50c,; dozen, $5.00. 



HARDY ENGLISH WALNUTS 



VROOMAN FRANQUETTE.— There are 

 two important properties that nearly all va- 

 rieties of the Eng- 

 lish Walnut or 

 Madeira nut lack; 

 namely, hardiness 

 and productive- 

 ness. In the va- 

 riety offered, we 

 have both prolific 

 bearing and hardi- 

 ness of tree and 

 blossom; hardi- 

 hood that fully 

 equals the Peach, 

 the trees yielding 

 annually and abun- 

 dantly. Nuts 

 large, somewhat 

 pointed, with thin shell and rich, sweet, large 

 plump meats. Tree of spreading habit, re- 

 sembling in habit the apple, of vigorous 

 growth, bears very young and requires no 

 special care or attention. The trees we offer 

 are grafted on the Black Walnut; which adds 

 vigor and hardiness. 2 to 3 feet, $1.50;; 3 to 

 4 feet, $2.00 each.
