J. T. LOVETT, LITTLE SILVER, N.J.— BLACKBERRIES 



BLACKBERRIES 



When requested, plants will be sent by mail, provided cash is sent for postage as per table. 



In field culture, plant in rows from five to seven feet apart (according to the vigor of the 

 variety) and three feet apart in the rows. In the garden, plant in rows five feet apart and the 

 plants three feet apart in the rows. 



Our blackberry plants are all root-cutting plants, i.e., have been grown from pieces of roots 

 in nursery rows. These are far superior to ordinary or sucker plants. 



" JOY BLACKBERRY 



Unites superlative quality, ironclad hardiness and great productiveness. 



This "best of all" variety was introduced by us nine years ago and is rapidly superseding 

 all other sorts. Joy may be briefly described as follows: Canes of stocky, vigorous habit (so 

 stout and strong it needs no staking), with abundant large five fingered leafage; yields very 

 heavily every year and all the canes are loaded with fruit. We have never known any other 

 variety, either Blackberry or Raspberry, with such an inherent propensity to bear fruit as the 

 Joy Blackberry. 



It has endured a temperature of twenty-four degrees below zero unharmed; and is apparently 

 immune to "Orange Rust," "Double Blossom" and all other diseases of the Blackberry. 



The berries are large and almost as thick through as they are long — a characteristic of the 

 variety — and are coal black. In rich, luscious flavor, it surpasses all other Blackberries. It is 

 not an early variety, ripening in midseason; with Ward, Blowers and Mersereau. 



It has more than "made good" as it has proved beyond a shadow of a doubt to be the finest 

 and the best Blackberry for American growers as yet offered, both for commercial growers and 

 for the home garden. 



Selected root-cutting plants, dozen, $1.50; 100, $7.50. 



BoxELDER Co., Utah, Aug. 16, 1921. 



I am just writing a few lines to tell you about the 

 Blackberry plants I boughl from you about four or 

 five years ago. I have a row 6 rods long, about half 

 of th& row is Texas Everbearers and the rest Joy. _ 1 

 hardly know which are the best, take it one year with 

 another, but the Joy are far ahead of the others this 

 year. Up to date I have picked ten cases this season from 

 the row and have received $3.00 per case and th-ere are 

 still more berries on the vines, possibly one more case. 

 At this rate. I figure an acre would net about $800 

 after paying for picking. 



I am more than pleased with these berries and can 



highly recommend them, 

 an acre next Spring. 



I intend to put out at least

Labette Co., Kan. 



Enclose just a few names of parties who would like 

 to have your catalog; so many took notice of the nice 

 Blackberries I got from you. I got 300 plants from you 

 and it was a sight to see the berries, especially the Joy. 

 Had four rows of them 18 rods long and picked two 

 crates from them every week for eight weeks and got 

 $6.00 per crate.
