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



5 



JOE (Joe Johnson, Big Joe). — This variety 

 was introduced about twenty years ago by 

 Mr. EHas S. Black of Little Silver, X.J.. and 

 by him named Joe. Mr. Black has done a lot 

 of wonderful things since coming into this 

 world and continues to do them, but had he 



done nothing else of benefit to his fellow men ^ 

 than discover this wonderful strawberry, even 

 so his life would have been well spent. 



Joe is a midseason to late variety, fully up 

 to Chesapeake in size, hrmness and yield, and 

 superior to it in flavor and color. It also suc- 

 ceeds on a great variety of soils. This is a 

 variety that will not disappoint. Dozen, 50c.; 

 100, $1.50; 1,000, $10.00. 



^ LUPTON. — One of the most productive and 

 largest berries we have ever seen. We con- 

 sider it one of the best sorts, if not the very 

 best, fruiting late in the season. In many re- 

 spects it is quite like Gandy, though it is far 



HOWARD No. 17.— We consider this one 

 of the most promising introductions of recent 

 years. To it we give our hearty endorsement 

 for planting where good soil conditions prevail. 

 It is a second early variety and it continues to 

 bear good sized berries for a long season. The 

 berries are large, very beautiful and of high 

 quality. The plants are noticeably strong and 

 vigorous. Dozen, 75c.; 100, $2.00. 



MARSHALL. — This popular old variety is 

 highly esteemed by many, especially in the 

 Xew England States and New York. The 

 plant, of vigorous growth, with clean, healthy 

 foliage, is inclined to be unproductive except 

 upon fertile soil and under high culture. The 

 beautiful large berries, however, are of ex- 

 tremely high quality and meaty texture, ripen- 

 ing in midseason. Dozen, 50c.; 100, $1.50; 

 1,000. $12.00. 



McKINLEY. — Pre-eminently a variety for 

 the home garden, being too tender in texture 

 to endure shipment. The berries are large, 

 handsome and freely produced on strong grow- 

 ing plants. The high quality of its fruit raised 

 it to an unrivaled position for the home gar- 

 den before the introduction of the Van Fleet 

 Hvbrids. Ripens in midseason. Dozen, 50c.; 



inb. $1.50. 



NICK OHMER.— A splendid heahhy grow- 

 ing variety that fruits from midseason to late. 

 Its extra large berries are not only very at- 

 tractive, but of superlative quality. Dozen, 

 50c.; 100, $1.50. 



PREMIER.— One of the very best of the 

 extra early varieties: in fact, we consider it 



niore prolific; in fact, Lupton is a very heavy 

 yielder. Berries are large, bluntly conical, 

 bright flame-colored, glossy and retain their 

 color after being picked; has a large, double 

 dark-green calyx or "burr," hence is very 

 showy; it is also very firm. Practically ideal 

 in growth of plant and vigor. Dozen, 50c.; 

 100, $1.50; 1,000, $12.00. 



excelled by no early variety excepting our ow'n 

 Early Jersey Giant. It succeeds on almost all 

 sorts of soils (if w^ell drained) and throughout 

 a large section of the country. Produces in 

 vast quantities berries of good size, attractive 

 appearance and excellent quality. Dozen, 50c.; 

 100, $1.50: 1.000, $12.00. 



SENATOR DUNLAP.— If you want to be 

 sure of a very heavy crop of fruit, but don't 

 care much about the size of the individual ber- 

 ries, this is the varietv to plant. It does w'ell 

 on any soil excepting that which is so low^ 

 and damp as to l^e really sour. Of good qual- 

 ity for a firm berry and the berries are uniform 

 in color and shape. Largely planted for m.ar- 

 ket and found very profitable. It is a second 

 early to midseason variety. Dozen, 50c.; 100, 

 $1.50.
