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



STRAWBERRIES 



General List 



BARRYMORE. — Popular throughout the 

 New England States and a fine midseason to 

 late variety for growing where soil and cli- 

 matic conditions are inclined to be cool. Its 

 beautiful large firm berries are bluntly conical 

 and of superb quality. Dozen, 50c.; 100, $1.50. 



BRANDYWINE.— One of the few old va- 

 rieties that apparently has lost none of its 

 popularity, undoubtedly due to its general 

 adaptability. The plants produce vast quanti- 

 ties of uniformly large, bright crimson berries 

 that are not only firm enough for shipment but 

 of good quality as well. Demands deep rich 

 soil well manured in order to give best results. 

 Midseason. Dozen, 50c.; 100, $1.50 



BUSHEL BASKET.— This veritable giant is 

 creating a genuine sensation throughout the 

 New England States. We realized it must 

 have unusual merit when it was awarded the 

 Barry Gold Medal, but we are frank to state 



we did not expect to have it prove so remark- 

 ably^ fine as it has. It is an immense plant, 

 fruiting in midseason, and the fruit, though 

 unusually large, is freely produced and of high 

 ^ quality. Dozen, $1.00; 100, $3.50. 



CAMPBELL'S EARLY.— An extra early 

 variety that is grown very extensively in the 

 southern part of this State. Being a vigorous 

 healthy grower and producing, as it does, very 

 large crops of most attractive rich red berries, 

 that are firm_ enough for distant shipment, yet 

 of high quality, it is not surprising to us that 

 this variety is so popular. Dozen, 50c.; 100, 

 $1.50. 



GANDY. — Introduced by us over thirty 

 years ago and still grown commercially to a 

 greater extent than probably any other sort. 

 The texture is of the firmest, and the color a 

 bright flame. After picking, this bright color 

 remains until decay. Although the berries are 

 large to very large, the flavor is very acid and 

 not of the highest quality. It approaches per- 

 fection in vigor and growth of plant; but ex- 

 cept upon moist soil under high culture it is 

 only moderately productive. It is late to very 

 late in ripening. Dozen, SOc; 100, $1.50. 



CHESAPEAKE. — With high culture and 

 ^ especially when upon good loamy soil, this 

 berry is well-nigh perfect. The berries are 



of Varieties 



uniform in size and shape, the prevailing form 

 being heart-shaped; the color is bright crim- 

 son and the flesh firm and of excellent quality. 



The plants multiply rather sparingly, but are 

 vigorous and healthy. Ripens from midseason 

 to late and retains the large size of its berries 

 much longer than do most sorts. Dozen. 65c.; 

 100, $1.75; 1,000, $12.50. 



GLEN MARY.— An old variety that still 

 retains its popularity, especially throughout 

 the Middle and New England States, where it 

 does best. Because of its superb quality and 

 tremendous productivity it is, without doubt, 

 one of the most satisfactory varieties to grow, 

 especially in the home garden. As the blos- 

 soms are inclined to be lacking in pollen, it 

 should be planted near some good polleniz^r 

 such as Joe. Dozen, 50c.; 100, $1.50. 



HUNDRED DOLLAR.— A very valuable 

 midseason variety. The plant is a strong, 

 vigorous grower and among the most prolific. 

 It ripens in midseason; the berries, which are 



hardly firm enough for distant shipment, aver- 

 age very large indeed; the color is bright scar- 

 let and the quality mild, sweet and luscious. 

 There are indeed few varieties more valuable 

 for nearby markets or for the home garden. 

 It reminds us of the famous Chas. Downing 

 of forty years ago, but is superior to that 

 grand old variety, even in its palmy days. 

 Dozen, 50c.; 100, $1.50.
