LOVETT'S NURSERY, LITTLE SILVER, N. J. 



PEACHES 



(Concluded) 



Primrose — Belle, crossed with Elberta, gives us 

 this splendid peach. A yellow fleshed, freestone, 

 ripening just before Elberta. Of splendid quality. 

 Radiance — Belle again produces a winner, 

 crossed this time with Greensboro. Radiance has 

 the general appearance of Belle, but ripens just 

 after Cumberland. 



Rochester — A valuable yellow freestone, which 

 bears when quite young, producing beautiful, 

 large, orange yellow fruit of superb quality. Juicy 

 flesh of delicious flavor. Good keeper and ship- 

 per, and tree is especially vigorous.

A BRANCH LADEN WITH DOUGLAS PEARS 



Dwarf Fmit Trees 



BEARING STANDARD SIZE FRUITS 

 Plant 10 Feet Apart Each Way 



■'Why plant dwarf fruit trees?" you may ask. 

 Well, in the first place, they may be planted at 

 eight or ten feet spaces, not twenty-five or thirty. 

 Secondly, the fruit is more easily picked, and the 

 trees are more easily pruned. Thirdly, they 

 bear a large crop of full size fruit, being dwarf in 

 size of tree only. Finally, they are neat, com- 

 pact trees to fit in the landscape design.
