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



CHAMPAGNE 

 (2/3 natural size) 



HEN, nearly five hun- 

 dred years before the 

 official discovery of 

 America, Leif Erickson stumbled 

 upon our New England coast, he 

 was immediately impressed with 

 the wild grapes of our country, 

 and he called it Vineland. The 

 history of early eastern settlers 

 in America is a history of grape 

 cultivation, from Colonial days to 

 the Civil War. The old-fashioned 

 use of the Grape is now forbid- 

 den us, but we may still enjoy 

 the rich flavor of this fruit in its 

 raw state, or in jellies and pre- 

 serves, which flavor is unlike that 

 of any other fruit or delicacy.

LOVETT'S CACO GRAPE— Awarded the high- 

 est honor ever conferred upon a new grape — a 

 medal by the American Institute of New York). 

 We are indeed proud of our introduction, for 

 this Caco Grape marks the peak of grape per- 

 fection, and grapes are our oldest fruit in legend 

 and in history. Never before have appearance, 

 flavor and hardiness formed such an invincible 

 trio in one fruit. A rich wine red in color, huge 

 of berry and of bunch — that much for appear- 

 ance. Tender, luscious quality, equaling any hot 

 house grape — that much for flavor. As for hardi- 

 ness, none can surpass Caco. Rapidity of growth, 

 prolificacy, all these are Caco's, the dazzling jewel 

 of the vineyard. Prices, 2 year old, each, 90c; 

 dozen, ^9.00; 100, ^65.00. Heavy fruiting age 

 vines, each, $2.00; dozen, $20.00. Illustrated, 

 page 63. 



Agawam — A peculiarly aromatic grape, maroon 

 in color, produced in large, loose bunches. Ber- 

 ries of extra size, very meaty and juicy. Hardy, 

 and an excellent keeper. Good table grape. 

 Price, 2 years, each, 50c; dozen $5.00. Heavy 

 fruiting age vines, each, $1.00; dozen, $10^00. 

 Brighton — Adaptable and disease-resistant, with 

 large bunches of wine red berries. Rich in flavor 

 and with very few seeds. Early, vigorous and 



productive. Formerly regarded as best of hardy grapes^ 

 until dethroned by Caco. Price, 2 years, each, 50c; dozen, 

 $5.00. 



Campbell Early — A superb, early-ripening, dark blue grape. 

 Abundant, large clusters, handsome and compact. Of rich, 

 sweet flavor and a good keeper. Somewhat lacking in pollen 

 — if planted near Diamond (which is free in pollen) a per- 

 fect combination is formed. Price, 2 years, each, 75c; doz- 

 en, $7.50. 



Catawba — The standard red grape of Eastern America, and 

 our most historic grape. Large, long broad bunches of dull 

 purplish-red berries, firm and excellent for wine. Hardy.

 of sweet, sugary grapes, ideal for wine or grape 

 juice, and a good table variety. Of iron-clad con- 

 stitution, very disease-resistant, and has never 

 been known to winterkill. Price, 2 years, each, 

 75c; dozen, $7.50; 100, $50.00. Heavy fruiting 

 age vines, each, $1.50; dozen, $15.00. 

 Concord — Best known and most popular variety 

 in America. It succeeds practically everywhere. 

 Its large black berries are borne in large bunches 

 and, being covered with a decided bloom, they 

 are of most attractive appearance. Of good qual- 

 ity. 2 years, each, 25c; dozen, $2.50; 100, 

 $12.00; 1000, $95.00. Heavy fruiting age vines,

 this old standard red variety. Small, compact, 

 berries of unsurpassed quality as a table grape.

Diamond — Beautiful, large, greenish-white ber- 

 ries, sweet and of first-class quality. Hardy and 

 prolific, borne in large, compact bunches. Price, 

 2 years, each, 50c; dozen, $5.00. Heavy fruiting 

 a-Tc vines, each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00. 

 Goethe — Particularly recommended for sections 

 having a long growing season. Ripens late. An

 tory. Price, 2 years, each, 75c; dozen, $7.50.
