THE LOVETT COMPANY. 



ALL SUMMER. 



Among the raspberries claimed to 

 be everbearing this is undoubtedly 

 the best. It is a strong and vigorous 

 grower with stout, erect canes, and 

 large foliage, dark green above and 

 silvery-white beneath. Berries large, 

 crimson, luscious and good, produced 

 abundantly in July and again later in 

 the season. It is a good hardy vari- 

 ety, enduring extreme heat exception- 

 ally Avell and hence well adapted for 

 the South. Well worth planting in 

 every garden. Ea., 15c: 3 for 30c; 

 doz., 61.00; 100, $5.00. 



LOUDON. 



Having safely passed through the 

 severest winters without protection 

 in Wisconsin, its place of origin, this 

 may justly be conceded the merit of great hardiness. Whether its foliage will successfully withstand hot 

 suns south of New York it will require further trial to determine; but in the meantime the fact remains 



that the variety is <rery promising in- 

 deed and well worthy of planting, in lim- 

 ited numbers at least. The berries are 

 extremely large, roundish-conical, large 

 drupes, deep crimson, moderately firm, 

 rich and luscious. Canes are of strong 

 growth, with few if any thorns, and ap- 

 parently prolific. We think it will need 

 a rich moist soil, well mulched, to pro- 

 duce a paying crop for market, but we 

 have not yet fruited it sufficiently to 

 speak conclusively upon this point. It 

 is said to be a seedling of Turner crossed 

 with Cuthbert and possessing some of the 

 best properties of both parents. Season 

 late. Ea., 40c; 3 for $1.00; doz., 83.25. 



CONRATH. 



Here are combined earliness, vigor, 

 hardiness, large size, and productiveness, 

 qualities that should give it a foremost 

 rank. It resembles Gregg in many ways, 

 being probably a seedling of that variety, 

 and the fruit retains its large size to the 

 last picking. The canes are of ironclad 

 harcliness, very prolific and make a good 

 healthy growth. It is one of the best of 

 the very early sorts, equaling Souhegan 

 in all points, with the Gregg type of berry, 

 being large and firm, sweet and good; free from the woolly appearance of that berry. We regard it as exceed- 

 dingly valuable. Ea., 10c; 3 for 25c; doz., 75c; 100, 83.00; 1000, 820.00.
