THE LOVETT COMPANY, LITTLE SILVER, N. J. 



MICHIGAN, 



Recently introduced by us and one which has proved 

 to be by far the best late strawberry yet produced. It 

 never fails to yield a crop of berries second to none in 

 value and which ripen the latest of any — being a week 

 to ten days later than the G-andy. The berries are uni- 

 formly of extra large size, bluntly conic as shown in the 

 cut, very even in size and form, deep crimson color, 

 firm and attractive. The plant is a strong grower and 

 very prolific. Every garden should contain it for its 

 supply of late strawberries and every fruit-grower to 

 lengthen the picking season and render the price a 

 profitable one. By reason of its solid flesh, rich flavor 

 and line color it is the very finest variety for canning. 

 In it are united extreme lateness, great productiveness, 

 high quality, beautv and enormous size, renderiDg it 

 of great value. Doz., 25c; 100, 75c; 1000, 84.00. 



We are more than pleased 

 with the behavior of this 

 berry. Its large yield, firm- 

 ness of flesh, bright color, 

 large, uniform size of ber- 

 ry, and fine quality com- 

 bine to make it the most 

 profitable market strawber- 

 ry we have ever handled. 

 And these same properties 

 which render it so profit- 

 able for market make it 

 also desirable and valuable 

 for the home supply since 

 the berries are both abund- 

 ant and good, and produced 

 without any petting or coax- 

 ing. J ersey Market resem- 

 bles Chas. Downing some- 

 what but is larger and firm- 

 er, whilst its abundant, 

 clean foliage is never affect- 

 ed by rust or scald, as is 

 now the case with that old 

 favorite. The berries are 

 bright crimson in color, re- 

 taining their fresh appear- 

 ance for a long time, of 

 good size though not of the 

 largest, firm and of fine 

 quality. The plant is excep- 

 tionally strong and healthy, 

 a sure and abundant yield- 

 er, with pistillate blossom. 

 It is a variety that may be 

 depended upon to produce a 

 crop of berries under all 

 conditions and it is this 

 most excellent property 

 which renders it so valu- 

 able and satisfactory. Rip- 

 ens in midseason. Doz., 35c* 

 100, 81.50; 1000, 810.00. 



CARRIE CP). 



A better berry everyway than its parent, Haverland, 

 being larger, firmer and brighter in color whilst the 

 plant is equally as productive, and a good grower with 

 healthy foliage. It is thus an excellent market vari- 

 ety, very desirable either for shipping or local trade, 

 and indeed for any purpose. It is a decided improve- 

 ment upon Haverland and certain to give great satis- 

 faction under good treatment, wherever grown. Mid- 

 season. Doz., 81.00; 100, 86.00. 



EARLIEST. 



Well and truly 

 named inasmuch as 

 its fruit is ripe and 

 gone before most of 

 the other early vari- 

 eties begin to ripen. 

 It is a seedling of 

 Michel's Early which 

 it somewhat resem- 

 bles both in plant 

 and fruit but the ber- 

 ries are larger and 

 the plant more pro- 

 ductive. The color 

 is bright and the 

 flesh firm, and good 

 in quality. Its ex- 

 treme earliness ren- 

 ders it of inestimable 

 value, whether 

 grown for market or 

 for a very early sup- 

 ply for home consumption and it should always be 

 chosen to precede the other early sorts in ripening. It 

 is a most desirable variety for growing at the South 

 for northern shipment owing to the firmness of its 

 fruit, its productiveness, and the ability of its foliage 

 to withstand hot suns; and, in fact, all who want the 

 earliest berries should plant this, Doz,, 75c; 100, 85.00; 

 1000, 840.00.
