THE LOVETT COMPANY, LITTLE SILVER, 

 MILLER (Miller's Red.) 



1ST. J. 



Now well known 

 and popular, yield- 

 ing heavy crops 

 and bringing prof- 

 itable returns 

 every year. As we 

 took a prominent, 

 part in the intro- 

 duction of this fine • 

 variety , we are 

 greatly pleased to 

 know it is giving 

 general satisfac- 

 tion throughout 

 the country. TTe 

 have fruited it 

 quite largely, hav- 

 ing in bearing for 

 the past two years 

 a field of nearly ten 

 acres of it, hence 

 speak advisedly 

 when we say it is a 

 thoroughly rel table 

 variety and one ap- 

 proaching perfec- 

 tion as a market 



raspberry. The canes are of stout habit, attaining a height of six feet and entirely hardy without prot&tion. 

 Its season is early and it is exceedingly prolific. " Berries large, ronnd and of the brilliant crimson of the old 

 Brandywine; which color they retain under all conditions and circumstances. It is sweet and pleasant but not 

 of high quality. In firmness it is indeed remarkable. During the past picking season it rained at Monmouth 

 almost every day from the opening until the close, yet Miller went to market bright and fresh in color and in 

 good condition; every shipment selling at the top of the market. Uniting as it does, large size, beautiful and 

 enduring color, great firmness and superior shipping and keeping properties, with vigorous, strong upright habit 

 of cane, hardiness, great productiveness and ripening early, it is indeed a most valuable red raspberry. 



We have an enormous stock of plants (the largest and finest stock of it we are quite sure in the country) 

 ichich we offer at the very low prices named below. Our stock is the genuine Miller. In purchasing we caution 

 planters against a tvorthless variety ichich is being largely sold for it. 



Strong well rooted plants, doz., 25c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $5.00. 

 Columbian. In size of both plant and fruit it is colos- 

 sal the canes sometimes reaching a height of from ten 

 to twelve feet, perfectly hardy, and literally loaded 



with berries which, in general appearance, resemble 

 those of Shaffer's Colossal, being of the same large size, 

 globular form, and deep purplish-red color, but sweeter, 

 more highly flavored and less soft. The foliage is large 

 and abundant without any trace of scald or rust. It 

 succeeds perfectly at the South and is the most desir- 

 able of all raspberries for canning, jams. etc. Midsea- 

 son to late. Doz., 50c;. 100, 62.50; 1000, $20.00. 



CONRATH. 



All Summer. The best of the so-called everbearing 



raspberries, with erect, vigorous, hardy canes and large, 

 dark green, sun-enduring foliage, silvery-white be- 

 neath. Berries large, crimson and fine in quality, pro- 

 duced abundantly in July and again later in the season. 

 Succeeds at the South. Doz., 50c; 100, 63.00. 



Cuthbert (Queen of 

 the Market). Once the 

 leading standard red 

 raspberry and largely 

 planted for maket. It 

 has proved of great 

 adaptability to all 

 parts of the country,, 

 and yields great profit. 

 There is no red rasp- 

 berry of its season so 

 good. The canes are 

 hardy and of strong 

 growth with large, 

 healthy foliage ; ex- 

 ceedingly productive. 

 Berries large, crimson, 

 firm and good. Mid- 

 season to late. Doz.. 

 35c; 100, 81.00; 1000, 67.00. 



COIN^ATH. The best early black raspberry yet offer- 

 ed; being far superior to Souhegan, Palmer or any of 

 the early black varieties. In make-up of fruit and 

 plant it resembles the Gregg somewhat but the berries 

 are jet black, ripen with the very earliest, are firm, 

 sweet, meaty and very large; maintaining their large 

 size to the close of the season. The fruit is almost en- 

 tirely without bloom, always attractive, and commands 

 the top price in market. Canes of strong, vigor- 

 ous, upright habit, with clean, healthy foliage — never 

 scalding or mildewing — and wonderfully prolific — fully 

 equalling any variety in cultivation and yielding dou- 

 ble the quantity of Gregg per acre. In a word it unites 

 earliuess, large size, beauty, firmness, high quality, 

 productiveness, vigorous growth, healthy foliage and 

 hardiness; rendering it a variety of great value. - (See 

 illustration). Doz,, 30c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $8.00.
