THE LOVETT COMPANY, LITTLE SILVER, N. /. 47 

 Gotten Queen. The best yellow raspberry ever in- Kansas (Cap). The best of the standard blackcaps-, 



troduced and especially desirable for the home garden. 

 In all but color it is identical with Cuthbert, possessing 

 canes of equal vigor and even greater productiveness. 

 Berries are large, -of a bright golden yellow and of high 

 quality. Midseason. Doz., 30c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $8.00. 



Gregg (Cap). Once the leading market blackcap and 

 still popular but it requires strong soil and good culture 

 and its canes are not always entirely hardy, hence has 

 been somewhat superseded by newer and better vari- 

 eties. It is very fine, however, the berries being large, 

 black with heavy bloom, firm, meaty and of fine 

 flavor. Midseason. Doz., 25c; 100. $1.00; 1000, $6.50. 



Lovett (Cap). Distinct from all others and desirable 

 for its earliness and productiveness. The canes are 

 thornless, strong growers and very hardy. Berries 

 large, jet black, firm, sweet and of fine flavor, keeping 

 in good condition for a long time. Doz., 40c; 100, $1.25; 

 1000, $10.00. 



Marlboro. A fine variety for northern or cool loca- 

 tions, where it succeeds admirably but fails under hot 

 suns. The berries are large, bright crimson, moderate- 

 ly firm and of good quality. Canes hardy, vigorous 

 and productive. Early. Doz., 30c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $8.00. 



S0illltga.fi (Tyler) -Cap. A well-known early market 

 blackcap having the merit of ripening its entire crop 

 within a short time. Berries medium to large, jet black, 

 firm, sweet and good. Canes robust, hardy and ex- 

 ceedingly productive. Doz., 30c; 100, $1.00: 1000, $6.50. 



Thompson's Early Prolific. Its tough healthy foliage 

 renders this well adapted to the South whilst its earli- 

 ness and bright color has made it profitable everywhere, 

 but it is now altogether surperseded by Miller which 

 possesses all its merits to a much greater degree. The 

 berries are medium to large, firm, and bright crimson. 

 Doz , 30c; 100, $1 00; 1000, $7.00. 



Turner (Southern Thornless). An old popular sort 

 of remarkable hardiness and great productiveness. 

 Berries medium to large, rather soft, sweet and of fine 

 quality. Early. Doz., 25c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $6.00. 



and a vast improvement upon Gregg by reason of its 

 greater hardiness, less bloom, and earlier season of 

 ripening. It is a profitable market sort and its hand- 

 some appearance and fine flavor make it desirable for 

 the home garden. Berries as large as Gregg, firm and 

 of fine quality. Its canes are of strong growth, entire- 

 ly hardy and prolific. Ripens about second early. 

 Doz., 30c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $7.00. 



Wineberry. A Japanese raspberry of very ornament- 

 al appearance. The berries are borne in large clusters, 

 each oerry enveloped by the large calyx, and covered 

 with purplish-re i hairs so thickly as to present the ap- 

 pearance of moss rose buds. These gra dually open and 

 turn back, exposing the fruit in all its beauty. The 

 berries are translucent and very beautiful, varying from 

 amber to crimson as they ripeu. In quality it is quite 

 distinct, a decided brisk sub-acid; unsurpassed for 

 canning, jelly or preserving, and makes a delicious and 

 wholesome wine. Doz., 30c; 100, $1.00. 



GOLDEN MAYBERRY. 



This unique fruit may be all that is claimed for it but 

 candor compels us to state that we are growing impa- 

 tient to see for ourselves what it is actually lik<\ We 

 have now had it for three years and although the bush- 

 es grow well, they have as yet failed to produce any 

 fruit, and we hesitate to longer publish the descriptions 

 of the originator and disseminator until we know posi- 

 tively it is what it is claimed to be. From 2% in. pols, 

 ea., 10c: 3 for 25c; doz., 75c; 100, $5.00. 



JUNEBERRIES. 



The Dwarf Juneberry is an excellent substitute for the Swamp 

 Whortleberry, which it resembles in general appearance and 

 quality, but is of the easiest culture. The fruit is borne in clusters, 

 as shown in the engraving, of a reddish-purple color changing to 

 bluish-black. In flavor it is of a mild, rich, sub-acid; excellent 

 as a dessert fruit or canned. Extremely hardy, enduring ex- 

 treme cold and the heat of summer without injury. In habit it 

 is similar to the currant, the bushes attaining the same size and 

 literally covered with fruit in June. The blossoms are quite 

 large and composed of fine white petals; which, with its bright, 

 glossy, dark green foliage, renders it one of the handsomest of 

 ornamental shrubs. As it grows from suckers, the plants fre- 

 quently have hut littie root, but they transplants© readily that 

 they rarely fail to live if planted firmly. 



Improved Dwarf. An improvement upon the common June- 

 berry, and the variety generally offered in the catalogues. It is 

 an excellent sort, very productive, but much inferior to the fol- 

 lowing. Ea., 10c; 3 for 25c; doz., 75c; 100, $4.50 (by mail); $4.00 

 (by express). 



Success. A superb variety, the result of careful crossing, and 

 it is a great improvement upon all others, in fact, the best vari- 

 ety yet produced. Perfectly free from disease, and exceedingly 

 productive; fruit delicious rich and full in flavor. Ea., 15c- 

 3 for 35c; doz., $1.00; 100, $5.00 (by mail, if desired).
