THE LOVETT COMPANY, LITTLE SILVER, N. J. 



Anyone not in the plant business would find it difficult to fully comprehend the joy experienced bv a nursery- 

 man who had championed a fruit when first offered and found in later years the variety had sustained its eariy 

 promise, developed no weakness, and hence demanded no retraction of what had been said in its favor. In the 

 Logan Berry we have a fruit that affords us much gratification. It is so unique and so large, beautiful and lus- 

 cious, and with all ripening so early that we cannot blame many for being incredulous as to the correctness of 

 some of the statements made in reference to it in the past. It has now. however, been fully tested and we are 

 no longer in doubt as to just what it is. 



In the Logan Berry, which is a true hybrid between the Red Raspberry and Blackberry, we have a fruit of 

 great value and one that is absolutely unique : hence it is destined to mark an epoch in fruit culture, both defi- 

 nite and pronounced. Although produced in California, it has proved hardy both at the East and Xorth. where 

 it has been fully tested. 



The berries are of great size — equalling large blackberries, which they resemble in form and structure (as 

 shown in the illustration) but are deep reddish-maroon in color. In flavor they are rich and sprightly— a mingl- 

 ing of the raspberry and blackberry, the raspberry predominating, mellowed and refined, yet distinct from 

 either — melting and without core. The flavor is so luscious, novel and rich the berry cannot fail to please every- 

 body as a dessert fruit. For canning it is superior to all the other small fruits, and for jellies and jams it is 

 unequalled also. 



The canes are of strong, vigorous growth, semi-trailing in habit, and are olothed with an abundance of large, 

 dark green, leathery foliage (as shown by the accompanying illustration which was drawn from nature). They 

 are without the large sharp thorns of the Blackberry but have numerous fine red spines, like those upon the Red 

 Raspberry, and are propagated by renting at the tips after the manner of Dewberries and Blackcap Raspberries. 

 "What gives special value to this novel fruit is its earliness — ripening as it does at the close of the strawberry sea- 

 son, and in advance o f all fait the very earliest raspberries — continuing each year to give ripe berries for three 

 weeks and perfecting all its fruit, even the last, to full size, firmness, color and flavor. 



All the plants ice offer were propagated from the original stock and are strictly pure and true. We cau- 

 tion planters against purchasing the seedling plants that are being offered by some nurseries: they are unreli- 

 able and of little value.
