LOVETT'S NURSERY, LITTLE SILVER, N. J. 



Lovett's for Qarden Fruits and 

 Other Nursery Stock 



For nearly half a century this nursery has 

 specialized in growing a better plant product of 

 such fruits as Strawberries, Raspberries, Black- 

 berries, Grapevines and other $mall Fruits for 

 the home garden. Gradually we broadened our 

 endeavors by adding, as specialfies, Roses, 

 hardy "old-fashioned flowers," shrubs, hedge 

 plants, etc. Grown by specialists, plants from 

 Lovett's Nursery combine all characteristics 

 necessary for success on jyour grounds. Give 

 them a chance! 



Other Everhearing Sorts 



or Fall-Bearing Strawberries 



Year after year we conduct comparative tests on the basis of 

 which we either add to or deduct from our lists of Strawberries. 

 The list of everbearing sorts was, we were convinced, getting 

 too long. Better qualities found in newcomers made the drop- 

 ping of some of the old-timers desirable. And so the reader will 

 find that several of the old favorites such as "Never Fail" and 

 "Lucky Boy" arc not offered this year. The reason for this is 

 that the varieties here offered are so far ahead of the old stand- 

 bys in every way that we consider it unfair, especially to the 

 newcomers to the ranks of Strawberry growers, to continue to 

 offer them. 



The fall-bearing or more properly styled. "Everbearing" 

 Strawberries are interesting and surely have decided merit. 

 Fortunately nearly all of them are excellent in quality and give 

 a heavy yield of fruit in June. The subsequent or autunm crop 

 is frequently less profuse. If, however, the blossoms are re- 

 moved from the plants until the last of June, the autumn crop 

 will be very greatly improved — both in size of yield and the 

 berries themselves. 



On moist, fertile land our pot-grown plants of these fall- 

 bearing Strawberries frequently produce some sweet, ripe ber- 

 ries in a few weeks from the time they are planted. .We advise 

 "hill culture" (done by clipping off all the runners soon after 

 they appear, thus restricting the growth to the parent plants) 

 for best results with these varieties. 



Price, Pot-grown Plants, dozen, $1.25; 100, $8.00; 

 except as noted. 



CHAMPION EVERBEARING.— In Michigan, the 

 original home of this remarkable variety, it outclasses other 

 evcrbcaring^ varieties to such an extent that it really promises 

 to crowd them all into oblivion, excepting, of course, Lovett's 

 All Season — the berry without a peer! It is claimed to produce 

 "fine dark-red delicious strawberries from July until frost" and 

 to be so very productive that 156 berries have been found on 

 one plant. It is hardy, a good plant maker and free in pollen, 

 so docs not need the association of another variety in order to 

 produce its large crops. Dozen, $1.50; 100, $10.00.
