THE LOVETT COJ^H^V. 



A valuable new variety that is giving much satisfac- 

 tion and is well worthy of confidence. It possesses a 

 healthy, strong plant of luxuriant growth, even more 

 productive than Bubach; the berries are medium to 

 large, globular in shape, of bright color and attractive 

 appearance, moderately firm and of very good quality. 

 It is desirable for home use or market and we offer it 

 believing that it will give general satisfaction. Early.

PRINCETON 



CHIEF (P). 



A western ber- 

 ry much praised 

 in the Icoality of 

 its origin and pos- 

 sessing merits 

 that will undoubt- 

 edly make it pop- 

 ular. It is a tall, 

 luxuriant grower 

 with large, dark 

 foliage, free from 

 rust or disease and 

 compai-es favora- 

 bly in productive- 

 ness with the best 

 of the standard 

 sorts. The berries 

 are medium to 

 large, borne on 

 long stems, of a 

 dark, glossy crimson, firm and of good quality. It 

 seems to possess all the attributes of a successful ship- 

 ping berry and there can be no fault found with the 

 plant so far as we have yet seen it. We strongly recom- 

 mend it. Late. Doz., 35c; 100, $1.00; 1,000, $7.00. 



EPPING(P), 



A comparative- 

 ly new variety 

 from New Hamp- 

 shire, remarkable 

 for great hardi- 

 ness and endur- 

 ance. The plant 

 is of strong 

 growth, with 

 abimdant foliage 

 entirely free from 

 rust or bUght, ex- 

 ceedingly p r o- 

 ductive and abun- 

 dantly furnished 

 with stout trusses 

 which hold up the 

 fruit well above 

 the ground. The 

 berries are large, 

 of regular round- 

 ish-conical shape, bright crimson, coloring up evenly, 

 firm and of sweet, rich flavor. Its extreme hardiness 

 and ability to thrive under all circumstances will make 

 it especially desirable for market, whilst its long season 

 of bearing, and good quality will commend it to the 

 home grower. Early. Doz., 50c; 100, $2.00; 1000, $15.00. 



^ GREENVILLE 



A large, showy 

 berry that will 

 certainly bring 

 rich returns to 

 those who will 

 give it the treat- 

 ment it merits. 

 It somewhat re- 

 sembles Bubach, 

 being of vigor- 

 ous plant and 

 bearing a large 

 berry that is 

 none too firm for 

 shipment, but it 

 is a profitable 

 berry to grow 

 for a near-by 

 market and will 

 give good returns under liberal treatment. The berries 

 are large and fine, bright crimson in coloi', and of excel- 

 lent quality. It is only moderately firm, but of fine 

 appearance and sells readily at sight. The plant is 

 large, robust and productive, with healthy, clean f oU- 

 age. It is much better than Bubach in quality and 

 rather firmer in flesh ; a decided improvement. Mid- 

 season. Doz., 35c; 100, $1.00; 1,000, $4.00.
