J. T. Lovett Co. — Strawberries. 



Iowa Beauty (Childs).—FoT beauty of form 



and color we do not think Its equal can be found 

 anywhere— certainly we have not seen It. Beauty, 

 however, is not Its only merit, for it is of large size, 

 exceedingly Arm and of the highest quality. The 

 berries are as regular in form as Pippin apples, of 

 the shape shown in the figure and exceptionally uni- 

 form in size. Color brilliant crimson and so glossy 

 as to have the appearance of having been varnished, 

 with golden seeds laid upon the surface. Plant of 

 very vigorous though not rampant growth with a 

 perfect blossom and yielding abundantly. We have 

 fruited it two seasons and can give It our unqualified 

 commendation to those seeking the choicest fruit. 

 Like all berries of this class it requires thorough cul- 

 ture. Ripens in midseason. Doz., $2.00; 100, $10.00. 



Alabama.— A recently introduced berry that is 

 receiving much praise at the south. The plant is a 

 stout rampant grower and, In many cases, immense- 

 ly productive. The berries are large, uniform and 

 regular, bright shining red, very handsome and tlrm. 

 Early. Doz., 50c; 100, $1..50; 1000, $10.00. 



CRAWFORD. — A superb berry when well 

 grown on rich, heavy soil. The plant is then a good 

 grower and fairly productive. The fruit is large, of 

 uniform, regular shape, bright glossy crimson, solid, 

 and of excellent quality. It behaved remarkably 

 well with us the past season and is well worth grow- 

 ing when one has the proper soil for its needs. Mid- 

 season. Doz., 35c; 100, $1 00; 1000, $5.00. 



Edgar Queen (P). — From Illinois. A fine 

 strong growing variety somewhat similar in general 

 character to Sharpless, but much more prnductive. 

 The berries are large, crimson, of good quality but 

 only moderately Arm. For a near market this may 

 prove a decidedly profitable sort, and we regard It as 

 very desirable. Midseason. Doz., 35c: 100, $1.00; 

 1000, $5.00. 



Enhance. —A cross between Sharpless and 

 Windsor Chief, originated at Ada, Ohio. Plant very 

 vigorous, a strong grower, and productive. Fruit 

 large, rather irregular, dark crimson color, and firm; 

 quality good, slightly acid. It gives indications of 

 being a very profitable market berry for shipment. 

 Medium to late. Doz., 75c; 100, $3.50. 



Farnsworth.— It is chiefly as a family berry 

 for home use that this variety possesses merit, for 

 aside from its superior quality, it has no very prom- 

 inent characteristics to recommend it. Although the 

 plant is a fairly good grower it requires hill culture 

 on rich soil to render it productive. (Jiven these 

 conditions the berries are of good size and in fair 

 quantity; color pale scarlet, moderately firm, regular 

 in shape. It is decidedly a valuable sort for the home 

 garden by reason of its really flue (juality, and for 

 such it may be well recommended. Early. Doz., 

 $75c; 100, $3.50; 1000, $25.00. 



Great Pacific (P).— From Illinois. A strong 

 vigorous grower, making runners freely, and very 

 productive; the berries however are not great in size 

 but they are firm and of a handsome crimson color; 

 of fair quality but acid. Another season's fruiting 

 may show it in a more favorable light. Early. Doz., 

 50c; 100, $2.50; 1000, $5.00. 



JUCUNDA IxlIPROVE».-(.)ne of the fin- 



est and most attractive of strawbenies, excellent for 

 the home garden and for markets where large, fancy 

 fruit is in demand. It is really an improvement 

 upon the old Jucunda, the berries closely resembling 

 that old favorite and possessing all its good qualities, 

 but the plant is as strong, vigorous and free from dis- 

 ease as the Wilson. It is, indeed, a grand variety, 

 and especially valuable for its large, handsome fruit. 

 Medium to late. Doz., 50c; 100, $2.50; 1000, $15.00. 



IT! iddletield (P). — A Connecticut seedling of 

 much merit. The berry is large and beautiful, rather 

 conical, regular and uniform, dark glossy crimson, of 

 good quality. Plant vigorous and productive. We 

 regard it as a very promising variety. Midseason. 

 Doz., $1.00; 100, $5.00; 1000, $40.00. 



Standard.— Originated in Massachusetts and 

 introduced last spring. This has a good growing 

 plant with healthy foliage, and is said to produce 

 abundantly. The berries are large, bright crimson, 

 firm and of fine (luality; the flavor is brisk aad 

 spriehtly making it a valuable sort for the family 

 garden. Midseason to late. Doz., 75c; 100, $3.50; 

 1000, $25.00. 



Stevens.— Claimed to be an excellent shipping 

 berry, and hence valuable for market. The plant 

 shows no disposition to rust and is a good clean, vig- 

 orous grower. FJuit of good size, bright color, very 

 Arm and an attractive berry. Early. Doz., 50c; 100, 

 $1.50; 1000, $10.00.
