J. T. Lovett Co. — Strawberries. 



Kentucky.— Popular as a late variety on ac- 

 count of its o-ood quality and productiveness, but too 

 soft for long shipments. The plant Is a good grower, 

 very productive, and, like the Downing, it succeeds 

 on all soils and under almost all conditions. Other 

 and better late sorts are now, however, taking its 

 place, and it is in much less demand now than some 

 years ago. Fruit is large and of fine flavor. Doz., 

 25c; 100, 50c; 1000, $2.50. 



Lady Rusk (P).— A productive variety of good 

 sized berries. Arm and of good quality. The plant 

 seems to suffer greatly m dry weather and it will do 

 much better in a heavy cool soil. On account of its 

 firmness and other good qualities it has proved profit- 

 able in many localities. Fruit large and of good 

 quality. Early. Doz., 35c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $5.00. 



May King.— One of the best of the early stand- 

 ard sorts. Of the Crescent type of which it is a seed- 

 ling. Plant vigorous and productive. Berries rather 

 globular, medium in size, of a bright scarlet color, 

 firm, and of excellent quality. A valuable early 

 market sort. It has clean, healthy foliage of the 

 same enduring character as its parent, but its flower 

 is perfect. Doz., 25c; 100, 50c; 1000, $2.50. 



Miami (P).— A fine berry of large size and good 

 quality but a variety demanding high culture. The 

 plant is a good grower but not sufficiently productive 

 under ordinary cultivation. It may do better in oth- 

 ec locations, and in the hands of some growers it has 

 proved very successful. The fruit is so fine that it is 

 well worthy of extra care and culture. Late. Doz., 

 35c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $5.00. 



Michel's Early (Osceola).— A very early vari- 

 ety of the Crescent type with a vigorous and healthy 

 growing plant, but at Monmouth decidedly lacking 

 in productiveness and quality. At the South, we are 

 Informed, it bears abundantly, and, like Hoffman, is 

 best adapted for southern growing. It comes from 

 Arkansas, where it is highly valued. Doz., 25c; 100, 

 50c; 1000, $2.50. 



-Ripens early, very closely suc- 

 ceeding Crystal City,and a week 

 in advance of May King. The 

 fruit is of large size, bright 

 crimson color, quite regular 

 and uniform, holding its size to 

 the end of the season, excep- 

 tionally firm and of superior 

 quality. The plant is small, 

 like Crescent, and although 

 clean and free from disease has 

 of late manifested a feebleness of growth. For an 

 early berry for the home garden or on rich heavy 

 soil where an extra early berry is profitable to raise 

 for market, this variety is unsurpassed. Doz., 25c; 

 100, 50c; 1000, $3.00. 

 Parry.— This is similar to Jersey Queen of which 

 it is a seedling but it is better 

 altogether and, moreover, pos- 

 sesses a perfect flower. The 

 plant is vigorous and produc- 

 tive but it requires heavy, rich 

 /soil and good culture. Fruit is 

 uniformly large and beautiful, 

 moderately firm and of good 

 quality. Brings a high price 

 in market by reason of its fine appearance. Doz., 25c; 

 100, 50c; 1000, $2.50. 



MONMOUTH. 



Pearl.— A vigorous grower and productive bear- 

 er. It does well under or- 

 dinary culture, is well 

 adapted to general cultiva- 

 tion, and is a profitable 

 market sort. The berries, 

 are large, bright glossy 

 crimson, conical, firm, and 

 of good flavor. A profitable 

 sort for market growers and 

 valuable for the home gar- 

 den. One of the very best 

 second early sorts. Doz., 

 25c; 100, 50c; 1000, $2.50. 



Sharpless,— Demands rich, strong soil without 

 which it is likely to prove dis- 

 appointing in yield. The 

 plant is exceedingly large and 

 vigorous and quite free from 

 rust or blight. Berries la^-ge 

 to very large, somewhat ir- 

 regular in shape, crimson, 

 moderately firm and of good 

 quality. It is a profitable va- 

 riety for a near market on ac- 

 count of its large size, and with good culture will 

 furnish an abundance of fine fruit. Doz., 25c: 100, 

 50c; 1000, $2.50. 



Stayman's No. 1 (P).— A variety of western 

 origin and thought to be a seedling of the Crescent. 

 It is much praised by western growers, but has not 

 indicated a very high value here. The plant is an 

 excellent grower with clean foliage, but upon our 

 soil lacks productiveness and size of berry. Doz., 

 50c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $5.00. 



Viola or Monarch of the West.— Though 

 introduced as a new variety this is undoubtedly our 

 old favorite berry. Plant large and thrifty. Berries 

 large, pale red and white tip, delicious flavor. Only 

 moderately Arm, but for home use one of the best. 

 Midseason. Doz., 25c; 100, 50c; 1000, $3.00. 



Walton (P).— We had bright hopes of this berry 

 from the good account of it given by its introducer; 

 but with us it is a total failure, and we cannot recom- 

 mend it. Doz., 35c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $5.00. 



Warfield (No. 2) P.— A rival to the Crescent in 

 yield and exceeding it in size, beauty and firmness. 

 In quality it is good, pleasant, subacid. A vigorous 

 grower with bright healthy foliage. It is a valuable 

 market sort and will give good satisfaction. Early. 

 Doz., 25c; 100, 50c; 1000, $2.50. 



White Novelty.— Of the Alpine or everbearing 

 species, being of strong growth and fruit larger than 

 the old White Alpine. Doz., 35c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $5.00. 



Wilson.— The popular old market sort. Still re- 

 tained for its many good qualities. To obtain best 

 results it should be grown upon rich, heavy soil and 

 the beds renewed often, when it is larg;e and produc- 

 tive. Its earliness and firmness are the qualities that 

 have made it valuable in the past. As generally 

 grown now it lacks vigor and vitality. Early. Doz., 

 25c,- 100, 50c; 1000, $3.00. 



Yale.— A fine handsome berry but the plant is so 

 susceptible to rust that it will only succeed in cool 

 soils and locations. When well grown the fruit is 

 large, very firm and of a high rich flavor. Well 

 adapted to the amateur who will give it careful cul- 

 ture. Late. Doz., 50c; 100, $2.50; 1000. $15.00.
