THE LOVETT COMPANY, LITTLE SILVER, N. J. 



CONNECTICUT, 



(REDUCED ONE-HALF). 



Of great value for its hardiness, reliablity and fine 

 fruit. Large and handsome, golden yellow with red 

 cheek, rich and fine in quality with superior, high flavor. 



Tree a vigorous grower and heavy, annual bearer, with 

 fruit buds so hardy that it never fails to produce a crop, 

 even in New England. In northern sections of the 

 country where a very low temperature often quickly 

 follows a few warm days in winter or early spring it is 

 very desirable to possess a variety of more than usual 

 hardiness for regular yearly bearing; the ordinary 

 leading standard varieties cannot be depended upon in 

 such sections for regular crops. The Connecticut will 

 produce a crop of fine fruit every time. 1st. c, ea., 15c; 

 doz., $1.25; 100,88.00. Medium, ea., 12c; doz., $1.00; 

 100, 6.00. 



DELAWARE. 



Peach growers will appreciate the value of this splen- 

 did new variety when we say that it is an improvement 

 upon Mountain Rose, of which it is a seedling, ripen- 

 ing just after Hale's Early and before Troth. It re- 

 sembles its parent very much in general appearance 

 and possesses all its good qualities but is a much better 

 shipper and ripens considerably earlier. It is not an 

 untested novelty but has been fruited for several years 

 with great profit. It is bound to be in great demand 

 as soon as fully known. 1st. c. ea., 25c; doz., S2.50; 

 100, $15.00. Medium, ea., 15c; doz'., $1.50; 100, $10.00. 



SOUTHERN PEACH PITS. 



We use hundreds of bushels of Peach Pits yearly, for our planting, and procure them 

 in large quantities from the collectors. Having more than we need for our own planting, 

 we offer choice Southern Natural Peach Pits as follows. The prices quoted cover cost of 

 sacks and cartage to depot. Quart 30c; peck, 50c; bushel, $1.50; by freight or express. 



PLUMS. 



Plant 16 to 18 feet apart each way. 



Our stock of Plum trees of all classes is large and exceedingly fine — straight, handsome, vigorous trees that 

 are sure to please, both now and when in bearing. 



EUROPEAN VARIETIES. 



These varieties should be given heavy soil. The curculio must be baffled by jarring or repelled by smudging, 

 to save the crop; and the "black knot" removed from all trees as soon as it makes its appearance, and burned. 

 Grown on Plum Stocks, first class, 5^ to 7 ft., ea., 20c; doz., $2.00; 100, $12.00.
