The Van Fleet Hybrid Strawberries 



(Concltided) 



Edmund Wilson— 'The Qiant Strawberry' 



This produces, we believe, the largest fruit of any variety in existence. It is a most unusual berry, 

 with so many exceptional qualities and of such superb flavor, that every home garden should have it. Not 

 so firm as some other varieties and is of a deep maroon color, hence not recommended as a commercial 

 variety. The plants are huge and vigorous. The bluntly heart-shaped berries, which are freely produced, 

 are of very dark color throughout the entire l^rry and are simply immense. Hard as it may be to believe, 

 it is true, nevertheless, that we have seen many plants of Edmund Wilson twelve inches and more in height, 

 bearing fruit that actuallv approached in size small apples, or oranges. Ripens in midseason. Dozen, 

 $1.50; 100, $10.00. 



WE AIM TO PLEASE I 



Oliver W. McClung, Brockton, 

 Mas^., recently sent us the clipping 

 as follows: 



Brockton, June 23 — An excep- 

 tionally large strawberry as large 

 as a child's fist, was grown by 

 Oliver W. McClung in his straw- 

 berry bed on Herman St., Mon- 

 tello. The berry, an Edmund 

 Wilson, weighed four ounces when 

 picked. Mr. McClung has several 

 varieties and says that the robins, 

 which he says have delicate pal- 

 ates, will eat none except the 

 Wilson . 



Special Offer: 



We will send a 

 dozen each (36 in all) 

 of the three wonder- 

 ful Van Fleet Hy- 

 brids, Early Jersey 

 Giant, John H. Cook

 $4.(K); or twenty-five 

 of each for $7.50. 



Rose Cour, Walworth Co., WU- 

 consin, wTites as follows: 



"Last sumjner we ordered a 

 variety of your Strawberry plants, 

 and we are glad to say they look 

 mighty thriving at this writing, 

 so we have come back for more of 

 Lovett's specialties." 



F. A. Mason, Babylon, N. Y. 



"The John H. Cook strawberry 

 plants bore tremendously and I 

 think I will have quite an increase 

 from rimner plants this year. The 

 berries from these plants. Oh me! 

 Oh my I They were big, juic\' 

 and of wonderful flavor." 



We Are Strawberry Plant Specialists I 



While we do not confine ourselves to growing Strawberry plants exclusively, yet it is with perhaps pardonable pride ±ha± w£ 

 feel that we are rendering American Jioine Xjardeners i^l service in Strawberry plants. Doing one tiling well and doing it better 

 than anytody else, is preferable to splitting energies in many directions. This was the slogan which the founder of Lovett's con- 

 stantly impressed upon his men. And as the organization grew we made it a point to train specialists for the various departments 



The men in charge of growing our potgrown strawberry plants are true specialists. Instinctively they know the plants that 

 have the stamina. They know how to start them in pots when to lift them and when the plants are ready to give a good account 

 of themselves in the home garden patch. 



What has been said about Strawberry plants holds equally true of the various other fruits we grow, as well as many flowering 

 plants and shrubs we are in a position to furnish for home garden and grounds. 



Second only in importance to Strawberry plants is our hardy perennial flower department. On the last page of this catalog 

 yon will find offered what we consider to be one 

 of the most remarkable collections of hardy 

 flowers at a price within the reach of all. Let 

 this flower collection acquaint you with the type > i 



of hardy plants we send out. V Ji«>L.*'* Edmund Wilson — just the type 



of. berries you may grow !
