LOVETT'S NURSERY, LITTLE SILVER, N. J 



June Bearing Strawberries 



(Continued 



JL DITH. — The plants come into bearing very early 

 and ( ondnue through a long season. The large well- 

 flavorei fruit maintains its size uniformly throughout 

 the season. The deep red berries are large, pointed 

 in shape, and of a deep red color throughout, to the 

 core. They are firm and full of juice — a combination 

 that makes this variety ideal for both home and 

 market garden purposes. Dozen, $1.25; 100, $8.00. 



LUPTON.— We consider this one of the best sorts, 

 if not the very best late-season variety; furthermore, 

 it is one of the most productive, bearing fruits of 

 immense size. Lupton is a very heavy yielder 

 Berries are large (see natural-size fruit shown on 

 page 15 j. bluntly conical, bright flame-colored, 

 glossy and retain their color after being picked; has 

 a large, double dark-green calvx or "burr." hence 

 is very showy; it is also very firm 



MARSHALL. — This is a real quality' berry, 

 and those who have made 

 its acquaintance will be 

 satisfied with no other Like 

 many of our best sorts, it 

 should be grown on good 

 loamy fertile soil to produce 

 best results. It is a very at- 

 tractive large berry (see illus- 

 tration), of rich quah;y and 

 meaty texture, ripening in 

 midseason. .One of the best 

 varieties for forcing under glass 

 in winter.

NEW YORK. — -Another "qualitv ' berry ripening 

 in midseason. It is in many respects very much like 



McKINLEY.— The high 

 quality of its fruit raised this 

 variety to an unrivalled posi- 

 tion for the home garden, 

 before the appearance of the 

 Van Fleet Hybrids. It is 

 pre-eminently a variety for 

 the home garden, being too 

 tender in texture to endure 

 shipment. The berries are 

 too large, handsome and freeb 



growing plants. Ripens in mid-season 



Marshall, but appears to give better results under 

 less exacting soil conditions than does that popular 

 old sort 



NICK OHNIER. — This 

 v' splendid old variety, because 



^ of its vigor of growth and 



high quality, is still in great 

 demand : we regard it as 

 among the very best of the 

 midseason to late sorts. Pro- 

 duces extra large fruit of 

 superlative quality Good 

 for forcing under glass in 

 winter 



PEARL. — Ripens almost 

 two weeks after the other 

 late varieties have finished 

 bearing, and is consequently 

 very valuable. Belongs to the 

 giant class (see illustration 

 below). Immense in plant, 

 immense in size of fruit, im- 

 mense in everv wav. Dozen, 

 $1.50; 100, $iO.OO^ 



McKinley PREMIER.— One of the 



very best of the extra early 

 produced on strong- varieties ; in fact, we consider it excelled bv no earb 



ariety except our own EarK^ Jersey Giant It 

 succeeds on almost all sorts of well-drained soils 

 and throughout a large section of the country Pro- 

 vast quan- 



duces in 



tities berries of good 

 size, attractive ap- 

 pearance and excel - 

 lent quality (illus- 

 trated above). 



ROYAL SOVER- 

 EIGN.— "In a clas^ 

 by itself " for forcing 

 under glass in the 

 winter time. It is an 

 English variety and 

 of wonderfully high 

 quality both under 

 glass and when grown 

 out of doors. Ripens 

 from early to mid- 

 season . The true 

 variety is indeed 

 scarce. Dozen,$2.00; 

 100, $12.00.
