J. T. LOVETT, LITTLE SILVER, N.J.— BLACKBERRIES 



LA GRANGE 



This is unique in its habit of growth, sending 

 out fruit stems from the ground up, each stem 

 having abundant foliage. Unlike other varieties, 

 which as a rule produce the fruit at the ends 

 of the canes and stems, the fruit of La Grange 

 ripens in the shade, and is, therefore, of supe- 

 rior quality. When the first crop of berries are 

 about two-thirds grown, a second crop of blos- 

 soms appear, thus giving a long season of fruit. 

 It begins to ripen early in July and continues 

 for four or five weeks, yielding heavily. In 

 addition to the extreme hardihood of its canes, 

 it is a very valuable variety by reason of its 

 large yield, early ripening, long season of fruit- 

 ing, and particularly the fine size and superb 

 quality of its fruit. R. C. plants, dozen, 75c; 

 100, $3.50. Transplanted plants, dozen, $1.00; 

 100, $4.50. 



MACATAWA 



The berries of this are large, sweet, coreless 

 and almost seedless. Canes of strong growth, 

 upright habit, great hardihood and are tremen- 

 dous yielders. It gives ripe fruit for such a 

 long season that it has been termed "everbear- 

 ing" by some growers. R. C. plants, dozen, 

 75c.; 100, $4.00. Transplanted plants, dozen, 

 $1.00; 100, $5.00. 



MERSEREAU 



An excellent variety, introduced by us over 

 fifteen years ago. The canes are of ironclad 

 hardihood and the berries are of good size and 

 of excellent quality. Formerly it was not pro- 

 ductive enough to suit us on some soils, but of 

 late years it has proved to be exceedingly pro- 

 lific and profitable with many growers, who re- 

 gard it as the best variety in general cultiva- 

 tion. Exceptionally free from "Orange Rust" 

 and other diseases. R. C. plants, dozen, 75c; 

 100, $3.50. Transplanted plants, dozen, $1.00; 

 100, $4.50. 



' STAR or WONDER 



Although of recent origin it may well be 

 termed the Blackberry of many names, such 

 as Star, Wonder, Ewing's Wonder, Vineland, 

 Black Diamond, Bowerberry, Atlantic Dew- 

 berry, etc. It is indeed a wonder. Imagine 

 picking great clusters of Blackberries from 

 canes that resemble grape vines. This is what 

 you can do if you plant the Star Blackberry. 

 The yield is so great that over eighty quarts 

 of berries have been picked from a single 

 plant of it in one season. 



Train to stakes or trellis or over an arbor 

 as grapes are grown, and give plenty of room. 



Berries of medium size, attractive appear- 

 ance and rich, sprightly luscious quality; keep 

 in good condition for a long time and can be 

 safely shipped almost any distance. 



It has made a brilliant record at the New 

 Jersey State Experimental Station, as it has 

 wherever planted. It does not ripen until late. 

 R. C. plants, dozen, 75c; 100, $4.00. Trans- 

 planted plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00. 



TAYLOR —An old variety esteemed for 

 its exceptional hardiness of cane, superior qual- 

 ity, lateness, and productive- 

 ness. Berries are of good 

 size and extra fine flavor — 

 rich, sweet and luscious. It 

 is one of the most reliable of 

 all the Blackberries and never 

 fails to mature a crop. The 

 most profitable variety for a 

 late crop and is planted by 

 many in preference to all 

 others as a money maker. It 

 has clean, healthy foliage and 

 is highly esteemed by many 

 for the home garden. R. C. 

 plants, dozen, 75c; 100, $3.50. 

 Transplanted plants, dozen, 

 $1.00; 100, $4.50. 



TEXAS EVERBEARING 



Canes of strong growth, prolific, and said to 

 be of everbearing habit, i.e., giving ripe fruit 

 from early in August until late autumn. Ber- 

 ries are jet black, sweet and juicy, without core 

 and as large as English walnuts. We hope in 

 the near future to give a full report upon it. 

 R. C. plants, dozen, 75c; 100, $3.50. Trans- 

 planted, dozen, $1.00; 100, $4.50. 



Waldo Co., Me., May 21, 1919. 

 Goods arrived in fine shape. Best I ever re- 

 ceived. I enclose another order. Kindly rush 

 them along as soon as possible.
