12 LOVETT'S NURSERY, LITTLE SILVER, N J.— BLACKBERRIES 



TEXAS — A Berry Beyond Compare 



STAR OR WONDER.— This 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. 



Should be trained to stakes or trellis or over 

 an arbor, as grapes are grown, and given plenty 

 of room. 



Berries are of medium size, attractive ap- 

 pearance and rich, sprightly, luscious quality; 

 keep in good condition for a long time and 

 can be safely shipped almost any distance. 

 Ripens very late. Dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00. 



TEXAS EVERBEARING 



See illustration above. This variety, brought 

 from Africa by a i\Ir. Texas, is in many re- 

 spects exceptional and beyond compare. Bear- 

 ing continuously from early August until late 

 autumn, it is truly an everbearing sort. Dur- 

 ing its entire season its strong canes are pro- 

 lific in their production of jet black, sweet, 

 juicy berries, which are without core and often 

 measure an inch and a half in diameter. Dozen. 

 $1.00; 100, $5.00; 1,000. $45.00. Transplanted, 

 dozen, $1.50; 100, $7.50; 1,000, $60.00 



WARD. — A grand blackberry. A descendant 

 of the once famous Kittatinny and the most 

 popular variety in New Jersey at the present 

 time. The canes are of strong growth, hardy, 

 and yield a heavy crop of large, handsome ber- 

 ries of first quality annually that always com- 

 mand the top price in market. It is a reliable 

 varietv and an excellent one for the home gar- 

 den. Dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00. Transplanted, 

 dozen, $1.25; 100, $6.00. 



BLACKBERRIES 



General List of Varieties 



BLOWERS. — Many who are familiar with 

 this variety insist upon only "Blowers," for 

 it possesses the quadruple valuable qualities of 

 large size, productiveness, absolute hardiness 

 and a very prolonged season of fruiting. On 

 fertile soil the canes often grow to ten or 

 twelve feet, if unchecked. It yields very heav- 

 ily and for a long season, beginning in mid- 

 season. The fruit is large, attractive and of 

 superb quality. Twenty degrees below zero 

 has not harmed it and it is a phenomenal crop- 

 per. Dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00; 1,000, $45.00. 

 Transplanted, dozen, $1.50; 100, $7.50. 



BUSHEL BERRY.— In growth it re- 

 sembles Star or Wonder, but it appears 

 to be somewhat more vigorous. In the 

 southern part of this state, it is rapidly 

 superseding Star or Wonder. Both these 

 varieties, of course, being of long trail- 

 mg growth must necessarily be given 

 support. Though a record of a bushel 

 of fruit per plant may seem phenomenal, we 

 know this variety to hold this record, on an 

 acre patch. Transplanted, dozen, $2.00; 100, 

 $10.00. 



ELDORADO.— Considered among the high- 

 est in quality of all Blackberries. Very popu- 

 lar, especially throughout the North and North- 

 west, not only on account of its quality but 

 because of its extreme hardiness. The fruit 

 is of medium size, jet black, mild, sweet and 

 melting. A good, healthy, vigorous grower. 

 Fruits early to midseason. Dozen, $1.00; 100, 

 $4.50; 1,000, $40.00. Transplanted, dozen, $1.50; 

 100, $6.00. 



ICEBERG.— Unquestionably the best white 

 blackberries yet produced. Clusters are borne 

 very profusely in midseason and are both sweet 

 and tender. It is not as hardy as some of the 

 black varieties. Should be planted near some 

 black fruited variety for thorough pollenization 

 in order to yield freely. Dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00. 

 Transplanted, dozen, $1.50; 100, $7.50. 



KENOYER. — Ripens very early, with us by 

 July 1st. It is hardy and produces berries of 

 excellent quality, but. we regret, not very large. 

 Dozen, $1.00; 100, $4.50; 1.000, $40.00. Trans- 

 planted, dozen, $1.25, 100, $6.00. 



MACATAWA 



Classed as an everbearing sort because of its 

 very long season of fruiting. Fruit sweet, al- 

 most seedless and entirely coreless. A strong, 

 upright grower, is tremendously prolific and 

 extremely hardy. Dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00; 

 1.000, $45.00. Transplanted, dozen, $1.50; 100. 

 $7.50; 1,000, $60.00. 



MERSEREAU.— A superb berry of great 

 size, luscious flavor, great hardiness, great 

 productiveness and unusual freedom from 

 "Orange Rust." Dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00. Trans- 

 planted, dozen, $1.50; 100, $7.50. 



TAYLOR. — A most profitable late variety. 

 Clean, healthy foliage, with berries of good 

 size and almost sure to p*-oduce a good 

 crop annually. R. C. plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, 

 $4.50; 1,000, $38.00. Transplanted plants, 

 dozen, $1.25; 100, $6.00.
