J, T. LOVETT, Inc., LITTLE SILVER, N. J. 



JOE (Joe Johnson, Big Joe) 



This much-named and justly famous variety 

 was produced by Mr. Ehas S. Black of Little 

 Silver, N. J., ex-president of the New Jersey 

 State Horticultural Society, who named it Joe, 

 and introduced it over twenty years ago. It is 

 a midseason to late variety, and very productive 

 of very large beautiful berries, with large bright 

 green calyx. In flavor it is one of the best. 



This most valuable strawberry ripens with the 

 Chesapeake, equals it in size, firmness and yield, 

 surpasses it in color and flavor, but unlike it, 

 succeeds upon almost all soils, and under all 

 conditions — hence is more valuable. 



It has been definitely proved by test that Joe, 

 Big Joe and Joe Johnson are one and the same 

 variety. Dozen, 6oc. ; icq, $4.00. 



MARSHALL (Henry, New York, etc.) 



An old variety highly esteemed by many, es- 

 pecially in the New England states and New 

 York. It is a large, beautiful berry of rich 

 quality and meaty texture, but one that is 

 decidedly unproductive except upon fertile soil 

 and under high culture. Plant of vigorous 

 growth with clean, healthy foliage. Ripens in 

 midseason. 



McKINLEY 



Until the appearance of the Van Fleet Hybrids, 

 this variety was unrivalled as a Strawberry of 

 high quality. Berries large, handsome and freely 

 produced on strong growing, healthy plants. 

 Ripens in midseason and is too tender in texture 

 to endure shipment. It is pre-eminently a variety 

 for the home garden. 



I STEVENS* LATE CHAMPION 



A descendant of the Gandy. It ripens late, 

 and is similar to the Gandy in many respects ; 

 except that it yields nearly twice as many quarts 

 of berries upon a given space and the berries are 

 not so uniform in size and shape and by no means 

 so handsome. One of the most prolific and 

 profitable of the late varieties for market grow- 

 ing and a valuable sort for the home garden. 



"The pot-grown strawberry plants arrived safely and 

 in perfect condition. They were moist and r ady to be 

 planted and from the care I gave them in the planting, 

 I feel sure that there will be a bumper crop next June." 

 —Dr. George Duffield (Mich.). 



"Plants received in perfect order." — William F, Draper 

 (N. Y.).
