J. T. LOVETT, INC., LITTLE SILVER, N. J.— STRAWBERRIES 



]/ 



LUPTON.—All things considered, this is 

 the best late ripening strawberry. It is not so 

 late as Gandy nor as beautiful as Late Jersey 

 Giant, but is so remarkably fine in plant and so 

 prolific Ave regard it as superior to either of 

 these valuable sorts — both of which were intro- 



^ STEVENS LATE.— This variety has forged 

 ahead until it stands near the top of the Hst as 

 a profitable variety for market growing and for 



duced by us. It is somewhat like the Gandy in 

 every way except that it is far more prolific, 

 being in fact a very heavy yielder and ripens 

 about five or six days earlier. Berries large, 

 bluntly conical, bright flame color, glossy and 

 retain their color after picked ; has a large double 

 dark green calyx or "burr" ; very showy and very 

 firm. It is well nigh ideal in 'growth of plant 

 and vigor. Dozen, 35c. ; 100, $1.25; 1,000, $8.00. 



MARSHALL (Henry, New York, Etc.).— An 

 old variety, highly esteemed by many, especially 

 in the New England states and New York. It 

 is a large, beautiful berry of rich quality and 

 meaty texture, but one that is not productive 

 except upon fertile soil and under high culture. 

 Plant of vigorous growth, with clean, healthy 

 foliage. Ripens in midseason. Dozen, 35c. ; 100, 

 $1.25; 1,000, $8.00. 



PEARL.— The last of all to ripen and all 

 things considered the best very late variety. The 

 berries are of colossal size, somewhat irregular 

 in form, with uneven surface, light scarlet in 

 color and of superior quality, but not very firm. 

 Plant of strong, robust habit and prolific. Un- 

 fortunately we have but a small supply of plants 

 of it. Dozen, 40c.; 100, $1.50; 1,000, $10.00. 



PURITY.— Novel and interesting. The ber- 

 ries are white throughout, shaded with cream 

 yellow when ripe, exceedingly sweet and very 

 highly perfumed. The plants multiply very rap- 

 idly and are both healthy and prolific, but the 

 berries are too small to please. If the berries 

 were larger it would be very desirable for garden 

 culture. Dozen, 40c.; 100, $1.50. 



SILVER COIN.— A midseason variety that 

 excels in uniting desirable properties. Its salient 

 points are brilliant color, luscious flavor and 

 productiveness. The berries are not only large, 

 but very nearly all of them are large and they 

 are very uniform in shape. The color is a bril- 

 liant flame red and the texture is firm. The plant 

 is of strong, vigorous habit with large foliage 

 that never rusts, blights nor mildews; fruit stalks 

 large and strong, holding the great crop of ber- 

 ries well from the ground. Dozen, 35c. ; 100, 

 $1.00; 1,000, $6.00. 



the home garden. A descendant of the popular 

 Gandy, it also ripens late and resembles it in 

 other properties, yielding two quarts to one of 

 the Gandy. The berries are somewhat irregular 

 in shape, but average very large and are of high 

 quahty. One of the most prolific and profitable 

 of late ripening varieties and one of the best for 

 the home garden. Dozen, 35c.; 100, $1.00; 1,000, 

 $6.00. . . 



SUCCESS. — ^All things considered, this is 

 one of the best early varieties, both for the home 

 garden and nearby market. Berries slightly ob- 

 long with blunt end, bright scarlet or flame color, 

 quite large and uniform in size, color and shape. 

 Plants are vigorous, healthy and very prohfic. It 

 is an improved form of the famous Chas. Down- 

 ing of bvgone days. Though not firm enough 



in texture to endure long shipment, the Success 

 has proved to be a decided success with us. It 

 is one of our most profitable strawberries for 

 local markets. Desirable for the home garden 

 and very reliable. We have never known it to 

 fail to give heavy pickings of attractive berries 

 of high quality. Dozen, 35c.; 100, $1.00; 1,000, 

 $6.00. 



Pittsburgh, Pa., March 7, 1918. 

 Last year I bought some plants of you. I 

 bought also from other nurseries. Your plants 

 were better stock than I received from any other 

 place. Mrs. R. S. Robbins.
