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



WILLIAM BELT.— Of all the many varie- 

 ties of the Strawberry grown today, William 

 Belt is, undoubtedly, the most popular. The 



plant is vigorous, though not a rampant grower, 

 succeeds upon almost all soils, invariably yields 

 very heavily and the berries are always of large 



size and high quality. Its flesh is solid and deep 

 crimson in color, while the blossoms are large 

 with abundance of pollen. It begins to ripen 

 quite early and continues until almost the close 

 of the season ; the last berries being large, hand- 

 some and full-flavored. Indeed, it is a king 

 among Strawberries, as it is firm and among 

 the largest — many of the berries being of great 

 size — and gives large pickings for a longer period 

 than almost anv other variety. Dozen, 35c. ; 

 100, $1.25; 1,000.' $8.00. 



POT GROWN STRAWBERRIES 



]\Iuch preferred by many gardeners. They 

 transplant without loss, and if planted in early 

 spring will produce a partial crop of nice berries 

 the first season, especially the fall-bearing va- 

 rieties. Barrymore, Brandyw'ine, Campbell's 

 Early, Gandy, Hundred Dollar, Joe, Marshall, 

 Stevens' Late, Success, Wm. Belt — dozen, 75c. ; 

 100, $5.00.

 ton, Progressive. Superb— dozen, $1.00; 100, $6.00. 

 Ideal, Peerless— dozen. $1.25; 100, $7.50. 



FALL-BEARING STRAWBERRIES 



The fall-bearing or so-styled "Everbearing" Strawberries are interesting and have merit, 

 but as yet there has been none offered that anywhere near equals in size and beauty of berry 

 the choice "June only" varieties. Fortunately nearly all of them are excellent in quality and 

 give a heavy yield of fruit in June. The subsequent or autumn crop is much less profuse. If, 

 however, the blossoms are faithfully removed from the plants until the middle to the last of 

 June, the autumn crop will be very greatly improved — both in size of yield and the berries 

 themselves. Aside from removing the blossoms by hand picking, the culture of these autumn- 

 bearing varieties is the same as other Strawberries. 



Upon moist, fertile land these fall-bearing Strawberries give sweet, ripe berries in a few 

 weeks from the time they are planted. We advise *'Hill Culture" for best results with these 

 varieties. 



Taking into account all its properties, this is the best and most valuable of the Fall or 

 Everbearing varieties as yet fully tested. In a general way, it is a good deal like the popular 

 Superb, with larger berries. The plants, however, are better growers and more prolific. From 

 our knowledge to date, if confined to a single variety, Advance is the one we would plant. 

 The berries are nearly round, of good size, quite uniform in size and shape, deep crimson, 

 firm, of meaty texture and of good quality. Dozen, 50c.; 100, $2.00; 1,000. $15.00. 



y IDEAL 



Of recent introduction and of much promise. 

 In vigor and size of plant it is a decided im- 

 provement upon the older varieties and the ber- 

 ries are of large size. Has not as yet been 

 sufficiently tested at Monmouth to determine 

 fully its value. Dozen, 50c.; 100, $2.00; 1,000, 

 $15.00. 



PEERLESS 



A new variety, regarded by Mr. Cooper, the 

 originator, as very much superior to all the other 

 varieties produced by him. It has a beautiful 

 plant, but we are as yet unable to speak defi- 

 nitelv of its productiveness or other desirable 

 properties. Dozen. 50c ; 100, $1.75; 1,000, $12.0a
