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



BLOWERS 



ELDORADO 



In this we have a large productive and abso- 

 lutely hardy Blackberry. Blowers is a sturdy 

 grower (the canes, if unchecked, attain a height 

 of ten to twelve feet on fertile soil) and is "as 

 hardy as an oak." It yields very heavily and 

 for a long season. The fruit is handsome as 

 well as large, and is of superb quality. Its canes 

 have endured a temperature of twenty degrees 

 below zero unharmed, and it has yielded at the 

 rate of 280 bushels per acre. We have had this 

 variety in bearing for several years and think 

 better of it all the time. It begins to ripen in 

 midseason and continues for a long time. R. C. 

 plants, dozen, 50c.; 100, $2.00; 1,000, $15.00. 

 Transplanted plants, dozen. 75c.; 100, $3.00. 



EARLY HARVEST 



A well-known variety and largely grown in 

 the west and southwest. Berries rather small, of 

 pretty form, firm and of 

 mild, sweet flavor. It 

 ripens very early (by 

 July 4th at the north) 

 and the canes are very 

 prolific. We do not 

 recommend it for loca- 

 tions north of the lati- 

 tude of New York City, 

 as it is sometimes in- 

 jured in winter where 

 the mercury falls lower 

 than ten degrees below 

 zero. R. C. plants, dozen, 

 50c.; 100. $2.00; 1,000, 

 $12.00. Transplanted, dozen, 60c.; 100, $2.50; 

 1,000, $15.00. 



HIMALAYA 



A giant, indeed, in growth. Although of de- 

 lightfully sweet, brisk flavor, at Monmouth the 

 berries are small and the yield has been unsatis- 

 factory. We have, however, received so many 

 letters from patrons commending it highly that 

 we deem it proper to revise our description of it. 

 The canes are tremendous growers, and with 

 some, at least, are enormously orolific. Berries 

 jet black, very firm, but rather small. Ripens 

 late. Tips, dozen, 50c.; 100, $2.50; 1,000, $20.00. 

 Transplanted, dozen, 75c.; 100. $3.50: 1,000. $25.00. 



Especially val- 

 uable for its 

 sweetness of 

 fruit and hardi- 

 ness of cane. 

 The berries are 

 of medium size, 

 glossy, jet black, 

 mild, sweet and 

 melting. Canes 

 are vigorous and 

 productive. Its 

 season is second 

 early. R. C. 

 plants, dozen, 

 50c.; 100, $2.00; 

 1.000, $15.00. 



ICEBERG 



The best white blackberry as yet introduced. 



The berries are translu- 

 cent white, sweet and 

 tender and are borne 

 very profusely in clus- 

 ters. A unique variety. 

 The fruit of this variety, 

 mingled with black ones, 

 presents a beautiful and 

 1^ appetizing dish. Not en- 

 ^ tirely hardy at the far 

 ^ north. Midseason. The 

 blossoms are lacking in 

 pollen and it should be 

 planted near some other 

 variety in order to yield 

 freely. Sucker plants, 

 dozen. 50c. : 100, $2.50. 



KENOYER 



A very early and entirely hardy Blackberry 

 of good size and excellent quality; hence, a va- 

 riety of great value. At Monmouth it is ripe 

 by July 1st. In the past Early Harvest has been 

 the variety chiefly planted for early Blackberries. 

 Kenoyer gives berries nearly double the size of 

 it, ripens a few days earlier and the canes are 

 absolutely hardy. 



R.C. plants, dozen, 50c.; 100, $2.50; 1,000, 

 $18.00. Transplanted plants, dozen, 75c.; 100, 

 $3.50.
