Red Raspberries {Concluded) 



LCL FtdTlCC (See illustration alongside) 



Berries are borne in the fall in the same, or even 

 greater, abundance as throughout the summer 

 months. La France is extremely hardy. Often 

 reaches the height of nine feet. The late crops 

 (when the fruit is most highly prized) are at timei. 

 even heavier than the early ones. The fruit is borne 

 on racemes. Branches frequently show the remark- 

 able combination of buds, blooms, frxiit just setting, 

 green berries, and the ripened fruit. The berries are 

 deep pink, juicy and of delicious flavor. The fully 

 developed fruits are about twice as large as the 

 average, while individual drupes are two to three 

 times as large as those of the average sort. Extra 

 selected plants, dozen, $4.00; 100, $25.00. 



VICTORY— An extremely hardy, most attrac- 

 tive red variety, of record yielding power. Has en- 

 dured 30 degrees below zero without injury. Plants 

 of strongest growth, backed up by an exceptional 

 root system that stands for great resistance against 

 hot or dry weather. Selected sucker plants, 

 dozen, $2.00; 100, $10.00. Heavy transplanted 

 plants, dozen, $3.00; 100, $20.00. 



LA FRANCE— ONE OF THE GREATEST 

 BERRY DISCOVERIES

 quantities of most attractive sparkling crimson

 often of great size, contrasting with the large pure 

 white blossoms and deep green foliage, makes a 

 dazzling sight. Dozen, $1.50. Extra heavy, 

 transplanted plants, dozen, $2.50. 



STRAWBERRIES NEXT JUNE— FROM 

 POT-GROWN PLANTS SET OUT THIS FALL 



Almost half a century ago the founder of Lovett's 

 Nursery, realizing that the average garden space 

 was being utilized only about half the time, en- 

 deavored to discover some way in which this space 

 could be used late in the season. He finally hit 

 upon the scheme of grov ing Strawberry plants 

 in Pols. These could be set out at any time, regard- 

 less of dry weather, and their firmly established 

 roct systems would insure good results. 



It's a great satisfaction to set plants of the type 

 shown below, into one's garden. When the ship- 

 ment reaches you, get a bucket of water and, before

setting each plant in its allotted place, dip the root 

 ball into the oucket and squeeze it gently so as to 

 loosen the compact root system, giving it an easy- 

 chance to spread. All varieties offered in this 

 catalog have perfect flowers, so that there is no 

 need of growing more than one variety, unless you 

 choose. Our suggestion would be to plant three 

 varieties, early, midseason and late, assuring you 

 a continuous crop for several weeks, unless you 

 grow Everbearing varieties, which will give you 

 crops for several months.
