LOVETT'S NURSERY, LITTLE SILVER, N.J.— STRAWBERRIES 



The Choicest STRAWBERRIES and How to Grow Them 



All varieties of Strawberries give the greatest 

 yield and the largest berries, w^hen grown in rich 

 soil; hence, no pains should be spared in preparing 

 the bed carefully before planting, by digging or 

 plowing deeply and turning under a liberal sup- 

 ply of well-rotted manure. Pulverize the 

 surface soil thoroughly with harrow or rake 

 and. if a top dressing of ground bone is ap- 

 plied, it will be found a great benefit at fruit- 

 ing time. 



For hill culture in the family garden, plant 

 in rows two feet apart and the plants a foot 

 apart in the rows, cutting off all runners as 

 they appear. If to be allowed to grow in 

 matted rows, set the plants in rows three 

 feet apart and the plants one foot apart in 

 the rows. 



For field culture, to be cultivated with 

 horse and hoe harrow, plant in rows three 

 and a half feet apart and the plants one foot 

 apart in the rows, requiring 12,445 plants 

 per acre. 



All the varieties offered have perfect flowers, 

 hence do not need the association of any other 

 variety in order to be fruitful. 



Save Time, Gain Crops, by Starting Your Patch With 

 POT-GROWN Strawberry Plants 



Pot-grown plants of the type we supply, as 

 illustrated on opposite page, practically save a 

 year's time. Lovett's Pot-grown Strawberry 

 Plants are vigorous young specimens grown in 

 pots, and shipped with earth about the well- 

 developed roots. Such plants will take hold at 

 once, make a thrifty growth and bear a liberal 

 crop of nice berries the first season, which, of 

 course, cannot be expected, from ordinary field- 

 grown plants. 



j\Iany gardeners, both professional and ama- 

 teur, now use pot-grown plants almost exclu- 

 sively, because they stand as a guarantee against 

 the loss of the plant, besides eliminating the 

 necessity of waiting for the crop. Of course, 

 the crop the first season is never so heavy as 

 it will be during subsequent seasons. 



Our stock of pot-grown strawberry plants 

 was ne\er better and we again offer that kind 



of a plant product that has made the name 

 "Lovett" a by-word for quality in Small Fruits. 



We are Well Prepared to fill your orders. 

 Here, at Little Silver, we grow each year ap- 

 proximately half a million pot-grown plants 

 and rare, indeed, are the instances in which 

 these plants do not measure up to the highest 

 expectations and produce complete satisfaction. 

 Xot only have we learned how to grow them 

 well, but we also know how to pack them in 

 such a way that they will reach their destina- 

 tion in perfect shape. We have shipped to the 

 Pacihc Coast to the thorough satisfaction of 

 those who had faith enough to order them 

 from us. 



Special cjuotations to those interested in ex- 

 ceptional quantities. Varieties that can be sup- 

 plied in pot-grown plants are named at the 

 head of the different classes.
