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



KEVITT'S HYBRID— One of the hardiest 



RASPBERRIES— Continued 

 COLUMBIAN (Cap) 



A giant variety that may well be described 

 as a "purple cap" sort, quite distinct from either 

 the red-fruited or black-cap varieties. The fruit, 

 which is of a dull purple-crimson, is of high 

 quality and is excellent for making jelly and 

 jam. Canes both hardy and prolific. Succeeds 

 everywhere, even in the South, where most va- 

 rieties of red Raspberries fail. Because of its 

 dull red color it does not usually sell well in 

 market, but for the home garden it is one of 

 the very best. Ripens in midseason, continuing 

 quite late. Extra heavy tip plants, dozen, $1.00; 

 100, $5.00. 



CUTHBERT.— Introduced by us in 1878. 



For twenty-five years it was the most largely 

 planted of all red Raspberries and is still very 

 popular. Berries of large size, deep crimson, 



moderately firm and of high quality, being rich 

 and spicy. Canes of strong growth, with large, 

 healthy foliage, but not entirely hardy during 

 severe winters. Ripens in midseason until late 

 and succeeds everywhere, even in the South. 

 Sucker plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00. 



KEVITT'S HYBRID 



A strong growing, large-fruited variety that 

 appears to be perfectly hardy. It was one ot 

 the few varieties to come unharmed through 

 the recent severe winters. Ripens here about 

 June 15th and continues for about four weeks. 

 It is indeed a very promising red-fruited sort, 

 Selected sucker plants, dozen, $2.00; 100, $10.00. 



GOLDEN QUEEN.— Though not red, we 

 class this with the red varieties, as it is of the 

 same habit and requires the same culture. A 

 sport of the Cuthbert and similar to it in all 

 respects except color, which is a clear, trans- 

 lucent amber. Of luscious quality and a valu- 

 able variety for the home garden. Introduced 

 by us in 1885, and by far the best yellow fruited 

 variety. Sucker plants, dozen, $1.50; 100, $10.00. 



KING. — This combines earliness, bright col- 

 or, firmness and excellent quality of its berries 

 with vigorous growth, productiveness and hardi- 

 ness of cane in an extraordinary degree. Its 

 crimson berries are exceedingly bright and live- 

 ly in color and so firm as to endure long ship- 

 ment without change. Sucker plants, dozen, 

 $1.00; 100, $5.00. 

 VICTORY— An extreme^^y hardy, most at- 

 tractive red variety, of record yielding power. Has 

 endured 30 degrees below zero without injury. 

 Plants of strongest growth, backed up by an ex- 

 ceptional rootsystem that stands for great resist- 

 ance against hot or dry weather. Altogether a 

 decidedly worth-while acquisition, judged on the 

 basis of ten years' records on the originator's 

 grounds. Heavy transplanted plants, dozen, $3.00; 

 100. $20.00. 



WELCH.— So sweet and rich in flavor, this was 

 at one time offered as "Honey Raspberry." A mid- 

 season variety with berries of extra large size, 

 good, bright crimson color and honey sweetness, 

 melting and luscious; the finest in quality of any 

 offered. It is not firm enough to ship well a long 

 distance. Superb for the home garden. Sucker 

 plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00.
