12 LOVETT NURSERY, LITTLE SILVER, NJ.—BLACKBERRIES 



BLACKBERRIES 



When requested, plants will be sent by mail, 

 provided cash is sent for postage as per table. 



In field culture, plant in rows from five to 

 seven feet apart (according to the vigor of the 

 variety) and three feet apart in the rows. In 

 the garden, plant in rows five feet apart and the 

 plants three feet apart in the rows. 



Our blackberry plants are eith- 

 er Root-Cutting plants that have 

 been grown from pieces of roots 

 in nursery rows, or they are 

 heavily rooted transplanted 

 plants. Both are far superior to 

 ordinary or sucker plants. 



JOY BLACKBERRY 



Unites superlative quality, ironclad 

 hardiness and great 

 productiveness 



This "best of all" variety was in- 

 troduced by us ten years ago and 

 is rapidly superseding all other 

 sorts. Joy may be briefly described 

 as follows: Canes of stocky, vig- 

 orous habit (so stout and strong no 

 staking is needed), with abundant 

 large five-fingered leafage; yields 

 very heavily each year, and all the 

 canes are loaded with fruit. We 

 have never known any other vari- 

 ety, either Blackberry or Raspberry, 

 with such propensity to bear fruit 

 as the Jo}^ Blackberry. 



It has endured a temperature of twenty- 

 four degrees below zero unharmed and is 

 apparently immune to "Orange Rust," 

 "Double Blossom" and all other diseases of 

 the Blackberry. 



The berries are large, and almost as thick 

 through as they are long — a characteristic of the 

 variety — and are coal black. In rich, luscious 

 flavor, it surpasses all other Blackberries. It 

 ripens in midseason and is unquestionably the 

 best Blackberry as yet offered, for both the 

 home and market garden.

HIMALAYA. — Almost a climber, with extremely long

 small, but of sweet, brisk flavor. Transplanted plants, 

 dozen, $1.50; 100. $7.50. 



TEXAS EVERBEARING 



Bearing continuously from early August until late 

 autumn, it is truly an everbearing sort. During its 

 enti e season its strong canes are prolific in their 

 production of jet black, sweet, juicy berries, which 

 are without core and often measure an inch and 

 a half in diameter. Dozen, $1.50; 100. $7.50: 

 1.000. $60.00. Transplanted, dozen, $2.00; 100.
