LOVETT'S NURSERY, LITTLE SILVER, NJ.— FRUIT TREES

FRUIT TREES 



We specialize in fruit trees as well as Small Fruits and wish to assure you that the same care 

 and application, that has caused "Lovett's for Small Fruits" to become a byword for quality, is 

 employed to make our fruit trees superior. For this reason, it is impossible to ship any of our 

 fruit trees by parcel post. In dozen lots we ship by express. Where larger quantities are 

 required we will pack so carefully that shipment by freight is perfectly safe. 



APPLES 



Apples, God's gift clad in shiny coats of yellow, red and green, with plenty of lovable 

 freckles at times, holding goodness within all the time. "An Apple a day keeps the Doctor 

 away," and a home-grown apple is worth two bought at some fancy fruit store. Here is the 

 reason why: Western Apples are "Fruits de Luxe." judged by and grown for — "Looks." They 

 do look fine, but few have the "honest-to-goodness" flavor of those grown right at home. 



Plant 30 feet apart each way, thus requiring 48 trees to properly plant one acre. 



All apple trees offered in this catalog are two years old or older, and first class in every 

 respect; we have never grown better. 



Price of all varieties of Apple trees (except Lovett), each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00; 100, $75.00. 



BALDWIN.— Early winter. Dark red, of 

 good quality. 



BANANA (Winter Banana).— Late fall. 

 Beautiful waxen yellow with blush cheek, large, 

 very beautiful, highest quality. 



BEN DAVIS.— Winter. Of inferior quality, 

 good keeper; early and heavy annual bearer. 



DELICIOUS.— Early winter. Profuse bear- 

 er. Of good size and the finest quality. 



DUCHESS (Oldenburg).— Early autumn. 

 Extremely hardy. Medium to large; yellow, 

 streaked with red; very productive. 



GOLDEN SWEET.— Early summer. Large, 

 pale yellow, tender and sweet. 



GRaVENSTEIN.— Large; yellow, nearly 

 covered with dull red. September and October. 



GRIME'S GOLDEN.— Of just medium size, 

 but very delicious; matures in early winter. 



JONATHAN.— Late winter. Round, of me- 

 dium size, fine grained and of acid flavor. 



EARLY HARVEST.— As the earliest sum- 

 mer apple, and because the fruit is excellent for 

 either dessert or cooking, Early Harvest should 

 hold a welcome place in every home orchard. 

 As the apples bruise badly in handling, the va- 

 riety is suitable only for nearby markets. Fruit 

 medium, sometimes large; uniform in size and 



shape; skin thin, tender, smooth, clear pale 

 waxen yellow, with deeper yellow on exposed 

 cheek, sometimes slightly blushed; flesh white, 

 crisp, tender, juicy, at first briskly subacid, but 

 becoming mild. Late July and August. 



LOVETT 



(See illustration above, fully demonstrating the 

 remarkable bearing qualities of this variety.) 



After having thoroughly tested this remark- 

 able variety for a period of ten years, we con- 

 sider it to be as strong a grower as we have 

 ever seen. 



Finer in quality and texture than any other 

 summer fruiting variety; 



The mo Sit beautiful apple we have ever 

 seen; 



It ripens with us the early part of August 

 and is fully up to Mcintosh in quality (we like 

 it better) ; it is also an exceedingly strong 

 grower. The fruit, above the average in size, is 

 produced in greatest abundance. 



We believe Lovett is destined to become as 

 popular a summer apple as are Baldwin and 

 Delicious among winter varieties. Each, $2.CX); 

 dozen, $20.00.
