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



The Choicest Among RASPBERRIES 



The Quality Fruit for Connoisseurs 



When we think of Raspberries we see visions of 

 dishes heaped high with delicious berries — enough 

 to "make the mouth water," the mouth of even the 

 most indifferent. Raspberries combine all the de- 

 sirable qualities of a high-class fruit in the most in- 

 tensive degree, and a few varieties should be grown 

 in every garden. The varieties offered represent the 

 peers of the race and, by following the culture sug- 

 gestions offered below, every home may enjoy 

 an abundance of delicious berries. 



Culture — Plant the red or upright growing 

 varieties in rows six feet apart and the plants three 

 feet apart in the rows, requiring 2,420 plants per 

 acre; or four feet apart each way, if to be grown in 

 hills. (In the garden, plant four feet apart each way 

 and restrict to hills, permitting but three or four 

 canes to remain in each hill.) In field culture, the 

 cap varieties should be planted in rows seven feet 

 apart and the plants three and a half feet apart in 

 the rows; in garden culture, plant four feet apart 

 each way. No order acceptable for less than 6 

 plants of a variety. 



Sucker plants should be trimmed back to within 

 three inches of the ground at 

 time of planting. 



Plants will be shipped by 

 mail, provided cash is sent for 

 postage as per table

St. Regis Everbearing or Ranere 



It is with considerable pride that we call ourselves 

 the original introducers of this superb variety. It 

 is fifteen years now since we first presented St. Regis 

 to the American gardening public, and our belief in 

 the absolute merits of this variety has since been 

 justified in thousands of home gardens and com- 

 mercial plantations throughout the country. An 

 abundance of growers of St. Regis now agree with 

 us that it is absolutely the greatest "find" in ever- 

 bearing Raspberries during the last quarter of a 

 century. 



What makes St. Regis particularly valuable is 

 that it is adaptable to a great variety of soils, does 

 well throughout a large part of the country and 

 gives more uniformly good results year in and year 

 out than any other variety we know among the red 

 kinds. 



The individual berries, while not so large as some, 

 are of exceptional quality. The plant is a prolific 

 producer, not only very early in the season but also 

 during the fall, continuing to bear right up to freez- 

 ing weather. Unlike most other varieties, it yields 

 a moderate crop the first season if planted early in 

 the spring or the preceding fall. 



In addition to all above excellent characteristics 

 St. Regis is exceptionally hardy and very drought 

 resistant. For this reason it is a great favorite in 

 those sections of the Middle West and West where 

 periodic dry spells put fruit varieties to a.severe test. 

 Due to exceptionally thrifty constitution, St. 



Regis produces suckers exces- 

 MdttBten..^ sively. For best results ii 



should be kept down to a 

 single row of plants or not to 

 exceed three or four plants to 

 a hill. Wielding the hoe to 

 keep down the suckers will in- 

 crease both the quantity and 

 size of the individual berries. 

 Selected sucker plants, 

 dozen, $1.00; 100, $3.50; 

 1,000, $30.00. Transplanted 

 plants, dozen, $1.50; 100, 

 $6.00; 1,000, $50.00. Heavy
