LOVETT'S NURSERY, LITTLE SILVER, N. J \— BLACKBERRIES 



BLACKBERRIES That Delight 



While on the preceding page we have pointed out 

 the commercial advantages of Blackberry planta- 

 tions, we are now going to have an "inning" for the 

 home gardeners. There are indeed few greater de- 

 lights than to be able to go into one's garden and 

 pick big, shiny beauties by the panful, to be con- 

 verted into delicious jams, jellies and pies, or served 

 just as they are, for breakfast or as dessert ! 



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. 



When requested, plants will be sent by mail, pro- 

 vided cash is sent for postage as per table. 



Please note: Our blackberry plants are either 

 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, which we do not grow ! 



BLOWERS — (See illustration bottom of page.) 

 On fertile soil, canes often grow to ten or twelve 

 feet. They yield very heavily and for a long season, 

 beginning in midseason. The fruit is large, attrac- 

 tive and of superb quality. Twenty degrees below 

 zero has not harmed it and it is a phenomenal 

 cropper. Dozen, SI. 00; 100, $6.00; 1,000, $50.00. 

 Transplanted, dozen, $1.50; 100, $7.50. 



Ashley B. Bakhk, Saratoga Co., N. Y., wrote as

 bought of you last Fall for my own home garden got 

 a fine start and have every promise of doing splen- 

 didly this season. 



JOY BLACKBERRY — A unique combina- 

 tion of absolutely proven hardiness backed by 

 an ironclad constitution. A prolific bearer of 

 super-quality berries. (See page 13.) 



Eleven years have passed since we first introduced 

 Joy and we assure you that it has been a great joy 

 to us to be identified with such a masterpiece among 

 berries as Joy has proved. Frankly, no other 

 variety, either among Blackberries or Raspberries, 

 bears the tremendous crops of delicious fruit that 

 we have gathered from Joy. 



Back of all this is a sturdy constitution. Stocky, 

 vigorous canes bear abundant, heavy foliage and 

 the canes aTe literally loaded with fruit, yielding 

 heavily year after year. 



The individual berries are very large and almost 

 as thick through as they are long. They are lovely 

 jet black and of a rich, luscious flavor. Joy deserves 

 to be called the best all-around Blackberry for both 

 home and market garden. The characteristic that 

 makes it most valuable for market gardening is its 

 endurance of zero climates and its apparent im-' 

 m unity to "Orange Rust," "Double Blossom" and 

 other Blackberry diseases. Market gardeners will 

 find it a reliable crop under all conditions of soil: 

 and climate. Selected root-cutting plants, 

 dozen, $1.50; 100, $7.50; 1.000, $60.00. Trans- 

 planted plants, dozen, $2.00; 100, $10.00. 



EARLY HARVEST-— An old variety and a 

 favorite, especially with western and southwestern 

 growers. The mild, sweet berries are rather small 

 but firm and symmetrical. Ripens very early; some- 

 times suffers from winter injurv in the North. 

 Dozen, $1.00; 100, $4.50; 1,000, $40.00. Trans- 

 planted plants, dozen, $1.50; 100, $7.50.
