16 LOVETT'S NURSERY, LITTLE SILVER, 'N. J. — STRAWBERRIES 



The Choicest STRAWBERRIES and How 

 to Enjoy Them I 



There is room for a strawberry bed in even the 

 smallest garden, or there should be ! Considering the 

 ease with which these most delicious of all berries are 

 grown, in most any soil and (with the help of the 

 "Everbearers") throughout the season, the gardener 

 who is not growing them, is depriving himself of a 

 genuine succession of delights. 



All varieties of Strawberries give the 

 greatest yield and the largest berries 

 when grown in rich soil; hence, no pains 

 should be spared in preparing the bed care- 

 fully before planting, by digging or plow- 

 ing deeply and turning under a liberal sup- 

 ply of well-rotted manure. Pulverize the 

 surface soil thoroughly with harrow or 

 rake and, if a top dressing of ground bone is applied, it will be found a great benefit at fruiting time. 



For hill culture in the family garden, plant in rows two feet apart and the plants a foot apart in the 

 rows, cutting off all runners as they appear. If to be allowed to grow in matted rows, set the plants in rows 

 three feet apart and the plants one foot apart in the rows. 



For field culture, to be cultivated with horse and hoe harrow, plant in rows three and a half feet apart 

 and the plants one foot apart in the rows, requiring 12,445 plants per acre. 



All the varieties offered have perfect flowers, hence do not need the association of any other variety 

 in order to be fruitful. 



Save Time, Qain Crops, by Starting Your Patch With 

 POT-GROWN Strawberry Plants 



By setting out Lovett's Pot-Grown Plants you practically eliminate the chance of losing plants, no 

 matter how late they are set out or how dry the season. Thus, pot-grown plants stand for crop assurance, 

 though the gardener should not key his ex- 

 pectations too high the first year. 



Pot -grown plants of the type we supply, 

 as illustrated alongside, save practically a 

 year's time. Lovett's Pot -grown Strawberry 

 Plants are vigorous young specimens grown in 

 pots, and shipped with earth about the well- 

 developed roots. Such plants will take hold at 

 once, make a thrifty growth and, in the case of 

 Everbearing or Fall-bearing varieties, bear a 

 liberal crop of nice berries the first season, 

 which cannot always be expected from ordi- 

 nary field-grown plants. 



Our stock of pot -grown strawberry plants 

 we again offer the kind of a plant product that has made the name 

 "Lovett" a by-word for quality in Home Garden Fruits. 



We Are Well Prepared to fill your orders. Here, at Little Silver, 

 we grow each year approximately half a million pot-grown plants 

 and rare, indeed, are the instances in which these plants do not mea- 

 sure up to the highest expectations and produce complete satisfaction. 



With plants of this kind we recognize no limitations as to the 

 distances we can ship. Satisfied Lovett customers can be found from 

 our most rtorthern States to the Gulf, and from the Atlantic to the 

 Pacific. Besides having skilled plantsmen to grow the plants, we 

 have men who know how to pack them for any long journey. If you

service to the test. tgf the type of
