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



The EVERBEARING 

 Strawberries 



and Their 

 Advantages 



The Everbearing vari- 

 eties of Strawberries, fre- 

 quently termed "Fall-bear- 

 ing," have decided merit. 

 Fortunately, practically all 

 of them are excellent in 

 quality and give a heavy 

 crop of fruit in June as well 

 as a good crop in late sum- 

 mer and autumn. 

 In order to be assured of a heavy fall crop, it is 

 best to remove, as the}' appear, all blossoms until 

 the first or middle of July. Aside from removing 

 the blossoms by hand picking, the culture of 

 these autumn-bearing varieties is the same as of 

 other Strawberries, as set forth on page 16. 



Upon moist, fertile land, our plants of these 

 Fall-bearing Strawberries give sweet, ripe berries 

 the same season they are planted. This holds 

 particularly true of the pot-grown plants. We 

 advise "hill culture" (done by clipping off all the runners soon after they appear, thus restricting the 

 growth to the parent plants) for best results with these varieties. 



With a view of simplifying selection for our customers and governed by studies of our trials, we have 

 come to the conclusion that our list of Everbearing sorts was entirely too long. We offer herewith three 

 that deserve to be grown most widely and it is with keen regret that we cannot include our novelty, Lovett's 

 All Season, this spring. The demand has been terrific — at $5.00 per dozen! Plants on hand are needed 

 for propagating purposes. 



. SUPERB — The best known and most largely 

 planted of the fall-bearing varieties. The berries 

 are nearly round and are larger than those of the 

 Progressive. They are smooth, dark crimson, 

 glossy, and of sweet, mild flavor. The plants grow 

 well, with clean, dark-green leaves. It yields so 

 heavily and the berries are so fine it is a profitable 

 variety to grow for its June crop alone, and is one 

 of the most prolific and best croppers in autumn. 



CHAMPION EVERBEARING 



Apparently a seedling of Superb, and like it in 

 many respects, though it is much more productive 

 and the fruit is larger. With us, this past season it 

 "behaved" much better than "Lucky Boy," which 

 we have dropped because of better varieties becom- 

 ing available. Though enduring one of the most 

 trying seasons last year (long periods of drought 

 making life a trial for all Strawberries), Champion 

 Everbearing came through with flying colors. 



PROGRESSIVE — The finest of the Rockhill 

 varieties. The plants are of vigorous habit, with 

 large, clean leaves; they multiply better than many 

 of the fall-bearing varieties and yield profusely. 

 The berries are so smooth and uniform in size and 

 shape they have the appearance of having been 

 made in a mould; are deep crimson, glossy and of 

 good quality.
