GOOSEBERRIES- 



The Quality Pie Berry 



Do you know that America is importing 

 tons and tons of Gooseberries from Europe, 

 and in preserving jars at that? Now, we can 

 grow just as good a berry product in our own 

 dens and no particular skill is required to do it. 

 Of course, the soil should be well enriched and the 

 plants should be given ordinary garden culture; but 

 in these requirements they do not differ from beans, 

 or tomatoes, or any other vegetable. 



The plants and varieties offered are the best to be 

 had in the country. 



OREGON CHAMPION 



Entirely distinct from all others in foliage and 

 habit of growth. It is of slender willowy growth — 

 not a very strong grower. The berries when fully 

 ripe are pale amber, of excellent quality and of good 

 size. (See illustration alongside.) 1 year, each, 

 50c; dozen, $5.00. 2 years, each, 75c; dozen, 

 $7.50. 



CARRIE — It is a marvel of productiveness, a 

 splendid strong grower and one that holds its foli- 

 age much later in the season than do most others. 

 When ripe, it is maroon in color and of good quality, 

 though rather small. 1 year, each, 30c; dozen, 

 $3.00. 2 years, each, 40c; dozen, $4.00; heavy 

 fruiting size, each, 75c ; dozen, $7.50. 



DOWNING — The most popular market va- 

 riety. The pale green berries are of large size and 

 fair quality. 1 year, each, 40c; dozen, $4.00. 

 2 years, each, 50c. ; dozen, $5.00. 



You Can Safely "Bet" on Lovett's

 ly half a century we have specialized in the 

 fruit division of the. nursery line, and all the 

 distinctly worth-while varieties are grown 

 by us.

 BERRY ! 



LOGANBERRY 



The great merits of this unique fruit are now well 

 known. The berries are of great size, equalling large 

 blackberries, and are deep reddish maroon in color. 

 In flavor, they are rich and refreshing — a mingling 

 of the raspberry and blackberry (the raspberry pre- 

 dominating) and yet distinct from either; mellow 

 and refined, melting and without core. The flavor 

 is so luscious, novel and rich, the berry cannot fail to 

 please every bod}' as a dessert fruit. For canning it 

 is superior to all the other small fruits, and for 

 jellies and jams it has no equal. What gives special 

 value to this novel fruit is its earliness — ripening as 

 it does at the close of the strawberry season, and in 

 advance of all but the verv earliest raspberries. 



Selected tip plants, dozen, $3.00; 100, $20.00; 

 1,000, $175.00. Heavy transplanted plants, 

 dozen, $5.00; 100, $35.00. Extra heavy, fruiting 

 age plants, each, 75c ; dozen, $7.50. 



LOGANBERRIES JUST AS THEY GROW 



STRAWBERRY-RASPBERRY 



A truly "everbearing" fruit, producing great quantities 

 of most attractive sparkling crimson berries from early in 

 July until frost. This fruit, often of great size, contrasting 

 with the large pure white blossoms and deep green foliage, 

 makes a dazzling' sight. The fresh fruit lacks flavor, but 

 cooked with Columbian or other Raspberries, it is delicious. 

 Dozen, $1.50. Extra heavy, transplanted plants, 

 dozen, $2.50. 



WINEBERRY 



Decidedly unique and valuable as an ornamental plant 

 as well as for its beautiful fruit. It is a strong, rampant 

 grower, the canes being thickly covered with purplish-red 

 hairs. The berries are of bright, translucent appearance, 

 of medium size, the color of sherry wine, sparkling and with 

 a brisk, pleasant subacid flavor. Canes yield enormously 

 for a long season. Excellent as a dessert fruit, but especially 

 valuable for canning and for making a delicious wine. 

 Heavy plants, dozen, $2.50; 100, $15.00.
