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

FRUIT TREES 



We specialize in fruit trees, as well as Berry 

 Plants, and wish to assure you that the same care 

 and application, that has caused the name, " Lovett " 

 to become a byword for quality in berry plants of 

 all kinds, is employed to make our fruit trees su- 

 perior. Because of their size, it is impossible to ship 

 any of our fruit trees by parcel post. In dozen lots 

 we ship by express. Where larger quantities are 

 required we pack so carefully that shipment by 

 freight is perfectly safe. 



APPLES 



Apples, God's gift clad in shiny coats of yellow, red 

 and green, with plenty of lovable freckles at times, 

 holding goodness within all the time. "An Apple 

 a day keeps the Doctor away," and a home-grown 

 apple is worth two bought at some fancy fruit 

 store. Here is the reason why: Western Apples are 

 "Fruits de Luxe," judged by and grown for — 

 "Looks." They do look fine, but few have the 

 " honest-to-goodness " flavor of those grown right 

 at home. 



Plant 30 feet apart each way, thus, requiring 48 

 trees to properly plant one acre. 



We will be glad to quote by letter extra fine 1- 

 year-old apple trees to those wishing same for com- 

 mercial orchards. * 



All apple trees offered in this catalog are two 

 years old or older, and first class in* every re- 

 spect; we have never grown better. 



Price of all varieties of Apple trees (except 

 Lovett), each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00; 100, $60.00. 



BALDWIN — Early winter. Dark red, of good 

 quality. 



BANANA (Winter Banana) — Late fall. Beau- 

 tiful waxen yellow with blush cheek, large, very 

 beautiful, highest quality. 



BEN DAVIS — Winter. Of inferior quality, 

 good keeper; early and heavy annual bearer. 



DELICIOUS — The apple sensation of the last 

 quarter century. Now well established in all sec- 

 tions and highly recommended as a prolific bearer 

 of uniformly highest quality fruit. The apples 

 vary slightly in shape and coloring in different sec- 

 tions and on different soils, but are always of good 

 size. Early winter. 



DUCHESS (Oldenburg) — Early autumn. Ex- 

 tremely hardy. Medium to large; yellow, streaked 

 with red; very productive. 



EARLY HARVEST — The earliest summer ap- 

 ple; excellent for either dessert or cooking. It 

 should hold a welcome place in every home orchard 

 but, as the apples bruise badly in handling, the va- 

 riety-is^ suitable only for nearby markets. Fruit 

 medium, sometimes large; uniform 

 in size and shape; skin thin, tender, 

 smooth, clear pale waxen yellow, 

 with deeper yellow on exposed cheek, 

 sometimes slightly blushed; flesh 

 white, crisp, tender, juicy, at first 

 briskly subacid, but becoming mild. 

 Late July and August. 



ENGLISH CODDLING — Fruit 

 large to very large; form round and 

 flat; color greenish yellow, with dull 

 red cheek where exposed to sun; good 

 quality, rather acid. One of best 

 cooking and market apples of its sea- 

 son. Ripens from mid-August to Sep- 

 tember. For profit, should be mar- 

 keted when two-thirds ripe and while 

 demand for large green apples can be 

 filled by this variety only. 



GRAVENSTEIN — Large; yellow, 

 nearly covered with dull red. Sep- 

 tember and October. 



GRIME'S GOLDEN — Of just 

 medium size, but very delicious; ma- 

 tures in early winter. Because of its 

 extraordinary quahty, this apple does 

 not keep well — it's eaten as fast as it 

 can be gotten hold of ! 



JONATHAN — Late winter. 

 Round, of medium size, fine grained 

 and of acid flavor. 



DELICIOUS ONE OF THE FINEST FOR ALL PUR- 

 POSES, IN ALL SECTIONS
