LOVETT'S BEST BLACKBERRY. 



.a 



Still another year further confirms the 

 fact that in this we have what has been 

 badly needed for a long time, namely: 

 thoroughly reliable Blackberry of large size 

 with a cane of iron-clad hardiness. Lovett's Best 

 unites not only these two invaluable properties 

 in an eminent degree but possesses in addition 

 the merits of ripening early, great productive- 

 ness, entire freedom from disease, and double or 

 rose blossom, strong, vigorous growth of cane, 

 extra high quality, jet black permanent color, and fine appear- 

 ance. (See colored plate last page of cover}. 



Either for profitable market grooving or for the home gar- 

 den, it is without an equal. It has now been fruited in almost 

 every State in the Union and its hardiness and other valuable 

 properties conclusively proved by practical field tests.

" The Blackberry which you now call Lovett's Best is now in its prime oj yield for the season. The plants are 

 remarkable/or hardiness and vigor and are free from rust. The berry is large, mostly globular. The drupes 

 composing the berries are large, quite firm, though juicy. The flavor should be described as rather sweet than 

 sour. This will prove a more desirable market berry than many of the older standard sorts tor either home or 

 market purposes. The crop is heavy but not yet completed. Very truly, Geo. C. Butz.

 " The Jewett Blackberry did splendidly this year. By the way, I have not seen the Jewett in pour catalogue. 

 It is certainly the best I have. Yours, Ezra. Wood.

 him for testing under the name of Jewett.]
