/. T. LOVETT CO — BLACKBERRIES. 



ERIE.— The most popular of the standard 



killing north of the latitude of New York City, and 

 of recent years has become badly affected with the 

 " orange rust " or blackberry fungus. The berries 

 are large, handsome, and of delicious flavor; canes 

 of strong, er^ct growth and productive. It is not 

 sufficiently hardy for planting very far north but 

 it successfully withstands our ordinary winters 

 light protection further north will save it. 

 Season medium to late. Doz., 30c; 100, $1.50; 1000, 

 10.00. 



An old favorite 



blackberries and now In large demand for market 

 growing. Its many good properties and general 

 success in field culture have made it deservedly a 

 favorite. No other variety unites in the same de- 

 gree hardiness, earline3s, large size, handsome ap- 

 pearance, high quality and productiveness. In 

 shape it is almost round, which gives it the appear- 

 ance of being larger than it really is, and very uni- 

 form both in size and shape. The Erie somewhat 

 resembles Lawton in habit of growth and shape of 

 berry. In season of ripenii g it is much earlier 

 than Lawton, the canes are more vigorous in 

 growth and very much hardier. Doz., 50c; 100, 

 $2.50; 1000, $^0.00. 



Lawton (New RochelleJ 

 very justiy esteemed 

 for its productive- 

 ness and large size. 

 Like Kittatinny, it 

 is of strong, erect 

 growth, but freer 

 from rust. The ber- 

 ries are large, and 

 delicious when fully 

 ripe, but they turn 

 black before ripening 

 and are then hard 

 and sour. It suc- 

 ceeds over a wide 

 range of country and 

 is one of the best of 

 the standard sorts. 

 Season medium to 

 late. Doz., 35c; 100, 

 , $1.50; 1000, $9.00. 



^ SNYDER.— Valuable for the North by reason 



Kittatinny.— Once the mcst popular of all 



blackberries for general planting. Still very fine 

 for main crop in the home garden, or for market 

 in some locations, but it is not safe from winter- 



of its extreme hardiness. TVonderfully productive, 

 and though the berries are but small to medium 

 in siz j , they are of sweet, juicy flavor, and when 

 fully ripe, without the hard core of many other 

 sorts. Until the appearance of the Erie, this was 

 the standard early sort for the North and North- 

 west, and is still very popular, being more largely 

 planted than any other of the iron- clad varieties. 

 Doz. 35c; 100, $1.50; 1000, $9.00.
