The Lovett Apple 



(See illustrations on this page) 



A FRIEND of ours who saw the branch 

 illustrated alongside while it was being 

 photographed, exclaimed: "My, this 

 would almost sell anybody on the idea of 

 planting and growing nothing but the Lovett 

 Apple!" But we would hardly carry our 

 recommendations that far. Being a summer 

 Apple, the Lovett is not to be compared with 

 the winter keepers. However, where space 

 permits the planting of several varieties, we 

 would say, by all means devote part of your 

 plantation to the Lovett for the following 

 reasons: 



After eleven years of critical tests under 

 widely varying conditions of soil , season 

 and climate y the Lovett Apple has 

 come through with flying colors as 

 the most -prolific summer apple 

 in cultivation. With the quality 

 of abundant bearing it combines 

 an exceedingly attractive ap- 

 pearance. Unbiased critics have 

 pronounced it one of the most 

 beautiful apples in cultivation. 



While the above two character- 

 istics would be sufficient to make it 

 popular, it possesses, in addition, a texture 

 of flesh and aromatic flavor that make it one 

 of the finest quality apples imaginable. 

 Superior in many respects, to old Mcintosh, 

 it ripens the early part of August, producing a 

 great abundance of exceedingly handsome 

 apples above the average in size. 



We have known and grown the majority of 

 standard varieties of apples over a period of 

 many years, and on the basis of thorough 

 trials, intensive studies and unbiased judg- 

 ment, we feel safe in saying that the Lovett 

 Apple will become as popular a summer^ 

 fruit as Baldwin and Delicious are, 

 among the winter varieties today. 

 Price each, $1.50; dozen, $15.00.
