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

GRAPES 

 The Quality 

 Fruit 

 for All! 



"Little drops of water, 

 Little grains of sand." 



You know the balance of 

 that famous nursery rhyme 

 citing the origin of the earth 

 and its oceans. The same factors bring 

 forth another choice and welcome gift of 

 nature — those small, many-hued, juicy 

 globules that hold greater possibilities 

 for adding to mankind's culinary joys 

 than any other fruit on earth. 



Grapevines are not particular as to 

 soils and climates. They seem to do better in 

 poor, stony soil than in richer earth. Any soil 

 that permits the roots to ramble freely enables 

 the vines to carry and store the distilled fertility 

 that makes grapes the richest fruit on earth. 



CULTURE — Grapevines should be set 5 to 8 

 feet apart, in rows at least 8 feet apart. The 

 richer the soil, the greater should be the distances al- 

 lowed between the plants. The first year after setting 

 out, the vines should be pruned severely, during late 

 February. Two strong canes, with four to five 

 buds each will give better results than greater num- 

 bers. Severe pruning results in strong new growth 

 and it is that which bears the flowers and sets the 

 fruits. By setting out early, midseason, and late va- 

 rieties, a long season supply of matchless fruit may 

 be obtained. Additional culture directions on re- 

 quest. 



LOVETT'S CACO 



Awarded a Medal by The American Institute of 

 New York — the Highest Honor ever conferred upon 

 a new grape. 



Caco can be depended on to do well in all soils and 

 sections. It is a strong, vigorous grower, healthy 

 and prolific. The clusters are easily the most beau- 

 tiful among hardy grapes. In general appearance it 

 compares well with the expensive hothouse grapes. 

 The clusters are of fair size, while the individual 

 berries are firm, full of delicious flesh and juice, of 

 attractive red and amber color overlaid with a 

 beautiful bloom. But the chief characteristic, by 

 far, of Lovett's Caco, the characteristic that counts 

 most in the final analysis, is its exceptionally rich 

 sugary flavor. In melting texture and superb qual- 

 ity no other grape grown outdoors or under glass, at 

 home or abroad, can surpass Caco. 



Prices of Caco grapevines: 1 year, each, 75c; 

 dozen, $7.50; 100, $50.00. 2 year old, each, $1.00; 

 dozen, $10.00; 100, $75.00. Heavy fruiting age 

 vines, each, $2.00; dozen, $20.00. 



No Need to Wait for Results 



Waiting, to "U.S. Americans," is the greatest 

 hardship imaginable. We want to get there — see 

 the finish — count results ! 



Gardening has been described as the sport of pa- 

 tient waiting, with the element of gambling added 

 for spice. But many seasoned gardeners are devoid 

 of patience, while gambling with the factor of time 

 seems a crime. For gardeners who want to "get 

 there" surely and quickly, in the game of growing 

 choice Grapes (not vines — but the resulting fruits) 

 we provide the means to the end in "bearing age" 

 vines described below and on page 7. 



Lovett's "Fruiting Age" Grapevines 

 of Caco and Other Varieties 



On the next page we offer our personal choice of 

 choice sorts bearing choicer fruits than can ever be 

 secured in the market. We'll stand back of every 

 sort we suggest and every plant we supply. The 

 plants are extra stocky and sturdy, extra heavy vines 

 that have been treated with special pruning, spe- 

 cial culture and special care. Many of them have 

 borne a limited number of grapes the past season in 

 our nursery. They should do better for you under 

 the more favorable conditions your home grounds 

 are able to provide. See also page 7.
