LOVETTS NURSERY, LITTLE SILVER, M. J. — RASPBERRIES 



Delicious RASPBERRIES 



the Connoisseur's Delight 



Likes and dislikes for different berries are quite pronounced with different people; but we believe, on 

 the basis of our sales records extending over a score of years, that the popularity of Raspberries is con- 

 stantly increasing. The reasons for this are ample. No other berry brings us all desirable quality character- 

 istics in as strong a degree as Raspberries. Flavor, 

 color, general appearance and palatability combine 

 to make this the quality fruit "par excellence." 

 And the everbearing varieties help much to prolong 

 the season during which this "delight to the palate" 

 may be enjoyed. 



Culture — Plant the red or upright growing 

 varieties in rows six feet apart and the plants three 

 feet apart in the rows, requiring 2,420 plants per 

 acre; or four feet apart each way, if to be grown in 

 hills. (In the garden, plant four feet apart each way 

 and restrict to hills, permitting but three or four 

 canes to remain in each hill.) In field culture, the 

 cap varieties should be planted in rows seven feet 

 apart and the plants three and a half feet apart in 

 the rows; in garden culture, plant four feet apart 

 each way. No order acceptable for less than 6 

 plants of a variety. 



Sucker plants should be trimmed back to within 

 three inches of the ground at time of planting. 



Plants will be shipped by mail, provided cash is 

 sent for postage as per table on page 64. 



ST. REGIS OR RANERE — A REAL QUALITY FRUIT 



St. Regis Everbearing or Ranere 



Sixteen years have passed since we sponsored the 

 introduction of St. Regis and time has sustained our 

 original judgment. Growers the country over now 

 join us in proclaiming it the greatest everbearing 

 sort introduced during the last twenty-five years. 

 No other variety we know (and we grow all that have 

 merit) approaches it in its broad usefulness. 



What makes St. Regis particularly valuable is 

 that it is adaptable to a great variety of soils, does 

 well throughout a large part of the country and 

 gives more uniformly good results, year in and year 

 out, than any other variety we know among the red 

 kinds. 



The individual berries, while not so large as some, 

 are of exceptional quality. The plant is a prolific 

 producer, not only very early in the season but also 

 during the fall, continuing to bear right up to freez- 

 ing weather. Unlike most other varieties, it yields 

 a moderate crop the first season if planted early in 

 the spring or the preceding fall. 



In addition to all above excellent characteristics, 

 St. Regis is exceptionally hardy and very drought 

 resistant. For this reason it is a great favorite in 

 those sections of the Middle West and West where 

 periodic dry spells put fruit 

 varieties to a severe test. 



Due to exceptionally thrif- 

 ty constitution, St. Regis 

 produces suckers excessively, 

 which should be kept down to 

 a single row of plants or not to 

 exceed three or four plants to 

 a hill. Selected sucker 

 plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, 

 $3.50; 1,000, $30.00. Trans- 

 planted plants, dozen, 

 $1.50; 100, $6.00; 1,000, 

 $50.00. Heavy fruiting 

 plants, dozen, $3.00; 100, 

 $15.00.
