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



Van Fleet Hybrid Strawberries Continued 



EDMUND WILSON 



The Qiant Strawberry 



On general principles we carefully avoid exaggeration. 

 The temptation to paint glowing pictures is great and it 

 requires considerable restraint at times to strictly adhen 

 to the truth. All this merely 

 by way of preparing you for 

 an extraordinary statement. 

 The fruits of Edmund Wil- 

 son, borne on the exceptional- 

 ly sturdy plants, are so im- 

 mense that we have known 

 them to compete in size with 

 small apples, and this without 

 either extra culture or dis- 

 budding. 



With all its great size, the 

 fruit is of excellent quality. 

 Its dark color prevents it 

 from being a good market variety, but ior tl 

 home garden, where high quality is the first 

 consideration, we know of no better mid- 

 season sort than Edmund Wilson. 



Layer plants, dozen, $1.00. 



Pot-grown plants, dozen, $2.00. 



JOHN H. COOK 



" Variety for Everybody 1 s Qarden " 



Among second early varieties there is no heavier 

 cropper. In growth, constitution and other worth- 

 while qualities it might well be considered the finest 

 of the three Van Fleet hybrids. Equally valuable 

 for home use or market, its somewhat irregular 

 shape is easily offset by the delicious flavor which 

 very much resembles that of wild strawberries. 



Layer plants, dozen, $1.00; 100. $2.50. 



Pot-grown plants, dozen, $2.00; 100, $12.50.

MASTODON EVERBEARING — THE OUTSTANDING 

 STRAWBERRY NOVELTY OF THE SEASON 



♦ | /-\r£ We will send a dozen each (36 in all) of the three wonderful Van 



OpCClcll UllCF I Fleet Hybrids, Early Jersey Giant, John H. Cook, and Edmund Wil 

 * son (all pot-grown), for $4.00; or twenty-five of each for $7.50 



EVERBEARING STRAWBERRIES That Are Dependable 



We offer herewith four varieties that deserve to be grown most widely and it is again with keen regret 

 that we cannot include our novelty, Lovett's All Season, this spring. The demand last fall, at $4.00 per 

 dozen, exceeded our fondest expectations. Let us suggest that you give " Mastodon " a fair and impartial trial. 



MASTODON 



Called by. some western specialist "The Wonder- 

 berry." we find this to be truly the largest, most 

 delicious and heaviest yielding of all Everbearing 

 sorts. It outyields some of the finest June bearing 

 sorts during their season and continues to bear, 

 throughout summer and fall, berries of amazing 

 size and surpassing quality. 



CHAMPION EVERBEARING 



Apparently a seedling of Superb, and like it in 

 many respects, though it is much more productive 

 and the fruit is larger. Though enduring one of the 

 most trying seasons last year, Champion Everbear- 

 ing again came through with flying colors. 



PROGRESSIVE — Of vigorous habit, with large, 

 clean leaves; they multiply better than many of the 

 I all-bearing varieties and yield profusely. The 



berries, which are smooth and uniform in size, are 

 deep crimson, glossy, and of good quality. 



SUPERB — Among the best known and most 

 largely planted. The berries are nearly round, 

 smooth, dark crimson, glossy, and of sweet flavor. 

 It yields heavily in June and is one of the most pro- 

 lific again in the fall.
