 INo. 464. Electro, 40c; postase, 15c. 



Still another year further confirms the fact that in this 

 we have what has been badly needed for a long time, 

 namely: A thoroughly reliable Blackberry of large size 

 with a cane of iron-clad hardiness. Lovett's Best unites 

 not only these two invaluable properties in an eminent de- 

 gree but possesses in addition the merits of ripening early 

 great productiveness, entire freedom from disease and 

 double or rose blossom, strong, vigorous growth of cane, 

 extra high quality, jet black permanent color^ and fine 

 appearance. 



Either for profitable market growing or for the home 

 garden, it is without an equal. It has now been fruited in 

 almost every State in the Union and its hardiness and 

 other valuable properties proved by practical field tests.

PLYMOUTH ROCK CHERRY. 



All growers of light colored or so-called 

 amber cherries are well aware of the two 

 greatest difficulties encountered, viz: the 

 birds taking the fruit and the tendency to . 

 quick decay when ripe, whether upon the 

 tree or gathered — especially in hot, muggy 

 weather. 



Our attention was called to the Plymouth 

 Rock Cherry five years ago, by an amateur 

 fruit grower of wide experience and unusual 

 discernment residing in north-eastern Con- 

 necticut, who informed us that the fruit, 

 though showy and of excellent quality would 

 remain upon the tree when ripe, or after 

 gathered, in perfect condition longer tJiaii any 

 other variety he had ever seen, although an am- 

 ber variety; and for some unknown reason 

 its fruit was never molested by birds. Know- 

 ing such a cherry to be of great value, we 

 visited the gentleman, and found the original 

 tree and others grown from it, heavily laden 

 with large, bright amber, largely overspread with carmine, cherries in perfect condition 

 although the fruit had been ripe for ten days; during ivhich time it had reined almost every 

 day and the weather excessively hot. Upon testing the fruit freely we found it of not only 

 excellent but high quality — sweet, rich, sprightly, juicy and tender — and with small stone. 

 As to the birds: although the trees of all other varieties in the grounds where the trees 

 of Plymouth Rock stood, had been stripped of fruit, we could detect no evidence of a 

 single cherry of the Plymouth Rock having been taken by a bird. The birds avoided 

 the trees of it, for some reason as yet unexplained, llie tree of this variety is a good 

 healthy grower, begins bearing young and is a heavy annual bearer. 



As a desirable fruit for the home grounds we are confident it is without an equal; but
