FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY, 1 878 - 1928 



Lovett's Peaches for Best Crops 



The delectability of the Peach, both for 

 table service and preserving, needs but few 

 words of comment. It is looked forward 

 to every year, during the growing season, 

 with great anticipation and is hailed with 

 joy and pleasure when ripened and 

 ready for eating. 



Through transplantation by migra- 

 tory nations, throughout past 

 centuries, it has been branched 

 into hundreds of varieties, one 

 or more of which meet prac- 

 tically every climatic or soil 

 condition. 



In keeping with the general 

 practices of our nurseries, here 

 among the Peaches you will 

 find offered none but those 

 which are the best. Through 

 management and specialization 

 we offer this splendid stock at 

 unusually low prices. 



Plant 18 feet apart each way. 



We offer the finest stock of 

 peach trees that we have had in 

 many years. Such grade, or 

 type, of trees as ours is not 

 generally offered at the prices 

 quoted. However, our supply 

 is such as to make it possible 

 to sell these "best ever" grades 

 at truly reasonable prices. 



Orchardists are invited to 

 ask for special quotations on 

 large quantities and on lighter 

 grade of trees, of which we 

 have a large supply. 



Price, except as noted, extra selected trees, 

 each, 50c; dozen, ^5.00; 100, ^30.00. Medium 

 grade trees, each, 35c; dozen, ^3.50; 100, ^20.00.

Four New Varieties of Exceptional Merit 



Cumberland — A semi-freestone, white-fleshed 

 Peach, maturing the first of all high quality 

 sorts. A superior variety in quality, appearance 

 and resistance to rot. 



Eclipse — A yellow-fleshed, second early freestone 

 of high quality. Should prove most profitable as 

 a commercial variety because of its season of 

 ripening and its firm, yellow, high quality flesh. 



Primrose — A seedling of Belle of Georgia crossed 

 with Elberta, originated at our New Jersey Agri- 

 cultural Experimental Station. Produces yellow- 

 fleshed, freestone fruit of splendid quality, ripens 

 with Belle of Georgia, recommended as a splen- 

 did yellow fleshed variety to precede Elberta. 



Radiance — A seedling of Belle of Georgia 

 crossed with Greensboro; ripens a few days after 

 Cumberland. It resembles Belle of Georgia in 

 shape, size and general appearance. 



Prices, any of above four splendid varieties: 

 each, 75c; dozen, ^7.50; 100, ^40.00. Medium 

 grade trees, each, 50c; dozen, ^5.00; 100, ^30.00. 

 Smaller trees at lower prices to orchardists buy- 

 ing quantities. 



Rochester — An 

 Early Peach of 

 Unusual Quality 



Belle of Georgia — Mid-season. White, largely 

 overspread with red; firm; sweet; freestone. 

 Carmen — The earliest standard variety of merit. 

 White flesh; semi-clingstone. 



Crawford's Early — Large, yellow with red cheek; 

 flesh yellow, juicy, sweet. Middle of August. 

 Elberta — Mid-season. Fruit large. Yellow, deep 

 red cheek. Best known and most largely grown. 

 Hiley — Second early. Creamy white, deep red 

 cheek. Flesh white, very juicy, of fine quality. 

 Iron Mountain — A very late, extra high quality, 

 white-fleshed, freestone variety. One of the 

 highest in quality of all Peaches. 

 J. H. Hale — In season of ripening it bridges the 

 gap between Rochester and Elberta. Very large, 

 round shape, deep golden-yellow skin, overlaid 

 with carmine; flesh golden, of high quality. 

 Rochester — A valuable, extra early, yellow Peach 

 that begins to bear quite young. Tree is vigor- 

 ous. The fruit grows to immense size, beau- 

 tiful orange-yellow, blushed and mottled with 

 dark red spots. The yellow flesh is very juicy 

 and highly flavored. Freestone.
