Small Fruit Plants m 



J. T. Lovett 



• LOVETT. — Introduced by me many years ago 

 and a very profitable second early variety in 

 many sections. The berries are not large but are 

 very bright in color and firm, and when fully ripe 

 or exceedingly high quality. Plant of moderate 

 gTowth, very healthy, a reliable and heavy yielder. 

 Certain gi'owers find it most profitable and pre- 

 fer it to all other varieties. Dozen, 35c.; 100, 

 60c.; 1,000, $4.00. 



1/ McKINLEY.— Until the appearance of the Van 

 Fleet Hybrids, this variety was unrivalled as a 

 Strawberry of high quality. Berries large, hand- 

 some and freely produced on strong growing, 

 healthy plants. Ripens in midseason and is too 

 tender in texture to endiu-e shipment. It is pre- 

 eminently a variety for the home garden. Dozen, 

 25c.; 100, 75c.; 1,000, $5.00. 



MORNING STAR.— With the exception of Early 

 Jersey Giant, the largest and finest Strawberry 

 before the public that ripens early. Berry very 

 large, broadly conical with blunt apex, bright 

 scarlet-crimson, exceptionally uniform in size and 

 shape. Plant a strong grower, very healthy and 

 a reliable yielder. It is exceptionally firm for an 

 early berry, and, best of all, of high flavor — rich 

 and sugary. Dozen, 25c.; 100, 60c.; 1,000, $4.00.

^ PINEAPPLE. — A delicious variety, having the 

 true sweet Strawberry flavor, mingled with that 

 of the Pineapple. It is a beautiful, firm berry. 



too; of large size and a great cropper — globular 

 smooth surface and rich crimson color. Its Pine- 

 apple character is so pronounced it is readily de- 

 tected in its odor as well as flavor. Valuable alike 

 for the home garden and market. Dozen, 25c.; 

 ,100, 60c.; 1,000, $4.00. 



RICHMOND (Jamestown).— Produced by Mark 

 T. Thompson Avho originated Lady Thompson, 

 Morning Star and so many other fine varieties. 

 It was awarded a gold medal at the Jamestown 

 Exposition and has become extremely popular 

 with the gi'owers about Norfolk, Va. It has the 

 foliage of the Haverland type but stronger. Ber- 

 ries large to very large, conical with large reflexed 

 calyx or "burr." Plant of strong growth yield- 

 ing very heavily with clean spotless foliage. 

 Ripens early to midseason. One grower writes, 

 "After growing Strawberries for thirty years, 

 during which time I have fruited over five hun- 

 dred varieties, Richmond or Jamestown is the 

 only one I would plant exclusively, which I shall 

 now do until I have a hundred acres of it." Dozen, 

 25c.; 100, 60c.; 1,000, $4.00. 



SAINT LOUIS.— A valuable extra early variety. 

 The berries are conical, of good size (for an 

 early sort), bright fiame color and of sweet lus- 

 cious quality. A vigorous clean grower and very 

 prolific. It is also exceptionally firm and the 

 fruit is borne on long stems, rendering picking 

 an easy task. It gave us ripe berries on May 

 22d, a week in advance of almost all other va- 

 rieties. Dozen, 25c.; 100, 60c.; 1,000, $3.50. 



SENATOR DUNLAP.— For quarts, this variety 

 has indeed few equals! And the berries are at- 

 tractive and very firm. It has become exceed- 

 ingly popular, p^irticularly throughout the west 

 and southwest. The plant is not of gi'eat size, 

 but vigorous, bright and clean and full of busi- 

 ness. Senator Dunlap belongs to the Warfield 

 type, but is a better berry than the Warfield in 

 every way; a better plant, a stronger grower and 

 the berries are larger and firmer. I am told there 

 are many spurious plants being sold for it. Ripens 

 in midseason. Dozen, 25c.; 100, 60c.; 1,000, $3.50. 



SILVER COIN.— A midseason variety that ex- 

 cels in uniting desirable properties. Its salient 

 points are exquisite color, luscious fiavor and great 

 productiveness. The berries are not only large 

 but very nearly all of them are large and they 

 are very uniform in shape. The color is a bril- 

 liant flame-red and the texture is very firm. The 

 plant is of strong, vigorous habit with large 

 foliage that never rusts, blights nor mildews; 

 fruit stalks large and strong, holding the great 

 crop of berries well from the ground. Dozen, 

 25c.; 100, 60c.; 1,000, $4.00. 



STEVENS' LATE CHAMPION.— This variety 

 has forged ahead until it stands near the top of 

 the list, as a profitable variety for market grow- 

 ing and for the home garden. A descendant of 



the popular Gandy, it also ripens late and resem- 

 bles it in other properties; yielding two quarts 

 to one of the Gandy. The berries are somewhat 

 irregular in shape, but average very large and 

 are of high quality. One of the most prolific and 

 profitable of late ripening varieties and one of the 

 best for the home garden. Dozen, 25c.; 100, 50c.; 

 1,000, $3.00.
