J. T. LOVETT, INC., LITTLE SILVER, N. J.— STRAWBERRIES 9 



CHESAPEAKE. — Upon soil and under con- 

 ditions that suit it, this is indeed a wonderful 

 variety. It will not succeed upon thin sandy soil, 



but requires loam or clay-loam; and demands high 

 culture. The berries are very large and beautiful, 

 with smooth, even surface and prominent seeds. 

 The color is bright lively crimson, and the pre- 

 vailing form is heart-shaped with pointed tip. 

 Flesh firm, quality very good. Plants vigorous and 

 healthy with large foliage but multiply sparingly. 

 Mid-season until quite late. If one has the right 

 kind of land and will give it high culture, it is 

 exceedingly profitable. A number of growers in 

 the vicinity of Little Silver have made small 

 fortunes from it during the past few years. The 

 berries, which were largely sold in Red Bank, 

 have been so fine, it has been given the name of 

 "Pride of Red Bank" in the markets there. Dozen, 

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



I EARLY OZARK.— Until the appearance of 



' Early Jersey Giant, this was my best early variety. 

 It is a splendid growing plant with healthy leaf 



and a profuse yielder. Succeeds everywhere, 

 even at the south where many excellent varieties 

 fail._ It is among the very first to ripen and the 

 berries are of fairly good size, are bright crimson in 

 color, slightly conical, quite firm and of high quality. 

 Plants multiply so freely they usually become 

 crowded, unless kept in check by cultivation. 

 Dozen, 2oc.; 100, 60c.; 1.000, $3.50. 



EDMUND WILSON (Van Fleet No. 13) 



A strikingly unique Strawberry and strictly an 

 amateur — not a commercial variety. The plants 



resemble potato vines in size and vigor; the berries 

 are as large as small apples or oranges. Form 

 globular or bluntly heart shaped, of deep maroon 

 color with smooth surface and quite firm. Upon 

 good soil the plants attain a height of twelve to 

 fifteen inches with a spread of fully a foot and are 

 enormously prolific. Ripens in midseason. 



Mr. B. B. Cozine, editor of the Shelby News, 

 Shelby ville, Ky., wrote: "About the middle of 

 February, 191o, I purchased from you 100 each of 

 Early Jersey Giant and Late Jersey Giant and 50 

 Edmund Wilson Strawberry plants. Paying no 

 attention to advice, I left about half the blossoms on 

 these plants, and for the past ten days, I have been 

 picking the finest berries a person ever enjoyed. 

 \Yhile the Jersey Giants showed up nicely, they do 

 not compare with the Wilson. They are now in 

 full bearing, and for size and flavor they beat any- 

 thing ever seen in this section. Despite the fact 

 that I permitted the plants to bear only three 

 months after planting they are strong, vigorous and 

 healthy — the Wilson being especially so. They are 

 doing this too, in spite of the fact that our season in 

 this section from last February to the first of May 

 was dry, cold and unfavorable for growth." 



Mr. John W^ Bain, Red Hook, N. Y., wrote on 

 July 16, 1915: _ "The Early Jersey Giant is all that 

 is claimed for it ... . The Edmund Wilson 

 is all you say in size and vigor of plant, and the size 

 of the fruit. Plenty of the leaves measure a foot 

 across. 



"The Edmund Wilson Strawberry is all that you 

 claim it to be." — Alvin Tresselt (N. J.). 



"The Edmund Wilson Strawberry does fine here. 

 It produces lots of fine large berries of finest quality." 

 — J. F. Layson (Canada). 



Dozen, 35c.; 100, $1.25; 1,000, $8.00. 



^ MARSHALL. —An old variety highly esteemed 

 by many, especially in the New England States and 

 New York. It is a large, beautiful berry of rich 

 flavor and meaty texture, but one that is not 

 productive, except upon fertile soil and under high 

 culture. Plant of vigorous growth with clean, 

 healthy foliage. Ripens in midseason; dozen, 

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