16 J. T. LOVETT, INC., LITTLE SILVER, N. J.— RASPBERRIES 



CARDINAL (Cap). — A giant variety in cane 

 and berry. The berries of dull purple-crimson are 

 of high quality and are excellent for making jelly 



and jam. Canes both hardy and prolific. Suc- 

 ceeds everywhere, even at the South were most 

 varieities of red raspberries fail. Its dull red color 

 gives even freshly picked fruit the appearance of 

 stale berries and for this reason it usually does not 

 sell well in market. Ripens in midseason until late. 



As Columbian and Haymaker are so very like 

 Cardinal and no better, I omit them from my 

 catalog. Tips, dozen, 50c.; 100, $2.;00 1,000, 

 $12.00. Transplanted, dozen, 75c.; 100, $3.00. 



CUTHBERT. — An old and well known variety, 

 introduced by me in 1878. For twenty-five years, 

 it was the most largely planted of all red raspberries 



and is still very popular. Berries of large size, deep 

 crimson, moderately firm and of high quality; 

 being rich and sprightly. Canes of strong growth 

 with large healthy foliage but not entirely hardy 

 of late years at the north, in winters of unusual 

 severity. Ripens in mid-season until late and 

 succeeds everywhere; even at the south. Dozen, 

 40c.; 100, $1.50; 1,000, $10.00. Transplanted, 

 dozen, 60c.; 100, $2.50. 



EMPIRE. — A new variety from the Hudson 

 River Valley — the home of the famous Hudson 

 River Antwerp — and of much promise. The berries 

 are of colossal size and bright light crimson in color 

 and exceptionally firm. Canes of giant proportions, 

 very prolific and are said to be entirely hardy. 

 Suckers, doz., $1.50; 100, $10.00. Transplanted, 

 doz., $2.60; 100, $15.00. 



JUMBO. — As this remarkable raspberry has 

 proved to be of tender cane and unreliable unless the 

 eanes are covered in wintex*, I discarded it. 



GOLDEN QUEEN.— Though not red, I class 

 this with the red varieties, as it is of the same habit 

 and requires the same culture. A sport of the 



Cuthbert and similar to it in all respects except 

 color, which is a clear translucent amber. Of 

 luscious quality and a valuable variety for the home 

 garden. Introduced by the Monmouth Nursery 

 in 1885, and much the best variety producing 

 yellow fruit. Dozen, 50c.; 100, $2.00; 1,000, $15.00. 

 Transplanted, dozen, 75c.; 100, $3.00. 



KING. — Until the introduction of the St. Regis, 

 this was the most popular variety that unites 

 earliness, bright color, firmness and excellent quality 

 of its berries with vigorous growth, productiveness 

 and hardiness of cane. Its crimson berries are 

 exceedingly bright and lively in color and so firm 



as to endure long shipment without change, and its 

 canes are very hardy in winter and heat-resisting in 

 summer. The berries drop quickly when ripe; 

 a property disliked by some growers, and regarded 

 as desirable by others. 



Dozen, 40c.; 100, $1.50; 1,000, $10.00. 



Transplanted, dozen, 60c.; 100, $2.50. 



New York City, Sept. 4, 1916. 

 Eleven years ago I bought a thousand Peach Trees from you 

 which I planted at Newton Square, Pa. They have done 

 remarkably well. I have picked as high as 27 baskets to a tree 

 in a season from these trees and the fruit was so fine, I sold 

 forty peaches to a party for forty dollars. They exceed a 

 pound in weight per peach. The trees are still in bearing. 

 Several years ago, I bought a lot of Peach trees from another 

 nursery, and although given good care, they have never 



f»roduced fruit to amount to anything-^so the fiqe rtsulti 

 rom you cannot be due wholly to the soil and culture.
