22 J. T. LOVETT, INC., LITTLE SILVER, N. J.— BLACKBERRIES 



HIMALAYA GIANT.— A giant indeed in 

 growth. Although of delightfully sweet, brisk 

 and somewhat spicy flavor, at Monmouth the berries 

 are small and the yield has been unsatisfactory. 

 I have, however, received so many letters from 

 patrons commending it so highly that I deem it 

 proper to revise my description of it. 



The canes are tremendous growers and with 

 some, at least, are enormously prolific. Berries, 

 jet black and very firm. Ripens late. Tips, 

 dozen, 40c.; 100, $2.00. Transplanted, doz., 50c.; 

 100, $2.50. 



LA GRANGE. — This is unique in its habit of 

 growth, sending out fruit stems from the ground up, 

 each stem having abundant foUage. Unlike other 

 varieties, which as a rule, produce the fruit at the 

 ends of the canes and stems, hence is frequently 

 scalded by exposure to the sun, the fruit of La 

 Grange ripens in the shade, and is, therefore, of 

 superior quality. When the first crop of berries are 



, MACATAWA.— Claimed to be a hybrid of the 

 Himalaya Berry and the Eldorado Blackberry. 



Berries large, sweet. 



coreless, and almost seed- 

 less. Canes of great hardi- 

 hood, tremendous yielders 

 and to be truly ever- 

 bearing, t. e., yielding 

 continuously from the 

 middle of July until freez- 

 ing weather. It has not 

 as yet fruited at Mon- 

 mouth and I can only 

 hope its claims may be 

 verified by test. 



Root-cutting plants, 

 doz., 60c.; 100, $3.50; 

 1,000, $30.00. 



Transplanted, doz., 75c.

STAR or WONDER.— Although of recent origin 

 it may well be termed the Blackberry of many 

 names, such as Star, Wonder, Ewing's Wonder, 



about two thirds grown, a second crop of blossoms 

 appears, thus giving a long season of fruit. It 

 begins to ripen early in July and continues for four 

 or five weeks, yielding heavily. In addition to the 

 extreme hardihood of its canes, it is a very valuable 

 variety by reason of its large yield, early ripening, 

 long season of fruiting, and particularly the fine 

 size and superb quality, of its fruit. 



Root-cutting plants, dozen, 50c.; 100, $2.00; 

 1,000, $12.00. Transplanted, doz., 60c.; 100, $2.50. 



THORNLESS (Wachusett Thornless) .— This 

 variety is practically without thorns or spines. 

 Canes are of good strong growth and ironclad 

 hardihood. Berries, long, jet black, firm and of 

 sweet mild flavor but are not very large nor freely 

 produced, except under high culture. Highly 

 esteemed as an amateur variety by many; par- 

 ticularly at the north. Transplanted, doz., 75c.; 



100, $s.oo. 



HALF NATURAL SIZE 



Vineland, Black Diamond, Bowerberry, Atlantic 

 Dewberry, etc. It is indeed a wonder. Imagine 

 picking great clusters of Blackberries from canes 

 that resemble grape vines. This is what you can 

 do if you plant the Star Blackberry. The yield is so 

 great that over eighty quarts of berries have been 

 picked from a single plant of it in one season. 



Train to stakes or trellis or over an arbor as 

 grapes are grown — and give plenty of room. 



Berries of medium size, attractive appearance and 

 of rich, sprightly luscious quality; keep in good con- 

 dition for a long time and can be safely shipped 

 almost any distance. 



It has made a brilliant record at the New Jersey 

 State Experimental Station, as it has wherever 

 planted. It does not ripen until late.
