THE LOVETT COMPANY, LITTLE SILVER, N. J. 



BISEL (P)- 



A very promising new variety, much resembling its 



parent, the Wil- 

 son, in earliness, 

 fii-mness and pro- 

 ductiveness, com- 

 bined with large 

 size and excellent 

 quality. Tho 

 plant is all that 

 can be desired in 

 growth, hardiness 

 and foliage, being 

 large, robust and 

 productive. The 

 fruit maintains 

 its large size to 

 the last picking, 

 borne on stout 

 trusses, is very 

 uniform in shape 



and size and of bright glossy crimson. Well worthy of 

 trial. Early. Doz., 35c; 100, $1.25; 1000, $8.00. 



" SHERMAN. 



Hardy and enduring, withstanding drought to an 

 eminent degree, this is worthy of extensive trial. It is 

 very productive of beautiful, roundish berries, bright 

 crimson, firm and good. Midseason. Doz., 50c; 100, $2.00. 



SNOWBALL. 



This very interesting new variety hails from Wis- 

 consin and has claimed for it great productiveness and 

 firmness of fruit. In general appearance and form it 

 closely resembles Warfield, being not of the largest 

 size but of regular, conical shape, glossy light crimson, 

 with a short neck; exceedingly firm, of good quality, 

 rich, sprightly subacid. The plant is a strong grower, 

 like Gandy. Ripens about midseason. We regard 

 Snowball as a variety of much promise and shall watch 

 it closely. It was offered last fall for the first, and up- 

 to-date growers will obtain a stock of it. Doz., $1.00; 

 100, $5.00. 



SPLENDID. 



Very satisfactory in the amount of berries produced 

 but unless grov, n on rich soil they will be small. Given 

 good soil and clean culture it is a variety very desira- 

 ble either for home use or market. The plant is strong 

 and healthy, with globular berries of bright crimson 

 color and attractive appearance, moderately firm and 

 of very good quality. Early. Doz., 35c; 100, $1.00; 

 lOCO, $10.00. 



^ GARDNER. 



From Iowa comes this very promising new Straw- 

 berry, where it wa.9 

 found, an accidental 

 seedling. Its many 

 good points stand 

 ont so prominently 

 that there is little 

 doubt but that it wiU 

 soon occupy a fore- 

 most place in the list 

 of profitable sorts; 

 the plant grows weLL^ 

 is strong, robust and 

 healthy. In produc- 

 tiveness it is excelled 

 by few varieties and 

 it sets fully as much 

 fruit as does Parker 

 Earle. The berries 

 are large, crimson, very firm, and of excellent quality. 

 In firmness and ability to hold up well in shipping it is 

 one of the best, and market growers will find it unsur- 

 passed for shipping to distant markets. Its productive- 

 ness and general adaptability to all soils leads us to re- 

 gard it as a profitable variety also, and the same good 

 qualities render it desirable for home use. Quite like 

 the Manchester in productiveness and form but of bet- 

 ter color, firmer and has a perfect blossom. Early. 

 Doz., 35c; 100, $1.00; 1000, 15.00. 



STAPLES. 



A seedling of Warfield from Ohio, and promises to 

 become a valuable sort for both home use and market. 

 It is remarkable for vigor and strength of plant, and 

 enormously prolific. The berries are of medixun size, 

 dark glossy crimson, moderately firm and of fine qual- 

 ity. An improvement upon the parent Warfield. 

 Early. Doz., 50c; 100, 82.00. 



SUNNYSIDE (P). 



Among other new varieties this takes its place claim- 

 ing especial merit on account of lateness and produc- 

 tiveness. The berries are not of the largest size, being 

 only medium to large, of bright scarlet color, firm, and 

 good in quality. The plant shows well, being a good 

 grower with clean foliage, and excessively prohfic. It 

 is deserving of careful and extensive trial by reason of 

 its imusual promise. Doz., 50c; 100, $2.00. 



TUBBS. 



A firm, solid berry from Maryland where it has been 

 grown for market for the past fom* or five years and 

 yielded very large profits. Berries large, deep crim- 

 son, firm, of fine quality; and exceptionally firm. 

 Plant is large, vigorous, very proUfic, and endures 

 drought remarkably — a most valuable property. Ripens 

 early and continues for a long season. A most valuable 

 market variety by reason of its size and firmness. Doz,. 

 35c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $5.00. 



I WESTON ^P). 



Seems to be one of those enduring and persistent va- 

 rieties that thrives everywhere and under the most 

 careless culture. The plant is not of extra size nor ex- 

 cessively vigorous, but it is thrifty and free from rust 

 or blight, and wonderfully prolific, almost as much so 

 as Crescent. The berries are large, conical, rather 

 broadly flattened, bright scarlet, firm and of excellent 

 quality. When this is better known we predict that it 

 will be planted very largely. Midseason to late. Doz., 

 50c; 100, $3.00; 1000, $10.00.
