THE LOVETT COMPANY, LITTLE SILVER, N, /. 



Phillip's Seedling-. Somewhat of the style of Shai-]> 

 less. the berries being large, irregular in fornix showy, 

 firm. aLd of good quality. The plant is large and vig- 

 orous, more productive than Shai-pless under ordinary 

 cultivation, and the bei-ries are finner. It has given us 

 some very fine f I'uit and we regard it as one of the best 

 of the large-fi-uited sorts. Doz.. 2.5c: 100. 50c: 1000. 

 12.50. 



Princeton Chief (P.) A taH luxm-iant grower, with 

 large, dark foliage, free from rust or disease and com- 

 pares favorably in productiveness with the best of the 

 standard sorts. The berries are medium to large, 

 borne on long stems, of a dark glossy crimson, firm and 

 of good qiiality. It is a good shipping berry and is 

 deservedly populai' at the TVest. Late. Doz.. "250 : 100. 

 .50c: 1000.' .$3.00. 



Reg"ina iP.i Valuable by reason of its lateness and 

 product! vtness. The plant is strong and a good gi'ow- 

 er. succeeding on most soils and locations, and very 

 productive of berries that are medium to large, finru 

 of brieht color and good flavor. Pi'ofitable for market 

 and fine for home use. Doz., 2oc; 100. 50c; 1000, 6-3.00. 

 ^ Shuckless uVf. T'erno7i). "^e ai'eimable to detect any 



difference between 

 this and the old Mt. 

 Vernon or K i r k - 

 wood. The remark- 

 able looseness of the 

 calyx of that variety 

 has served apparent- 

 &'>ir W^-^'^^ > to give to it a new 



y.~A^,€^if^\^^*' name. It is a good 



i vai'iety. nevertheless. 



and produces a good- 

 ly supply of ben-ies^. 

 that are large, bright 

 crimson, and of ex- 

 cellent quality. The 

 plant is hardy and 

 vigorous, and no one will go far wrong in flanting it. 

 Late to very late. Doz.. 25c; 100, 50c; 1000, 82.50. 



Sharpless. Popular for its large, handsomf fruit. It 

 is a superb vai'iety upon rich, strong soiL although dis- 

 appointing in yield in ordinary cultivation. The plant 

 is large and vigorous, free from rust or blight. The 

 berries are large to very large, somewhat irregular in 

 shape, bright crimson color, of good quality, but rather 

 soft and does not keep in goo-i condition so long as 

 many others. It is a profitable variety for a near mar- 

 kt and with good culture will furnish an abtmdance 

 of fine fruit. Xidseason. Doz..^5c; 100, .50c: 1000. $o.>iQ^ 



Shuster's Gem (P.) 



Desirable for local 

 market or home use, 

 not being firm enough 

 for distant shipment. 

 The plant is strong 

 and vigorous with 

 clean fohage: berries- 

 large, globular, reg- 

 ular and imif orm, of 

 bright scarlet color 

 and good quality. It 

 is a productive vari- 

 etv and with many 

 growei^ is very prof- 

 itable. Early to mid- 

 season. Doz., 2oc; 100, 50c: 1000, S2.50. 



Smith's Seedling. This is a leader. It is one of the 



most profitable and valuable of all market berries and 

 very desirable for the family garden by reason of its 

 fine quahty and productiveness. It gives splendid re- 

 turns and the fruit is so uniformly large and fine that 

 we wonder why it is not more largely grown at 

 the East. The plant is vigorous and hardy, with 

 bright clean fohage. and is a heavy yielder. Fruit 

 very large., of a beautiful dark ci-imson color and firm. 

 It is especially valuable for cold climates and is very 

 popular at its home in Wisconsin. Those who do not 

 know this fine berry should certainly plant it. Mid- 

 season to late. Doz.. 2.5c: 100. .50c: 1000, .S~2..50. 



Tennessee Prolific. A most valuable variety at the 

 Xorth as well as at 

 the South. It ri- 

 pens among the 

 earhest and the 

 berries are uni- 

 f onnly large bright 

 crimson, firm and 

 very good in qual- 

 ity. The plant is 

 excessively produc- 

 tive, a thrifty 

 grower, with foh- 

 age that ably with- 

 stands the sim. The 

 past season, in a 

 plantation of over 

 ten acres, includ- 

 ing all the leading 

 sorts, it was our 

 most profitable va- 

 riety. Doz.. 2.5c: 100. 50 



Timbrell ^P). The three properties which especially 

 commend Timbrell are lo.rc;e size, high quality and 

 lateness in ripening. For producing large, fancy ber- 

 ries it has few equals, but it requires careful clean 

 cultoi'e and sti-ong rich soil. A thrifty, strong grower, 

 with rank, dark foliage: f rait very large, nearly round, 

 sohd. dark ci-imsom high flavored, fii-m and bears ship- 

 ment well. Its flne quahty makes it desirable for the 

 table of the amateiu-. Doz., 35c: 100. 81.00: 1000, 85.00. 



YanDeman. Popular with many growers, but here it 

 does not give exti'aordinary results — requiring rich soil 

 and careful cultm*e. Like the "Wilson, which it some- 

 what resembles in habit and foliage, the berries, 

 though large at first, rapidly dwmdle in size after the 

 fii*st picking. The berries are regular in form, glossy 

 crimson, firm, and of a sprightly acid flavor. Early. 

 Doz., 25c: KX), 50c; 1000. 83.00. 



Warfield [Xo. 2). P. A profitable market sort even 

 under ordinary field culture, on account of its produc- 

 tiveness and firmness. It is a much better variety than 

 the Crescent, and the plant is vigorous and healthy. 

 BeiTies medium, bright crimson, firm and of good qual- 

 ity. Upon soil that suits it, a rich loam, one of the 

 most profitable of all strawberries. Early to midsea- 

 son. Doz.. 2.5c; 100, 50c; 1000, 82.50. 



White >'ovelty. A very desii-able white strawberry of 

 the Alpine or Everbearing species. A vigorous grow- 

 er, yielding a good crop in June, and on moist soil 

 smaller quantities until the groimd freezes. Berries 

 larger than the old White Alpine, pure white and of 

 exceUent quahty. Doz.. 25c; 100, 81.00: 1000, eS.OO. 



Wilson. Too well known for description : once the 

 leading market sort and still popular in some sectiona 

 To obtain the best results it should be grown upon rich, 

 heavA- soil. Earlv. Doz., 25c; 100. 50c: 1000. $2,.50.
