THE LOVETT COMPANY, LITTLE SILVER, N. J. 

 ALL SUMMER. 



15 



Among the raspberries claimed to be 

 everbearing this isomdoubtedlythebest. 

 It is a strong and vigorous grower with 

 stout, erect canes, and large foliage, 

 dark green above and silvery- white be- 

 neath. Berries large, crimson, luscious 

 and good, produced abundantly in July 

 and again later in the season. It is a 

 very hardy variety, enduring extreme 

 heat exceptionally well, hence well 

 adapted for the South. A grower in 

 Idaho says of it: "It has fruited for 

 five years and borne a full crop each 

 year, no matter how hot the weather. 

 100 to 105 degrees in the shade is not un- 

 common here. It gives a full crop 

 where other varieties do not stand thej 

 excessive heat, and I think you will find I 

 it particularly valuable for your Southern trade, where other sorts do not stand."

CONRATH. 



In this we have united earliness, vigor, 

 hardiness, large size, and productiveness; 

 qualities that will give it a foremost rank. 

 It resembles Gregg in many ways, being 

 probably a seedling of that variety, and the 

 fruit retains its large size to the last picking. 

 The canes are of ironclad hardiness, very 

 prolific and make a good healthy growth. 

 It is one of the best of the very early black 

 cap sorts, equaling Souhegan in all points, 

 with the Gregg type of berry being large and 

 firm, sweet and good; free from the woolly 

 appearance of that berry. The fruit always 

 leaves the stem easily and may be gathered 

 without crushing or breaking. Wherever it 

 has been grown it has given great satisfaction 

 and we can recommend it as exceedingly 

 valuable. Ea., 10c; 3 for 25c; doz., 75c: 100, 

 $3.00; 1000, $20.00. 



\ GAULT PERPETUAL. 



This is a decided novelty among blackcaps; 

 a truly perpetual bearer. The young canes 

 begin fruiting before the first crop is gone 

 and bear successively until frost. The ber- 

 ries are large and firm, of a beautiful clear 

 black, with fine rich flavor. The disposition 

 of nearly all the young canes of this new 

 variety to bear fruit the first season should certainly make it very desirable for the home garden. Ea., 35c; 3 

 for $1.00; doz., $3.00; 100, $20.00. 



^ LOUDON. 



Having safely passed through the severest winters 

 without protection in Wisconsin, its place of origin, 

 this may justly be conceded the merit of great hardi- 

 ness. Whether its foliage will successfully withstand 

 hot suns south of New York it will require further trial 

 to determine; but in the meantime the fact remains 

 that the variety is very promising indeed and well 

 worthy of planting, in limited numbers at least. The 

 berries ai-e extremely large, roundish-conical, large 

 drupes, deep crimson, moderately firm, rich and lus- 

 cious. Canes are of strong growth, with few if any 

 thorns, and prolific. We think it will need a rich, 

 moist soil, well mulched, to produce a paying crop for 

 market, but we have not yet fruited it sufficiently to 

 speak conclusively upon this point. Season late. Ea., 

 25c; 3 for 60c; doz., $2.00; 100, $15.90.
