THE LOVETT COMPANY. 



Lli^TlE SILVER, N. J. 

 " COLUMBIAN. 



Golden Queen. Introduced by us and the best yellow 



raspberry. " In all but color it is identical with Cuth- 

 oert, possessing canes of robust growth, hardiness and 

 productiveness, with beautiful berries of large size, 

 high quahty and bright golden-yellow. It is a most de- 

 sirable variety for the home garden, and no collection 

 should be without it. Midseason. Doz., 50c; 100, S1.25; , 

 1000, 810.00. 



Greffff, (Cap). A popular market sort. Canes of 

 strong vigorous growth and under good culture pro- 

 ductive. Berries very large, covered with heavy 

 loom, firm, meaty, and of fine flavor. It requires 

 good strong soil to produce best results and responds 

 liberally to generous treatment. It is not entirely hardy, 

 suffering in hard winters. Fine for evaporating pur- 

 poses. Ripens in midseason. Doz., 40c; 100, $1.00: 

 1000, §7.00. 



Canners will rejoice, at the advent of this remark- 

 ably vigorous new raspberry, and it will prove also a 

 welcome acquisition for the home garden. To describe 

 it briefly we may say that it is of the same type as 

 Shaffer's Colossal, that is, it propagates from the tips, 

 does not sucker and the fruit is similar in color, io is, 

 however, an improvement upon the Shaffer, being even 

 more vigorous in gro^vth, quite as productive, while 

 the fruit is sweeter, of higher flavor and very much 

 firmer; in canning it does not break but retains its form 

 better and shrinks less than any other variety. The 

 berries are also very large, conical, dark purpUsh-red, 

 rich and luscious. It is of giant habit, attaining a 

 height of twelve feet or more, of ironclad hardiness 

 and marvelously prolific. Its foliage is also entirely 

 exempt from simbm-n or scald. It will doubtless prove 

 especially valuable for the South. Midseason to late. 

 {See cut). Ea. 30c; 3 for 75c; doz., S2.50; 100, $15.00. 



EUREKA. 



Claimed to be an improvement upon Souhegan and 

 the old early sorts. To earliness has been added large 

 size and immense yield. The berries are, when at their 

 best, almost as large as Gregg, firm, jet black, and of 

 much better quahty. The canes are vigorous, hardy 

 and bear enormously. Prof. TV. J. Green of the Ohio 

 Experiment Station is said to have stated on various 

 occasions, that one acre of Em^eka will produce as 

 many bushels of berries as one acre of Pahner and one 

 acre of Gregg combined. It ripens with Souhegan and 

 its earliness and large size have caused it to sell in 

 market at exceedingly profitable prices. Ea., 10c; 3 

 for 25c; doz., 75c; 100, 83.00; 1000, 820.00. 



GENERAL LIST. 



" Cuthbert. {Queen of 

 the Market). Intro- 

 duced by us and still 

 the most popular red 

 variety. No other red 

 raspberry has yet 

 taken the place of it. 

 Of general adaptabil- 

 ity north, south, east 

 and west. The canes 

 are hardy and of strong 

 growth with large, 

 healthy foliage; ex- 

 ceedingly productive. 

 Berries large, crimson, 

 firm and good. The best red raspberry ripening late. 

 Doz., 40c; 100, 81.00; 1000, 88.00. 



Hansen, Introduced by us and profitable on account 

 of its earUness, bright color and firmness. Canes rather 

 small, but hardy and productive, with tough, healthy 

 foliage. Berries large, crimson, good quahty and firm. 

 Doz., 40c; 100, 81.00; 1000, 88.00. 



Royal Church. Valuable chiefly for its lateness in 

 ripening — after Cuthbert — thus extending the rasp- 

 berry season. Upon good, rich soil in cool, half-shady 

 locations, it will prove satisfactory both in cane and 

 fruit but it will not endure hot snns and should not be 

 grcmi very far southward. The berries are large, 

 handsome, bright red, firm and of fine flavor, borne in 

 heavy clusters or sprays. The canes are good growers 

 with clean and healthy f oUage, hardy and productive. 

 A good sort for the home garden. Late. Doz;, 75c; 100, 

 $3.00; 1000, 820.00.
