J. T. Lovett Co. — Strawberries. 



'''All things considered, we must regard the Shuster as a remarkable herry — good as Buhach in 

 all respects and better in some as, e. g. color, shape, productiveness, long hearing period and retention 

 of size durijig the entire season,"— Rxtral Xett Yorker. 



A cross between Crescent and Sharpless it inherits to a great degree the characteristics of its parents 

 as will be seen and recognized from our description of it. The plant is unusually strong and vigorous, with 

 bright, healthy foliage and a pistillate bl"^ssom. The fruit is large to very large, o: l-1>: bular shape, exceed- 

 ingly regular and uniform in both size and shape, maintaining a good size to the e::d of the season, beauti- 

 ful bright scarlet in color and of excellent quality. It is only moderati ly firm, how-ver, and hence is not 

 especially adapted for distant shipment but for a near-by market or for the home garden it Is unex- 

 celled. It ripens from early to midseason, continuing in bearing until late. It does not need pelting of 

 any sort and seems to adapt itself to almost any soil an I treatment. It will grow w^ 11 just where it is plant- 

 ed, if any variety will. Its great points of merit may be summed up and noted briefly thus: a strong, ro- 

 bust plant, healthy, vigorous and prolific; fruit of large size, uniform shape and great beauty; quality 

 excellent. It has the size and vigor of the Sharpless and the productiveness of the Crescent. 



Shuster's G m has fruited with us since 1SS6 and we have carefully noted its behavior under ordinary 

 field culture ever since. In view of Its splendid be'^avlor here and elsewhere, we purchased from the origi- 

 nator the entire stock and control of it and offered it for the first time in 1S90. The past season under 

 somewhat adverse circumstances it has held its own as a beautiful, prolific berry of large size. We do not 

 know of a variety of strawberry that has a brighter flame-colored scarlet color. For the home garden It 

 should become a general favorite. (See Colored Plate.)
