J. T, Lovett Co. — Strawberries. 



FAKNSWORTH.— " 'The best strawberry of 

 all tested at the 

 Geneva Experi- 

 ment Station.' 

 " This remark, 

 made by Pro- 

 fessor F. S. 

 Hunn, Horticul- 

 turist of the 

 Geneva, N. Y., 

 Experiment Sta- 

 tion, at our 

 Western New 

 York Horticul- 

 tural Meeting 

 last year, at- 

 tracted my 

 attention. It was 

 the first I had 

 heard of this variety. I at once made inquiries 

 about it and corresponded with those who had grown 

 it. Last June I visited Geneva, N. Y., to see the 

 Farnsworth, and the hundreds of other new varieties 

 in bearing. The plant was all that could be desired. 

 The beds were covered with the most delicious straw- 

 berries it has ever been my pleasure to test. The 

 quality is beyond expression. No pen can express 

 the exquisitely rich, piquant quality, a flavor peculiar 

 to the Farnsworth, and never found in any other 

 variety. Farnsworth is not the largest berry in the 

 world. It is not recommended to endure long ship- 

 ment. But as a home berry, one to delight wife, 

 children and guests It stands unrivaled. It Is large 

 enough. Many would call it of large size. It is 

 exceedingly productive, and succeeds with ordinary 

 culture, such as any child can give. It has never 

 been petted and nursed as some kinds have been, 

 hence will thrive anywhere, even on poor thin soil, 

 but will do better under better conditions. If you 

 want the best quality of all strawbenies plant 

 Farnsworth. Remember that it is very early— ripen- 

 ing its crop when strawberries are scarce."— (Green's 

 CataloQue, 1891. Doz., 50c; 100, $2.00; 1000, $12.00. 

 ^ OREAT PACIFIC— A strong growing vari- 



STANDARD. — Originated in Massachusetts 



and introduced last spring. This has a good growing 

 plant with healthy foliage, and is said to produce 

 abundantly. The berries are large, bright crim- 

 son, firm and of fine quality; the flavor is brisk 

 and sprightly making it a valuable sort for the 

 family garden. Midseason to late. Doz., 50c; 100, 

 $2.00, 1000, $15.00. 



REDER WOOD (Bacster). — Mr. Matthew 



Crawford of Ohio, perhaps the best authority upon 

 the strawbeiTy in the world, says: "This is, in my 

 opinion, the best early variety ever introduced either 

 for home use or market. The plaut is faultless, and 

 enormously productive. No rust yet. Fruit large, of 

 fine form and color, moderately firm, and of good 

 quality. Fortunately it makes many runners, and 

 they will all be wanted as soon as its value is 

 kdown." 



Unfortunately this has been given two names, but 

 Beder Wood is undoubtedly the correct one since it 

 ety from Illinois, producing both fruit and plants originated with the gentleman of that name at 

 freely. Berries aie of only moderate size, but are Moline, 111., in 1881, anl who p^ave his full name to 

 firm, handsome, and of fair quality. It will require ! the variety. It is a variety worthy of great praise 

 another year's fruiting |to determine its character ! and promises to become an exceedingly valuable 

 fully. Doz., 25c; 100, 75c; 1000, $5.00. I early sort. Doz.. 50c; 100, $2.00.
