J. T. Lovett Co. — Strawberries. 



Kentuclty.— Popular as a late variety on ac- 

 count of 1 ts good quality and pro- 

 ductiveness, but too soft for long 

 shipments. The plant is a good 

 grower, very productive, and, like 

 the Downing, it succeeds on all 

 soils and under almost all condi- 

 tions. Other and better late sorts 

 are now, however, taking its place, 

 and it is in much less demand now 

 than some years ago. Doz., 25c; 

 100, 50c. 1000, $2.50. 

 inicliel's Karly (Osceola).— A very early vari- 

 ety of the Crescent type with a 

 vigorous and healthy growing 

 plant, but at Monmouth lacking 

 quality. At the South, we are 

 informed, it bears abundantly, 

 and, like Hoffman, is best adapt- 

 ed for southern growing. It 

 comes from Arkansas, where it 

 highly valued. Doz., 25c; 100, 50c; 1000, $2.50. 

 Lady Rusk (P). — A productive variety of 

 good sized berries, firm and 

 of good quality. The plant 

 seems to suffer greatly in dry 

 weather, and it will do much 

 better in a heavy cool soil. On 

 account of its firmness and 

 other good qualities it has 

 proved profitable in many local- 

 ities. Fruit large and of good 

 quality. Early. Doz., 35c; 100, 

 $1.00; 1000, $3.00. 



Tiola or Monarcb of the West.— Though 

 introduced as a new variety this is undoubtedly our 

 old favorite berry. Plant large and thrifty. Berries 

 large, pale red and white tip, delicious flavor. Only 

 moderately firm, but for home use one of the best. 

 Mldseason. Doz., 25c; 100, 50c; 1000, $3.00. 



Parry.— This is similar to Jersey Queen of which 

 it is a seedling, but it is better 

 altogether, and, moreover, pos- 

 sesses a perfect flower. The 

 plant is vigorous and produc- 

 tive but it requires heavy, rich! 

 soil and good culture. . Fruit Is; 

 uniformly large and beautiful, 

 moderately flrm and of good 

 quality. Brings a high price 

 In market by reason of its flne appearance. Doz., 25c; 

 100, 50c; 1000, $2.50. 



Sharpl ess.— Demands rich, strong soil, without 

 which it is likely to prove dis- 

 appointing in yield. The 

 plant is exceedingly large and 

 vigorous and quite free from 

 rust or blight. Berries large 

 to very large, somewhat ir- 

 regular in shape, crimson, 

 moderately flrm and of good 

 quality. It is a profitable va- 

 riety for a near Jiarket on ac- 

 count of its large size, and with good culture will 

 furnish an abundance of flne fruit, Midseason. 

 Doz., 25c; 100, 50c; 1000. $2.50. 



Warfleld (No. 2) P.— ^ rival to the Crescent 

 in yield and exceeding it in size, ^ | 

 beauty and flrmness. In quality it ' 

 is good, pleasant, sub-acid. A ^^f'^f 

 vigorous grower with bright healthy . 

 foliage. It is a valuable market i^ 

 sort and will give good satisfaction. ^ 

 Eaily to midseason. Doz., 25c; ^ ■ , 

 100,50c; 1000, $2.25. 



Wilson.— The popular old market sort. Still re- 

 tained for its many good qualities. To obtain best 

 results it should be grown upon rich, heavy soil, and 

 the beds renewed often, when it is large and produc- 

 tive. Early. Doz., 25c; 100, 50c; 1000, $2.50. 



ADDITIONAL VARIETIES. 



Bidwell. -One of the best early on heavy soil.

 quality, moderately flrm. Requires good culture. 

 Doz., 25c; 100, r5c; 1000, $4.00.

 age burns somewhat, Doz., 25c; 100, 75c; 1000, $4.00.

 for the home garden. Large, conical, flrm; vigorous 

 and productive. Doz., 25c; 100, 75c; 1000, $3.50. 



Stay man's No. 1 (P).— A western berry 

 much praised, but upon our soil it lacks productive- 

 ness and size of berry. Doz., 25c; 100,, 75c; 1000, $4.00. 



Walton (P).— This is not a success with us, 

 though said to have done very well elsewhere. We 

 cannot recommend it. Doz., 25c; 100, 75c; 1000, $4.00. 



White Novelty.— Of the Alpine or everbearing 

 species, being oi strong growth and fruit larger than 

 the old White Alpine. Doz., 35c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $5.00.
