J. T. Lovett Co. — Raspberries. 



LOVETT or $1000.00 RASPBERRY. 



''The canes are of vigoroiis growth, the tallest being over six feet. The berries are borne in short 

 racemes somewhat lihethose of Gregg, are nearly as large, blacli, glossy with some bloom around the 

 base of the drupelets. They are as firm as it is desirable a blackcap should be; and never drop from the 

 receptacle. There was no marked difference in earliness between the Palmer, Progress and Lovett. 

 Judged from the first season of fruiting, it is an improvement, all things considered, over any variety 

 ive have tried.''"'- Rural New Yorker, in "Notes from the Rural Grounds." 



The Lovett Raspberry, whicb could with propriety have been named Lovett's Thornless (being practi- 

 cally destitute of thorns) has, the past season, fully sustained, in a fruiting field of six acres, all that has 

 been claimed for it; and taken all in all has proved itself to be by far the best black raspberry that has as 

 yet been put upon the market. Unlike the Gregg, which it nearly equals in the size of berries, it is of 

 ironclad hardness; and is the strongest in growth of cane of any, unless possibly the Ohio excepted. In 

 enormous yield it is without an equal. Add to these properties superior quality, jet black color, firmness 

 and long life after gathered, adhering to the bush when ripe, and above all, its earliness (ripening with 

 Souhegan and the other very early sorts) and we have in it, what has so long been wanted and a most 

 valuable fruit. So far from regretting our outlay of $1000.00 for the control of this berry, we now congrat- 

 ulate ourselves on our good fortune in securing it for that sum. It is entirely distinct from all other sorts. 

 We have now fruited the variety for three seasons and know positively that it possesses the merits 

 claimed for it.
