J. T. Lovett Co. — Raspberries. 



Si«ITH>S PROLIFIC.— A new blackcap 



from western New York which has been highly 

 praised. The principal points of merit and super- 

 iority claimed for It are canes of strong growth; per- 

 fect hardiness and great productiveness. The canes 

 throw out numerous lateral branches which enable 

 them to bear large crops of fruit without danger of 

 breaking down. The berries are borne In large 

 clusters, and are about the size of Gregg, of a bright 

 black color, very Arm, of good flavor. It Is also said 



to be a profltable drying sort, three quarts of berries 

 making a pound of dried fruit. Its season is about 

 second early or between Souhegan and Ohio. 



We append a few testimonials of good authorities, 

 written after they had fruited it: "This variety 

 made a very vigorous growth last year, so mucn so 

 as to be easily dlstingu shed from all others. This 

 year's growth was very rank, the canes being cut 

 back in June, and at fruiiing time the laterals had 

 made a growth of 10 Inches. It is very productive 

 of extra large fruits of a bright black color, slightly 

 conical, borne in Immense clusters with only an ex- 

 ceptional blasted berry. It is certainly a valuable 

 market variety on account of its firmness and pro- 

 ductiveness."— Peter Collier, Director New York 

 Experimental Station. 



I consider this one of the best varieties of black 

 cap that I have ever seen. It is a very large. Arm 

 berry; grows in clusters like the Gregg, but more 

 prolific; good for drying. It ripens quite early; the 

 bush is a strong grower, and hardy. I have grown 

 black caps for the last ten years.— J. Irwin Johnson. 

 Dozen, $1.25; 100, $7 50. 

 Palmer,— An early blackcap difTering from 

 Souhegan so slightly as to be barely perceptible. 

 The fruit may possibly average a trifie larger but 

 no other points of difference can we distinguish. Its 

 I superiority over Souhegan in productiveness, vigor 

 I of growth, and quality of fruit, as has been claimed, 

 I is not apparent here. At the same time it is neces- 

 j sarily. from its resemblance to Souhegan, a fine early 

 j variety and may safely be planted in place of that 

 1 sort. Doz., 50c; 100, $2.00; 1000, $15.00. 



GENERAL LIST. 



{The illmtratiom are one-quarter natural size.) 

 If to be sent by mail add 10c. per doz., 40c., per 100; at 1000 rates by freight or express only. 



Brandy wine.— This once popular berry is now 

 superseded by Cuth- 

 ber and others. Its 

 bright crimson col- 

 or, good size and 

 firmness, render it 

 valuable for mar- 

 ket, but It lacks vig- 

 or of cane and is 

 only productive on 

 good soil. It is very 

 attractive, and is yet 

 grown to some ex- 

 tent for market. Doz., 35c; 100 $1.00; 1000, 

 $8.00. 



C UTHBERT(Qween of the Market). -ThQ lead- 

 ing late market variety and best 

 red raspberry in cultivation. No 

 other of its class has proved of 

 such general adaptability and it is 

 grown successfully in nearly all 

 1 parts of the United States and 

 ^Canada. The canes are hardy 

 and of strong, rampant growth 

 with large, healthy foliage, and 

 exceedingly productive. Berries large, dark crimson, 

 quite firm and of good flavor. This variety is more 

 largely grown than all the other red raspberries com- 

 bined. Season late. Doz., 35c; 100, $1.25; 1000, $10.00. 



GOLDEiN ClUEElV.— The best yellow rasp- 



berry yet introduced. Briefly stated it is a yellow 

 Cuthbert, of large size, great beauty, high quality, 

 hardy and productive. It is of a beautiful translu- 

 cent amber color and exceptionally Arm. The cants 

 are of the strongest growth and succeeds admirably 

 at the South and in California. It is a most valuable 

 raspberry for the amateur and no home garden is 

 complete without it; its beauty, size and flne quality 

 render it indispensable for table use. Ripens in mid- 

 season. In size it exceeds even the Cuthbert, and 

 is the highest in quality of all raspberries except the 

 old delicate Brinckle's Orange. Doz., 50c; 100, $2.00; 

 1000, $15.00.
