J. T. Lovett Co. — Raspberries. 



GREOO (Cap).— The leading late blackcap and j 

 a popular market sort. Canes 

 of strong vigorous growth and | 

 under good culture, very pro- 

 ductive. Berries very large, ; 

 covered with heavy hloom, j 

 firm, meaty, and of fine flavor, j 

 It requires good strong soil 

 to produce best results and 

 responds liberally to generous 

 treatment. It is not entirely [ 

 hardy but suffers during unusually hard winters. 

 Doz., 35c; 100, $1,00; 1000, S8.00. 

 Hansel!.— The earliest red raspberry. ProQtable 

 on account of its extreme earli- 

 ness, bright attractive color and 

 firmness. Canes rather small, , 

 but exceedingly hardy and pro- i 

 ductile; with tough, healthy 

 foliage, enduring the hottest 

 suns with impunity. Berries of 

 large size, bright crimson, good : 

 quality and firm. Upon strong 

 soil the yield is very large and in some locations it is ^ 

 regarded as the best of all. Doz., 3.5c; 100; $1.00; ! 

 1000, $8.00. 



OTAKLBORO.— The largest of the early red j 

 raspberries, ripening a few ■ 

 days later than Hansell. 

 Whilst this is one of the ' 

 best red raspberries for the 

 North it will not endure hot : 

 suns or southern skies, be- \ 

 iag evidently of foreign par- ; 

 entage. The canes are ! 

 hardy, and fairly produc- 

 tive. Fruit exceedingly ! 

 large, bright crimson, and of fair quality. Under j 

 proper conditions, viz., cool, northern exposure, it j 

 may be considered the best early hardy raspberry, i 

 Doz., 35c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $8.00. 

 Ohio or Alden (Ca?.).— This is a popular sort in[ 

 western New York for 

 evaporating purposes, 

 being exceedingly pro- 

 ductive and the fruit 

 retaining Its flavor and 

 shape better than most 

 other varieties; it is 

 also said to require less 

 fresh berries to the 

 pound of dried fruit. 

 The berries are of good 

 size, of clear shining 

 black and good quality. 

 Ripens in mid-season. 

 Doz., 35c; 100, $1.00; 1000, $8.00. 



PROCURESS (Pioneer).— In some respects sim- 

 ilar to Souhegan but its cane 

 are of much stronger growth 

 and its yield is even greater. 

 It is entitled to high rank among 

 blackcaps and Is a most profit- 

 able market sort. It is entirely 

 hardy. Berries jet black, very, 

 firm and of good quality. It has ' 

 been largely grown by practical 

 fruit growers and has proved 

 one of the best early sorts ever introduced. It 

 will yield double the quantity of fruit per acre of 

 the Souhegan. producing as much as the Souhegan 

 does in the whole season during the first week of 

 picking. Doz., 40c; 100, $1.25; 1000, $9.00. 



Shaffer's Colossal (Cap).— An immense rasp- 

 berry both in cane and 

 fruit, and especially ad- 

 apted to the South. 

 Canes are of wonderful 

 vigor and size, hardy 

 and enormouslyproduc- 

 tive. Berries are large, 

 of a dull purplish, unat- 

 tractive color, rather 

 soft, but luscious and of a rich, sprightly flavor, 

 whilst its color and lack of firmness renders it unfit 

 for market purposes. It is unrivaled for family use 

 and is one of the best for canning. Late. Doz., 35c; 

 100, SI. 50. 



SOUHEGAN or TYLER. —A very early 

 blackcap and the leading 

 early market sort. It ripens 

 its entire crop in a veryshort 

 period. Canes vigorous andj 

 hardy, with foliage healthy' 

 and free from rust; wonder- ' 

 fully productive. Fruit of 

 good size, jet black with but 

 little bloom, firm and of 

 hweet pleasant flavor. Doz,, 

 35c; 100, $1.00; lOOO, $7.00. 



Turner (Southern Thornier).— Extremely har- 

 dy and desirable as an 

 early sort for the home 

 garden, but too soft for 

 market purposes. The 

 canes make a strong, 

 healthy growth and art 

 very productive. Berries 

 of good size, bright crim- 

 son color, soft and of hon- 

 eyed sweetness. The 

 plant suckers immoder- 

 ately, and they should be 

 treated as weeds. Season 

 early. Doz., 35c; 100, $1.00. 1000, $8.00. 



Jefferson Co,, Ind., Nov. 12, 1890. 

 The season of 1888 I visited the gardens of Mr. 

 Ezra "Wood and saw in full fruit a black raspberry, 

 which he informed me originated on his place. I 

 have been handling fruit and vegetables for a num- 

 ber of years and have never seen its equal. Though 

 other berries near by were just turning, the bushes 

 of Lovett were loaded with large flrm berries of 

 the finest flavor.— J. C. Hill. 



Imperial Nurseries and Gardens, Nov. 12, 1890. 



"I am acqualnted.with the originator from whom 

 you purchased the Lovett Raspberry. I am satlsfled 

 it Is one of the really good things, and you made no 

 mistake in giving it your name. It is sure to be a 

 winner. It originated within forty miles of here and 

 knowing how well it behaved I have been waiting 

 patiently for you to put it upon the market. I write 

 to congratulate you."— A. Glenn.
