J. T. Lovett Co.— Apples. 



CARLOUGH.— In this are combined tbe valuable qualities so long desired, viz., a long keeping 



handsome sweet apple, and we unqualifiedly state 

 that for great beauty ot fruit, long keeping and 

 handsome growth of tree it is absolutely without a 

 rival among apples. The fruit is of medium size, 

 ovate, smooth and uniform in size and shape. Color 

 bright lemon- yellow, covered with lively crimson 

 next the sun — as smooth and beautiful as is possible 

 to imagine— hangs on the tree until freezing 

 weather, if permitted, and will keep in good con- 

 dition without any special care whatever until 

 June. In quality It is of the best, being sweet, 

 mild, creamy and pleasant. The tree is a most 

 vigorous and beautiful grower, with stems as 

 straight as bamboo poles, smooth, with a heavy 

 irrowth of large foliage; also an enormous, annual 

 bearer. The Carlough is a chance seedling that 

 originated In Rockland Co., New York, on a farm 

 now owned by Joseph Carlough, in whose honor the 

 variety is named. On learning of its wonderful 

 keeping properties, growth, productiveness and 

 bearing everu year we arranged for its introduc- 

 tion. Mr. Carlough wrote us on April 5th, 1885, "I have looked after the fruit for the last five years. Its good 

 qualities are late keeping and bearing every year. It hangs on the tree until November, and will keep until 

 June or July." 1st class, ea.. 50c; doz., $5.00; 100, $30.00. 1 yr., ea., 30c; doz., S3.00.
