J. T. Lovett Co. — Hardy Oranges* Mulberries, Cranberries. 



HARDY ORANGE. 



Citrus Trlfoliata.— This, has 

 now been In our test grounds for 

 over three years, and, we are pleas- 

 ed to state, has proved entirely har- 

 dy without protection, a fact we 

 could not believe until we had 

 proved It, The Oranges, though 

 small In size compared with those 

 in the markets, are exceedingly 

 beautiful. They are, however, too 

 acid to eat out of hand; being used 

 as lemons to make a refreshing 

 and pleasant drink. It fruits freely 

 and blooms in spring with wonder- 

 ful profusion. The blossoms are 

 large, pure white and impart the 

 same exquisite fragrance as other 

 oranges. In habit the tree is dwarf, 

 upright, and with abundant, rich, 

 dark green, three-lobed foliage; 

 which remains upon the tree until 

 after frost, and then falls. So val- 

 uable as to well merit cultivation 

 for its beauty alone; or for Its de- 

 lightfully fragrant blossoms which 

 are produced In greater or less 

 numbers during almost the entire 

 spring, summer and autumn. Its 

 advantages as a hedge plant are its 

 natural dense habit of growth and 

 the abundance of its sharp thorns. 

 It is naturally a dwart tree and will 

 nefd but little trimming to keep it 

 within bounds. Ii nas safely whlsluou a itmperati'nj ui 18' below jero entirely unprotected. 1 yr., ea., 15c; 

 doz., $1.50; 100, $6.00, {by mail vostpaid). 2 yrs., ea., 25c; doz., $2.50; 100, $15.00 (^ly mail 3c ea. extra.) 



MULBERRIES. 



Downing's IWulberry.— It is surprising that this noble tree is not more generally planted than 

 It is, when we consider Us value as a shade tree for 

 the lawn or around the house, and the abundance of 

 Its sweet berry-like fruit. This is the finest variety 

 of mulberry yet introduced and its rapid growth, 

 profusion of foliage of such deep verdure atd 

 dense shade should give it popularity. It is a 

 charming tree, with a shapely and compact habit 

 and form; long-lived, audits wood is very durable. 

 The fruit Is very abundant, of the shape shown in 

 the illustration, and almost as large as blackberries. 

 It is sweet, deliclcus and refreshing, and is borne 

 from July until late in autumn. It is free from the 

 mawkish, cloying sweetness of other mulberries 

 and Is really very good. Poultry are particularly 

 fond of it and eat it greedily. We regard it as 

 especially desirable for planting in grounds of only 

 limited extent, such as the village door yard,wheTe 

 but one or two shade trees are grown. For this 

 purpose It is not excelled by any other tree and no 

 one will regret planting It. 1st cl., ea., 50c; doz., 

 $5.00. Small, by mall postpaid, same price.

Ijurse Cherry.— There are many varieties 

 called cherry, but the one offered is the largest and 

 best of them all. Large, round, bright red and a 

 good keeper, vine vigorous, prolific. Rather late. 



(47) 



Bell.— Well-known and extensively grown. Of 

 good size, bell- shaped, dark red, although variable 

 in form and color, vines prolific. A good keeper. 

 Ripens earlier than Cherry.
