J. T. LOVETT, LITTLE SILVER, N. J. 



LOUIS HUBACH (P). 



Remarkable, especially for its ability to with- 

 stand drought. It originated in Arkansas, is a 

 seedling of Warfield crossed with Lady Thomp- 

 son, and is a wonderful berry as regards vigur and 

 productiveness. The berry is large in size, very 



dark red, rather irregular in shape, but very firm 

 and hard for shipping. In productiveness there are 

 few that can equal it. For Southern locations and 

 on hot soil it is perhaps without an equal. Ripens 

 early, only a few days later than Michel's Early, 

 and is very much better in every way. The illus- 

 tration is of a single cluster, very greatly reduced. 

 Doz , 50 cents ; 100, $2.50. 



COM PAUL. 



One of the largest strawberries. The berries 

 are roundish-conical in shape, of a glossy bright 

 crimson, firm and of superb quality. It is so large 

 six berries of it have been kno7vn to Jill a quart, 

 and it never runs small at the last pickings. The 

 plant is large and robust, dark green, clean foliage; 

 and exceedingly prolific for such a large berry. 

 Very promising. Doz., 60c., 100, $1.50; 1,000, $8.00. 



PRESIDENT (P). 



Of direct descent from 

 the old popular Crescent 

 crossed by Nick Ohmer, 

 its parentage alone 

 would be convincing of 

 merit, but experience in 

 fruiting and plant grow- 

 ing shows it to be of the 

 very first class in size, 

 quality, firmness, color 

 and productiveness. 

 Such testimony is not 

 confined to a few 

 sources, but on the 

 contrary a host of unso- 

 licited testimonials from 

 such men as the editor 

 of the Rural New 

 Yorker and Prof. A. T. 

 Jordan, of the New Jer- 

 sey Experiment Station, 

 bear full witness of its 

 great value. In size it 

 averages larger than 

 Nick Ohmer, Gladstone, Sharpless and berries 

 of that class, and is very uniform and perfect in 

 shape and size, globular without gnarly tips, solid 

 firm flesh, of a deep rich crimson, very handsome 

 and effective. The President is bound to take 

 rank as a leading market berry, and those who 

 plant it now will reap a bountiful harvest. The 

 plant itself is all that can be desired, being a 

 strong grower with abundant dark green, thick, 

 leathery foliage ; fruit stalks very stout. For a 

 fancy market there is nothing to excel it. In Phila- 

 delphia and Trenton markets the past season, when 

 the general run of berries was both cheap and 

 plentiful, it was impossible to supply the demand 

 for President strawberries at 20 cents per quart 

 wholesale. It ripens from early to midseason. 

 The berries shown in the illustration are from a 

 photograph.'' Their size may be judged from the 

 fact they were placed in a dinner plate, as shown. 

 Doz., 50 cents ; 100, $2.00 ; 1000, $15.00. 



EARLY HATHAWAY. 



Originated with the same growers as the Louis 

 Hubach, but an entirely different style of berry. 

 This is a large berry, ripening very early, and one 

 that will bring a high price in any market where 

 fancy berries are in demand. It is said by its 

 introducers to be larger and firmer than Gandy 

 and very much more productive. Exceptionally 

 firm, of extra good quality, bright in color, very 

 attractive and sure to sell on sight. The plant is a 

 seedling of the Wilson crossed with Hoffman, and 

 fully bears out the promise given by its parentage. 

 Ripens with or before Michel's Early. Doz., 50 

 cents ; 100, $3.00. 



MRS. MARK HANNA. 



Truly gigantic in size ; a perfect marvel among 

 strawberries. For such a large berry it is wonder- 

 fully prolific, being in fact a tremendous yielder. 

 The plants are strong and vigorous in habit, with 

 an adundance of healthy foliage. Berries very 

 large, of fine bright red color, firm and very fine 

 in quality. It is a variety sure to please, both in 

 quality, size and yield. The above will give some 

 idea of this very fine strawberry, but one must fruit 

 it to know it. Doz., $1.00 ; 100, $5.00.
