LESTER LOVETT. 



The Latest, the Most Beautiful and the Most Profitable Strawberry. 



The Gaudy, introduced by me in l^^bb, lias proved to V>e the best Strawberry of its class as yet intro- 

 duced uniting large size, beauty, firmness and lateness. The plant is a strong grower and healthy, but as a 

 rule is not very productive, and the berries lack flavor. Lester Lovett possesses all the valuable prop- 

 erties of the Gandy , and is wonderfully prolific and of superior quality. It is a veritable giant in every 

 particular, and is as far superior to the Gandy as is that popular variety to the best late varieties which 

 preceded it. It continues to yield large, fine fruit for two weeks after the last berries of the Gandy 

 have ripened. The berries are globular or slightly conical, uniformly very large and perfect in shape, 

 continuing large to the close of the season ; color brilliant, which they hold better and longer after 

 picked than any other variety I know ; exceedingly firm and of high, rich, sweet flavos, with a delight- 

 ful and decided aroma. 



The plant is simply mammoth, the leaves frequently measuring nine to twelve inches across, on 

 stems over a foot long. The berries are produced in clusters of three to ten, on stalks almost as large 

 as one's finger and which hold the fruit from the ground yet beneath the foliage. It is the most pro- 

 digious yielder of any Strawberry I haA-e ever seen — producing more than double the number of quarts 

 of fruit upon a given space than would be produced bv the Gandj^ or any other popular varietv. 



All who fail to plant it at once make a great mistake. Dozen, 2.5c. f 100, 81.00 ; 1000, 86.00. 



DORNAN OR UNCLE JIM. 



This truly wonderful berry is of Michigan origin 

 and is a chance seedling. 



It is described as follows : vSo large that twelve 

 selected berries fill a quart basket heaping full — 

 four of the berries topping it off nicely. The ber- 

 ries are heart-shaped, very uniform in size and 

 shape throughout the season, are a bright, beau- 

 tiful red color, rendering them exceptionally at- 

 tractive ; of high quality and excellent shippers. 

 It is unsurpassed for canning. The plant is large 

 and healthy with abundant foliage, forming a row 

 just right for fruiting, and a most prodigious 

 yielder. Season medium to late ; blossom perfect 

 wdth plenty of pollen. 



Pronounced by Western growers and horticul- 

 turists to be superior to all other varieties grown 

 in the West, and so fine as a market berry that it 

 has always commanded nearly or quite, twice the 

 sum per crate of any other^variety upon the Chi- 

 cago market during the past three years. 



It is indeed a most valuable Strawberry-. Doz..

Lester Lovett, Uncle Jim and Marie are a 

 lovely trio, each worthy the company of the 

 other. Each is an honor to any garden and 

 each is entitled to entree to ever\- home in 

 the land ; AS'heather it be that of the most 

 gifted author or artist, the greatest million- 

 aire or the discerning and exclusive fruit 

 grower.
