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



ELDORADO- Such a good grower and heavy 

 bearer with fruit so good 

 and handsome that it un- 

 failingly gives great satis- 

 faction. Its fine quality 

 renders it especially des- 

 irable for home use. Ber- 

 ries are large, glossy 

 black, rich sweet and 

 melting and its canes are 

 strong, hardy and pro- 

 ductive. Ripens about 

 second early, Doz. , 50c. ; 

 100, $2.00 ; 1000, $15.00. 



KITTATINNY. Once very popular and es- 

 pecially desirable for the home garden. It has of 

 late years shown a tendency to rust in many locali- 

 ties, which, with its lack of hardiness of cane at 

 the North, has caused other and newer varieties to 

 be preferred to it. It bears large, long, handsome 

 berries of delicious flavor ; and its canes are of 

 strong, erect growth and very productive. Mid- 

 season. Doz., 35c. ; 100, $1.50; 1000, $10.00. 



LAWTON. {Nezo Rochelle). The oldest of 

 the improved varieties and still a favorite with 

 many growers, as it does finely over a wide range 

 of country. It is of stror^g erect growth and bears 

 heavy crops of large berries which turn black be- 

 fore they are ripe and are then hard and sour ; when 

 fully ripe and soft they are exceedingly luscious 

 ?nd rich. Midseason to late. Doz., 35c. ; 100, 

 $1.50; 1000, $10.00. 



LOVETT. A 



good berry in 

 many ways, 

 yielding large 

 cfops of fine 

 fruit; very 

 hardy and re- 

 liable. The ber- 

 ries are quite 

 large, roundish, 

 jet black, firm 

 and of very 

 good quality ; 

 never turn red 

 after being 

 gathered. Canes 

 strong, vigor- 

 ous, hardy and 

 productive. A 

 field of it has 

 proved exceed- 

 ingly profitable 

 at Monmonth. 

 It ripens early 

 and continues 

 to bear for a 



long period. Doz., 35c. ; 100, $1.50 ; 1000, $10.00. 



MAXWELL. Reliable very early and fine. 

 It is of superior quality and very valuable for the 

 home garden and local market but hardly firm 

 enough for distant shipment. A strong, stocky 

 grower, productive, fair size, glossy black, sweet, 

 rich and lucious and \vithout any core. It ripens 

 with early havest and its canes are the hardiest of 

 all the very early sorts and the quality of its fruit 

 is the best. Doz., 35c.; 100, $1.50; 1000, $10.00. 



SNYDER. The standard early variety for the 

 far North ; its canes being ironclad in hardiness 

 and excessively productive. Formerly very popu- 

 lar but being rapidly superceded by the Mersereau 

 — its superior in every way. The berries, though 

 not medium in size, are sweet, juicy and very 

 good, though with many seeds. Its large yield 

 and earliness cause it to be profitable. Doz., o5c.; 

 100, $1.25; 1000, $7.00. 



TAYLOR'S PROLIFIC. Like Snyder this 

 is extremely desirable for 

 planting at the North and 

 Northwest, its great hardiness 

 of cane rendering it valuable 

 for cold climates. Few black- 

 berries are so reliable ; it never 

 fails to yield an immense crop 

 of delicious berries much larger 

 than Snyder, rich, sweet and 

 lucious. It is one of the best 

 for planting anywhere, either 

 North or South and is the best 

 late blackberry, valuable alike 

 for the home garden or for 

 market. Doz., 35c. ; 100, $1.25 ; 

 1000, $8.00. 



WILSON'S EARLY. {True). The old 

 leading market variety still largely grown in many 

 sections and valued for its 

 earliness and fine large ber- 

 ries, but it has now become 

 badly mixed throughout the 

 country, deteriorated and 

 enfeebled, so that it has been 

 superseded by other sorts. 

 The berries are large, long 

 and of good quality ; canes 

 slender, not very hardy, but 

 productive. I can supply 

 true, healthy plants of it. 

 Doz., 35c. ; 100, $1.25; 1000, 

 $8.00. 



WILSON JUNIOR. A seedling of Wilson 

 and much like it, but better by having more vigor 

 and being more reliable. The fruit is equally fine 

 and possesses the same superior shipping and 

 keeping quahties. Early. Doz., 35c. ; 100, $1.25 ; 

 1000, $8.00. 



STRAWBERRY-RASPBERRY. 



Tree Strawberry. 



This unique raspberry has been the subject of 

 much sweeping censure on account of the in- 

 sipid character of its fruit, but, on the other hand, 

 a vast amount of admiration has been expressed 

 for the great beauty of both fruit and plant. It 

 is indeed so ornamental as to be worthy of a place 

 in the garden for that reason alone. It is a true 

 raspberry of herbaceous habit with a mass of 

 deep green foliage and large, fragrant, pure 

 w^hite blossoms, producing ripe berries from 

 early in Jul}^ until frost. These are of great size, rich 

 bright crimson, of the blunted shape shown in the 

 illustration, exceedingly beautiful but dry and fla- 

 vorless. When cooked, however, it is decidedly 

 good and when mixed with other raspberries and 

 cooked it is splendid. The plant is always fresh 

 and attractive ; forming a mass of foliage and fruit 

 a foot to two, feet in height. Doz., 50c.; 100, 

 $2.00. {^By mail if preferred.)
