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



Commonwealth. (New.) — An extremely late 

 variety, producing large, luscious, beautiful 

 berries freely. Very valuable. Doz.,75c. ; 100, 

 $3.00. 



Clyde. — Ripens in midseason, is immensely 

 productive but weak in foliage, and the fruit lacks 

 firmness for shipping. Doz., 25c.; 100, 50c. 



Dornan. (Uncle Jim.) — Remarkable in its 

 ability to withstand drought. A strong grower 

 and succeeds on all soils and in all locations. 

 Berries of good size, ripen in midseason and are 

 of fair quality but do not color well on the under- 

 side, are irregular in shape and unattractive. 

 It is a good yielder. Doz., 25c. ; 100, 50c. ; 1000, 

 $2.50. 



Excelsior. — A superior shipper and a valuable 

 early sort for market growing. Berries of good 

 size but of acid flavor. Doz., 25c.; 100, 50c.; 

 1000, S2.50. 



Fairfield. — A most valuable early variety for 

 market or family use. Of good size, handsome 

 appearance and fine quality. A splendid, 

 healthy grower and a heavy yielder. Succeeds 

 on all soils. Named as the best early variety 

 at the Wooster (Ohio) Experiment station, in 

 a test of 160 varieties. Doz., 25c.; 100, 50c.; 

 1000, $2.00. 



Gandy. — The old standby as a profitable late 

 variety. Large, very beautiful and a superb 

 shipper. Yields well on heavy soil but does not 

 succeed on sandy land. Introduced by me in 

 1888 and now the most popular varietv in culti- 

 vation. Doz., 25c.; 100, 50c.; 1000, $2.50. 



Gen. De Wet. A new, very late variety, said 

 to surpass all others in size and other valuable 

 properties. The plant is a superb grower. Doz., 

 $2.00. 



Gladstone. — An improved Sharpless (of which 

 it is a seedling), being more prolific and a better 

 grower. Like its parent, it is of great size, and 

 mild, sweet flavor, ripening in midseason. Doz., 

 25c.; 100, 50c.; 1000, $2.50. 



Glen Mary. — A choice variety but one which 

 requires rich soil and high culture. Large and 

 beautiful, ripening in midseason. Doz., 25c.; 

 100, 50c. 



Howell. — A new, large and very prolific va- 

 riety which promises much value. Midseason 

 to late. Doz., 25c.; 100, $1.00. 



Lester Lovett. — I bought this variety of Mr. 

 Matthew Mullen, of Middletown Township, 

 Monmouth Co., N. J., in 1900, and paid a liberal 

 sum for the stock and control of it. Mr. Mullen 

 stated at the time of the purchase that the va- 

 riety came to him from Sweden. It is evidently 

 a seedling of the Gandy, and although apparently 

 decidedly later and more productive than its 

 parent upon most soils, yet the difference is not 

 great enough to make it worth while to grow 

 both sorts. As my plants of the Lester Lovett 

 showed signs of weakness the season just past, 

 I decided to discard it and in the future grow 

 the Gandy only. 



Lovett. — An enormous yielder of medium- 

 sized berries. A vigorous grower, succeeding 

 on all kinds of soil. Early to midseason. At- 

 tractive in color and make-up and unsurpassed 

 for shipping, but not of the best flavor. Doz., 

 25c.; 100, 50c.; 1000, $2.50. 



Mark Hanna. (P.) — A new variety and an 

 enormous yielder of fine fruit; ripening in mid- 

 season. A most promising variety for market 

 growing. Doz., 75c.; 100, S3. 00. 



Marshall. — Large, beautiful and of superb 

 quality but requires rich soil and high culture ; 

 otherwise it will prove a failure, Midseason. 

 Doz., 25c.; 100, 50c. 



McKinley. — The richest and most luscious in 

 quality of any variety in cultivation, equalling 

 in high flavor and aroma the wild strawberry 

 of our childhood. Berries very large, hand- 

 some and freely produced on strong, healthy 

 plants; ripens in midseason and is too tender 

 in texture to endure shipment. It is pre-emi- 

 nently a variety for the home garden, and if 

 confined to a single variety it is the one I should 

 plant. Doz., 25c.; 100, 50c.; 1000, $3.00. 



Miller. — An exceedingly handsome berry of 

 large size and the plants are healthy and prolific, 

 but require good loamy soil and good culture. 

 Midseason. Doz., 25c.; 100, 50c.; 1000, $3.00. 



Mrs. Mark Hanna. — A new variety; large, 

 handsome berries in prodigious quantities — being 

 literally heaped about the plants. They are 

 also attractive, of excellent quality and firm. 

 Ripens early. Doz., 75c.; 100, $3.00. 



New York. — Of mammoth size, handsome and 

 good but a poor grower and unproductive. Re- 

 quires heavy soil and high culture in the ex- 

 treme. Doz., 25c.; 100, 50c. 



Nichol's Granville. — Produces fine fruit of 

 superior quality in fairly good quantities but 

 requires good soil and liberal culture. Mid- 

 season. Doz., 25c.; 100, 50c.; 1000, $3.00. 



Oom Paul. — A new variety producing berries 

 of mammoth size — six filling a quart basket — 

 handsome and of superb quality. Ripens mid- 

 season to late and is a good yielder. Doz., 25c.; 

 100, 75c.; 1000, $5.00. 



President. (P.) — A wonderful yielder of large, 

 beautiful berries of extra high quality but, unfor- 

 tunately, they are too tender in texture to 

 market well. A most valuable variety for the 

 home garden and for local market. Doz., 25c.; 

 100, $1.00; 1000, $5.00. 



Reliance. — A new variety of great size, dark 

 crimson color and superb quality; ripening in 

 midseason. Plant a splendid grower and prolific. 

 Undoubtedly a valuable sort, especially for the 

 home garden. Doz., 75c. 



Sample. (P.) — A very prolific sort, producing 

 fine fruit for a long season — medium to late. 

 Doz., 25c.; 100, 50c.; 1000, $3.00. 



Stevens' Late Champion. — A late money- 

 making variety, yielding enormous crops of large, 

 beautiful and good berries that ship well very 

 late in the season — after almost all other va- 

 rieties have ripened and disappeared. The plant 

 is an exceptionally healthy and good grower. 

 I believe it to be an exceedingly valuable straw- 

 berry for market. Doz., 25c. ; 100, 50c. ; 1000, $3.50. 



Success. — As a variety uniting earliness Avith 

 large size, fine flavor and productiveness, it is 

 perhaps without an equal among the older sorts. 

 Lacks firmness. Doz., 25c.; 100, 50c. 



Thompson's Earliest. — Earlier than any ex- 

 cept the little discarded Crystal City; and a 

 beautiful berry of good size, bright flame color 

 and superb quality. It is a good shipper and 

 such a vigorous grower it succeeds everywhere, 

 even on light sandy land. Very profitable for 

 market and desirable for the home garden. The 

 most valuable very early variety. Doz., 25c.; 

 100, 50c.; 1000, $1.50.
