J. T. LOVETT, LITTLE SILVER, NEW JERSEY 



MORNING STAR 



Until the advent of Early Jersey Giant, this was 

 the largest and finest Strawberry that ripened early. 

 Berries large, globular, but slightly conical, lively 

 crimson and unusually uniform both as to size and 

 shape. Plants of strong growth, very healthy and 

 a reliable yielder. It is exceptionally firm for an 

 early berry and best of all, it is of high, rich sugary 

 flavor. 



PEARL 



In heavy plant growth, this rivals the wonderful 

 Van Fleet Hybrids. It is the latest to ripen of any 

 variety I know ; being a week later than Late Jersey 

 Giant. The berries are large, of irregular form, 

 rather light in color, not firm enough for long ship- 

 ment but of superior quality. The plants are ideal 

 in growth and prolific ; much more so than its parent 

 Gandy. A very valuable variety, especially for the 

 home garden and nearby market. Dozen, 60 cents; 

 100, $3.50; 1000, $30.00 



ROBBINS' PROLIFIC 



I am disappointed in this variety; it does not 

 come up to my expectations. In New England, 

 where it originated, it may be and perhaps is a 

 valuable strawberry. At Monmouth the yield is 

 not satisfactory, and the berries though bright in 

 color and exceptionally firm, are too small to sell 

 well. The plant is vigorous and of strong growth. 

 It no doubt requires a cool, moist, fertile soil. 



SILVER COIN 



A mid-season variety that excels in uniting de- 

 sirable properties. Its salient points are exquisite 

 color, luscious flavor and great productiveness. 

 The berries are not only large but very nearly all 

 of them are large and they are very uniform in 

 shape. The color is a brilliant flame-red and the 

 texture is firm. The plant is of strong, vigorous 

 habit with large clean foliage that does not rust, 

 blight nor mildew; fruit stalks large and strong, 

 holding the great crop of berries well from the 

 ground. 



STEVENS' LATE CHAMPION 



A descendant of the Gandy. It ripens late, 

 and is similar to the Gandy in many respects ; except 

 that it yields nearly twice as many quarts of berries 

 upon a given space and the berries are not so uni- 

 form in size and shape and by no means so hand- 

 some. One of the most prolific and profitable of the 

 late varieties for market growing and a valuable 

 sort for the home garden. 



SUCCESS 



All things considered, one of the finest early 

 varieties for the home garden. Berries round or 

 slightly oblong, bright scarlet or flame color, quite 

 large and very uniform in size, color and shape. 

 Plants are vigorous, healthy and most prolific. It 

 is an improved form of the old time famous Chas. 

 Downing. Though the berries are not firm enough 

 to endure long shipment, the Success has proved a 

 success with me. It is one of the most profitable 

 strawberries for local market and very desirable for 

 the home garden.
