LOVETT 8 EARLY was a chance seedling (believed to have descended from the Crescent crossed 

 with the Wilson) that was discovered in Kentucky in 18S5, near the place of origin of Charles Downing. 

 Kentucky and Downer's Prolitic. Both in Kentucky and New Jersey the variety has been tested by the 

 side of all the best varietes in cultivation, upon poor soil and without fertilizers, and in every instance 

 it has given results surpassing by far all others, responding to good soil and culture as generously as 

 any variety I know. In earliness it is second only to Crystal City (that little extra early sort being but 

 two or three days in advance of it), and in productiveness it excels all other varieties I have ever fruited, 

 and succeeds every wliere, even upon poor, light land. I do not claim for it mammotli size, but that it 

 is above medium, averaging large and very uniform, holding its size to the close ot the season better 

 than other varieties— by reason of its foliage maintaining perfect health and vigor until all berries have 

 ripened. The berries color all over at once, never with a green tip; seldom illshaped and never 

 coxcombed.
