Loved. B. (Male.) 
EARLY. Bisexual. Deep crimson in color 
and large as to size, with form varied just 
enough to please the eye, the Lovett is an ex- 
ceptionally attractive berry. The bright yellow 
seeds heighten the color ef- 
fect, and when this variety 
is packed properly in the 
box it would be difficult to 
imagine a more beautiful 
effect. When the berry is 
cut open the effect is en- 
hanced, as the flesh is dark 
red and very juicy, with 
enough of tartness to make 
it a good canner. The 
calyx is very small. This 
LoTott variety holds its color well 
and stands high as a market 
berry. Its numerous qualities make it one of 
the most profitable of varieties. The foliage is 
dark green and the leaves moderate in size and 
glossy. It is not a tall grower, but has ample 
foliage, which spreads over the fruit and pro- 
tects it from too much sun. It is a heavy 
bloomer and is a polleni/.er of great power. 
They do their best in the double-hedge row. 
Set plants twenty-four inches apart in the rows. 
This is the fifteenth year for Lovett in our 
breeding beds under careful seletion of the best. 
Wolverton, B. (Male.) 
EARLY. Bisexual. A large top-shaped, 
crimson berry of great merit. It is one of the 
richest on the list and has a fine-grained flesh of 
pink color, being the same texture clear through, 
and is notable for its delicate, 
mild flavor. It has a heavy 
double calyx that droops over 
the berry, which makes them 
temptingly beautiful when 
served with stems. As an all- 
round table berry it has very 
few equals. It is popular in 
the family garden and also is a 
big money maker for the grow- 
er who sells direct to consumers. 
The foliage is large with spread- 
ing habit, has a broad, light 
green leaf and heavy fruit stems. Wolverton 
The bloom is large, well de- 
veloped and so full of rich pollen that it is ideal 
for mating purposes. Grow it in double-hedge 
rows on medium-rich soil, setting plants twenty- 
four inches apart in row; cultivate until late in 
the fall to force a thick foliage, then mulch 
quite heavily, as the berries lie close to the 
ground and the material used for this will keep 
them clean. This makes the seventeenth year 
it has been bred on the Kellogg farms under ou^ 
most rigid methods of selection and restriction
