Lovett, B. (Male) 
EARLY. Bisexual. The berry of this variety 
is rather large and of deep crimson color. Us- 
ually the berry is conical in shape with long point, 
although there are always a few broad, wedge- 
shaped berries, which add very much to the ap- 
pearance of the fruit when nicely arranged in the 
box. The seeds are bright yellow, extending well 
out from the surface, and the color effect is rich 
and pleasing. The flesh is a dark red, and the 
flavor rich and juicy, possessing just sufficient 
tartness to make it a splendid canner. The calyx 
is small and adds greatly to the appearance of 
the fruit when properly packed for the market. 
As a shipper Lovett stands high, as it holds its 
brightness as long as any other variety with 
which we are familiar. This combination of ex- 
cellent qualities has made the Lovett one of the 
standard varieties, and commercial growers as 
well as thousands who have grown it in family 
gardens, pronounce it one of the best varieties 
offered. This is the nineteenth year we have bred 
this variety under our methods of selection and 
restriction. 
Highland, P. (Female) 
EARLY. Pistillate. In a series of tests, includ- 
ing 146 varieties, made on the grounds of the 
Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station, in 1905-6-7, 
the Highland led all other varieties in the test in 
all three years. It resembles in general charac- 
teristics the Crescent, whose fame has not dimin- 
ished after more than twenty-five years of gen- 
eral cultivation. The fruit is said to be larger 
than that of the Crescent, ranging from medium 
to large, and the berry is conical with an obtuse 
point. In color it is bright scarlet and the flesh 
is red from center to circumference. The plants 
are strong and vigorous. In its report the Ohio 
Station declares that the Highland gives great 
promise of becoming a fine "business berry and 
a money maker for even the small planter. ' The 
commercial growers who have made very ex- 
tended tests of the Highland, fully confirm the 
report of the Ohio Station. With such a record 
we have no hesitancy in recommending our pa- 
trons to set extensively to this variety, especially 
where the shipping distance is not too great.
