LOVETT’S EARLY. “Lovett's Early, is, without doubt, the most prom is ing of the early 
varieties. The plants are rank and vigorous growers, the fruit ripens early, is large and uniform

an early variety, and a prolific bearer ." — American Agriculturist. ,

We think favorably of this popular new berry. It has done exceedingly well with us 
this season, and we fin'd that the plants are much more vigorous on Ohio soil than in its 
home The fruit we received was very fine, but because we did not have a stock pnor to 
last season we Could not give them a thorough test. Our plants are all our own grown, 
and are very vigorous. The introducer speaks of it as follows : 
“ A wise son maketh a glad father, and a fruit proving under general tnal a valuable 
fruit maketh a glad disseminator. Therefore the whole world seems very bright and 
beautiful to us— and the joy we experience goes far to mitigate the trials and tabulations 
attending the management of a nursery. Lovett’s Early strawberry which we have 
fruited the past year on a more extended scale than any other— has not only borne out its 
previous good record of excelling all others as an all-round general purpose berry, but we 
are receiving most favorable reports upon it from the Experiment Stations of almost 
every state in the Union and not a single unfavorable one among them all.
