NOVELTIES OF SPECIAL VALUE. 
Lovett or $1000.00 Raspberry. 
This is a new blackcap, a chance seedling from Indiana. It has been 
thoroughly tested in field culture where it originated and also in New Jersey, 
and proved to equal the Gregg in size ; to be entirely hardy, very early in 
ripening, enormously productive, a strong grower, superior in firmness and qual- 
ity and with less bloom than the Gregg. In brief, the ideal blackcap raspberry. 
One thousand dollars were paid for the control and original stock of it. Now 
offered for the first, for delivery spring 1891. $2.50 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. 
Lovett's Early Strawberry. 
Signally the strawberry novelty of the year ; a chance seedling from Ken- 
tucky, the home of the Charles Downing, Kentucky and Downer's Prolific 
strawberries. From its history and growth of plant it is believed to be a cross I 
between the Crescent and Wilson ; ripening earlier, more prolific and larger than ' 
either, equalling in firmness the famous shipper, Wilson. It is of excellent, con- | 
ical form, exceptionally uniform in size and shape throughout the season ; of I 
superior quality and bright crimson color. The blossom is perfect and the plant 
absolutely perfect in vigor and habit. It has for several years been subjected I 
to the severest tests, both in Kentucky and New Jersey, and has yet to man- 
ifest the first defect. It is the best early variety and the most profitable for 
market or garden culture — the only early, prolific and firm strawberry of good 
size thus far offered. Price $2.00 per dozen ; $10.00 per 100. 
Fuller Quince. 
First brought to notice by and named in honor of Andrew S. Fuller, author 
of Grape Culturist, Small Fruit Culturist, etc. The most reliable variety yet found, 
not having failed to produce a crop of the largest, handsomest and finest fruit in 
over twenty years. The tree is a strong grower, with large smooth foliage, 
which it has retained, and produced fruit abundantly in locations and situations 
where all other varieties of the quince are barren. The fruit ripens early, is of 
the largest size, pyriform in shape, of clear bright lemon-yellow color, highly 
flavored and tender. Price, first class, $1.50 each ; small, by mail, $1.00 each. 
Lincoln Plum. 
Originated in central Pennsylvania from seed of the popular Green Gage. 
It ripens early, in the middle of August, at its place of origin and is the largest 
in size and finest in quality of any variety we have yet seen or tested. In color 
it is reddish purple with a delicate bloom, bright and handsome ; flesh amber 
and exceedingly juicy, rich, sweet, melting and luscious. Moderate sized speci- 
mens measure six by nine inches in circumference and weigh two to three ounces. 
^Tree of moderate growth, healthy and excessively prolific. Exceptionally free 
from the attacks of the curculio and other insects. Price, first class, each $1.00 ; 
small, by mail, 75c each.

Lovett's IV kite Peach. 
In this will be found every property required to produce the ideal white 
peach, while the tree is of ironclad hardiness. It is a perfect freestone, of the 
size of Late White Heath, or Heath Cling, ripening with that very valuable 
variety, and is handsomer, of better qCiality and by reason of its hardihood of 
bloom and tree a far more abundant bearer. It does not crack nor spot by mil- 
dew, as do most white peaches ; it is of splendid form, and in color pure creamy 
white. It has now been fully tested in New Jersey, at the South, and in Massa- 
chusetts. Price, first class, 30c each; $20.00 per 100. Small or June budded 
20c each, by mail ; $12.00 per 100. 
Red Flowering Cornel. 
Too much cannot easily be said in favor of this flowering tree. In spring 
it is covered with a galaxy of bright, cheerful, rosy-red flowers, equalling in 
beauty the finest magnolia ; in autumn its handsome, brilliant crimson foliage 
surpasses the scarlet maple or scarlet oak, and in winter its branches are 
studded with bright vermilion berries. It is large enough in habit to be effect- 
ive upon the largest lawn and yet small enough for grounds of the most limited 
dimensions. Hardy everywhere and succeeds on all soils and in all situations. 
No other tree presents so many merits and is so nearly faultless. It may truly 
be styled the Queen of Ornamental Flowering Trees. Prices, 3 to 4 feet, $1.00 
each ; 5 to 6 feet, $1.50 each ; 6 to 8 feet, $2.00 each.
