all letters, J. T. LOVETT CO., LITTLE SILVER, N. J. Telegraph office, at Little Silver, N. J.

Payments invariably in advance.—Goods sent C. O. D. only when one-fourth the amount is sent
with order. with charges for returning money added to bill.

Orders.—Small fayors thankfully received always. but we cannot undertake to fill an or-
der of lessamount than one dollar as the cost of recording and filling the same would exceed
the amount received.

How to Order.—Be sure to write your name and address plainly—give Post Office, County and
State—and do this every time you write us; always state distinctly the size and grade of articles ordered,
as quoted in the Guide; also be particular to say always how the goods are to be sent; whether by mail,
express or freight. When these conditions are not complied with, we use our judgment as to size, and ship
by the way we deem best. Keepa correct copy of the order and check off the stock when it ar-
rives: people often forget what they order and make unjust complaint. -

Prices of this Guide abrogate previous quotations and are for the Spring of 1891 only. The prices
affixed are for the quantities specified, but half-dozen, fifty and five hundred of a variety will be supplied
at dozen, hundred and thousand rates respectively. With apples, pears, peaches and other FRUIT TREES,
fifty in assorted varieties of a class may be ordered at hundred rates and five hundred at thousand rates;
out hundred lots of strawberries, raspberries and other SMALL FRUITS cannot be made up at hundred
rates, of less than fifty of a variety, and thousand lots cannot be made upat thousand rates, of le:s than
five hundred of a variety. Single plants cannot be supplied at dozen rates;when not quoted singly they will be
furnished at the rate of one-tenth the cost of a dozen each.

Guarantee.—We warrant our stock true to name, with the express understanding that should any
not prove sc, we will refund the money paid or replace it with other stock, but are not liable for damages
beyond this. A sure indication of the purity of our stock is the fact that customers of former years con-
tinue to favor us with their orders. :

Packing is executed with the utmost care. Special pains are taken to pack lightly, thereby reduc-
ing the expense of transportation to aminimum. All goods at prices quoted in this Guide are packed
free. Everything is labelled.

Ship ping.—We deliver all goods to forwarders here without charge, after which our control ceases,
and consequently our responsibility also.. Stock shipped west of the Mississippi River by freight has to be
prepaid and orders for stock to such points to be thus shipped must be accompanied with a remittance to
cover freight charges in addition to amount for same as per prices and terms of Guide; the surplus, if
any, Will inall cases, of course, be promptly returned to the party ordering. State plainiy to what point
goocs aretobesent. We particularly caution patrons against ordering strawberry and herbaceous plants
shipped by freight. They should always go by express, or small lots by mail.

Goods by Mail at rates quoted, but we wish to emphasize that no varieties andsizes of Trees o
Plants can be shipped by mail, except those so quoted. Nothing by mail at thousand rates.

Claim~s, if any, must be made on receipt of goods, when they wiil be carefully and cheerfully
amined and, if just, all made satisfactory. Claims made after fifteen days from receipt of goods will r
entertained. Wesend out only good stock in good condition, freshly dug and carefully packed,in all ¢
but success or failure depends in so large a degree upon the weather and the care and management ai
received, that we do not, because we cannot, undertake to guarantee stock to live.

Substitution.—It is our custom, should the supply of a variety be exhausted (which will cecasic
ally occur in all nurseries), to substitute in its stead a sort of the same season of ripening, and similar
other respects, or to give the value of another grade of the variety named. When it is desired that w
shall not do this. it must be so stated in the order. To simply affix the words *‘No substitution’ is all that
is necessary. ;

Canadian customers may deductten per cent. from these Guide prices on account of Customs
Duty which we thus share with them. We have arranged with the express companies running into Canada so
that ail goods will be passed through the Custom House without delay, and the goods forwarded at the
lowest obtainable rates. The postage on Plants and Seeds to Canada being double the rate of postage in
the United States. Canadian customers desiring stock sent by mail will please remit additional, just dou=
ble the amount for postage asked in the Guide. Customers in the Dominion will please not send us
Canadian bills or coin as such must be used here at a discount; and Canadian postage stamps cannot be
used at all.

Prices quoted in this Guide are strictly net and have been made as low as possible upon the basis of
our usual terms—eash with order. We now offer no discounts, but the larger the order the better rate may
be obtained, as for example, fifty standard apple trees would secure the rate per hundred, whilst twenty
trees only must be taken at the rate perdozen. It is wise therefore for neighbors to club together and send
in their orders as one.

neighbor interested in Horticulture.

HE WORLD’S FAIR is Over.
It was a wonderful ex-
hibition indeed; we trust
you visited it and met with no
misfortune to mar your pleasure.
To contemplate the fact that those
colossal structures are being leveled to
the earth and the marvelous collection of
articles exhibited scattered over the entire
3 globe, cannot fail to give pain to the most stoical
being who saw them. Although this, the grandest display of art and
manufactures, the cereals, fruits and flowers, the inhabitants of this
planet have ever beheld, is disappearing with the same magical swiftness
with which it was produced, yet we are not without abundant reason for
rejoicing. The year, asa whole, taking the whole land into account, has
been a good one for the fruit-grower. Prices it is true have ruled low in
many instances but crops have been abundant, and the growth of Trees,
Vines and Plants has been such as to give a bright promise for the year
1894. The depression in business affairs, which fell upon the nation like a
thunder storm, spreading disaster everywhere and sweeping thousands
before it to ruin, appears to have spent its fury; the sun of prosperity is be-
ginning to shine again, assuring us of another season of general happiness.
Please bear in mind we now describe our Fruit, Trees and Plants, and
our Ornamental Trees and Plants in separate catalogues. We aim tomake
our Manual of Ornamental Trees and Plants the most accurate,
attractive, valuable and interesting of any publication of its kind published.
See mention of it upon another page. In our Guide to Fruit Culture we
give, however, upon the last pages, prices of an extended assortment of
Hardy Ornamentals. It will be observed we have added also a full assort-
ment of Roses and Chrysanthemums and a number of Summer Flowering
and Decorative Plants and Bulbs for the Lawn. We do this from the fact
that the wives, daughters and sisters of our fruit-growing patrons frequently
call for them, and we are especially anxious to please the ladies. Before
closing, permit us to direct your attention to the new Strawberries, Mary
and Henry Ward Beecher, which unite more desirable qualities than any
other varieties yet produced; Lovett’s Best and Eldorado Blackberries, two
very valuable varieties indeed; Glowing Coal and Ruby Gem apples, Cen-
tennial Cherry, Fuller Quince and that marvel of size, productiveness,
beauty and excellence, the Lincoln Plum.

(1) LOCATION.—The Rumson and Monmouth Nurseries are located within thirty
miles of New York City, five miles of Long ®raneh and two miles of Red Bank. To reach them

from New York, take the Central Railroad of New Jersey, (foot of Liberty Street), or the Pennsyl-- ~

yania Railroad (foot of Cortlandt or Desbrosses Streets). From Philadelphia, take the Philadel-
phia and Reading Railroad (Bound Brook Route), Pennsylvania Railroad (Broad and Market Streets). In
all cases get ticket for Little Silver, (good on either road). Or the Nurseries niay be approached via
the New Jersey Southern Railroad to Red Bank, and by sieamers from New York to Red Bank.

(2) Shipping Season.—The regular shipping season in Spring usually begins early in March.
During mild winters we can ship at intervals between periods of cold weather throughout the winter.
There is no better season for having Nursery stock shipped— especially to points South and Southwest, as
planting in those localities needs to be done early. In the manner we pack, no fears should be entertained
of the plants being injured en route by freezing, particularly if forwarded by express or mail.

(3) How Far do We Ship.—We are often asked can we ship plants safely to points named
throughout the United States. Wecan and do ship to all parts of the world with entire safety. Not
only do we make many shipments, both by mail and express, to Texas, California and every other State
and Territory in the Union, but also to Canada, Europe and even India, Japan, South America and Austra-
lia. Our trade in Canada is very large, and is rapidly growing in France, Germany and England.

(4) Express or Freight Charge.—Many write asking the price on such and such goods, de-
livered at, or the charges of carriage on same, to a Certain point. Our correspondence on other matters
is so great, and we are all so busy, especially during the shipping season, that this is something we cannot
attempt to give, except in carload lots. By simply enquiring at the office in the place, the rate to New
York and by estimating the weight of the goods when packed, an approximate amount can be arrived at.
We are situated so near New York and the expense from here to that city is so slight that it is not worth
considering. Therates from New York will never exceed the rate from the same place to that city,although
itis frequently less. Note ourspecial and supe2rior shipping facilities. The charges are always paid by
the purchaser unless by agreement to the contrary. The weight of trees and plants varies with size and
varieties, but on an average their weight per 100 when packed will be as follows: Apple, Pear, Plum,
Cherry and Peach trees, first-class, 100 lbs; Peach 3 to 4 feet, Quinces, etc., 50 lbs.; Grapes, Currants and
Gooseberries, two yrs, 30 ibs.; ditto, one year, 20 lbs; Blackberries and Red Raspterries, 10lbs.; Black
Raspberries, 5 lbs.; Strawberries, 30 lbs. per 1000.

(5) Estimates.—Estimates will be cheerfully and promptly furnisted to those wanting stock in
large quantities. Be careful to name the varieties desired, number of each and grade, and our lowest
figures will be given.

(6) Ordering.—A certain class of people will wait until they are all ready to set plants or trees
and then on comes the order. ** Fill af once as my ground is ready,”’ forgetting that we have many
orders on hand that must be filled first, and that their tardy orders must take theirturn. Don‘t do this,
please don’t! While there are many advantages to be gained by ordering early, nothing is to be gained
by ordering late. As we have been put to much trouble and expense by persons ordering goods to be
reserved for them, and failing to remit, thus throwing the stock upon our hands at the close of the sea-
son, a total loss, in the future it will be an invariabie rule to accept no order from those unknown to us,
unless at least 10 per cent. of the amount accompanies the same.

(7) Lost Orders.—Should you not hear from us in a reasonable length of time after sending an
order, please write us giving all the particulars—when forwarded, the amount of money sent, and in
what form remittance was made—and enclose a duplicate of the order, giving name and address plainly
and in full. Oncein a great while an order is lost; but it more frequently occurs that the person order-
ing fails to give the full address. Therefore, no matter how lately or how often you have written,
always give name, Post Office, County and State in full.

(8) Additions and Changes.—We will do our utmost to comply with the wishes of patrons
to pack additions to an order, or subsequent orders, in one package; or to make reasonable changes in
orders, but we cannot promise to doso. During the rush of the shipping season, when several hundred
orders are received and dispatched in a day, it would, in some cases, be almost impossibly to comply. No
change or countermand of an order can be considered as final without our written consent.

(9) New Warieties for Testing.—We are constantly testing new varieties of Fruit from all
parts of the country. If you or any of your neighbors have anything promising in the way of new vari-
eties, we shall be pleased to have a few plants for testing, which, of course, will not be allowed to go out
of our hands under any circumstances without instructions from the owner. In sending put the name of
the variety upon it, if it has a name, and the name and address of the sender always. This is allowed by
the Post Office in sending Plants by Mail. Please send notice by mail the same day they are sent. For-
ward in the early part of the week always, that the plants may not be laid over on the road during Sun-
day. When moss and oiled paper are not at hand, use wet chaff or material that will hold moisture, and
wrap tightly in wetrags. Always ship by United States Express (when sending by express) if possible.

(10) Agents.—We desire to impress upon purchasers tke great advantage of ordering direct
from us, as we employ no agents and are only respensible for orders sent direct to us. Thus our rela-
tions with our customers are on @ proper basis and we endeavor to give perfect satisfaction to each
one who so orders. Some think because our Prices are so low that our stock cannot be good. This is”
owing to the fact that in many cases the cost of traveling agents in soliciting orders and delivering
stock is more than double the value of Trees, Plants, Vines, etc., whilst we, dealing. as we do, direct
with the planter, can sell at these low rates the very best stock to be had anywhere.

On arrival of plants, unpack them at once, loosen the bunches and “‘heel”’ them in the ground, or
dip their roots in a ‘“* muddle,”’ made by mixing earth in water until of the consistency of cream, and lay
away in a cool, damp cellar, where they can neither dry nor freeze, until they can be planted in suitable
weather. Do not leave in package and pour water over them, as this will surely cause the plants to heat
and spoil. In planting take but few plants from the trench or package at a time, and expose as little as
possible to the wind or sun. Never plani on a windy day, and neverin freezing weather. Do not plant
deep, but press the earth firmly about the roots. Should the weather be warm. shade valuable plants for
a few days with a handful of coarse litter over each plant, or with old berry baskets or boxes.

For hill culture, plant in beds four feet wide, with alleys two feet between them. Plant in each bed
three rows of plants fifteen inches apart, and the plants the same distance apartin the rows. For the
matted-row system, plant in rows three feet apart, and the plants a foot apartin the rows; requiring
14,520 plants per acre. For the bestresults, mulching with scme light material is indispensable, which
should be applied just as soon as the ground has become siightly frozen, and partially or entirely removed
when the grcund has become “settled ’’ in Spring. Itis well for all to plant at least three varieties—
early, medium and late—to expand the season to its full limits.

The blossoms of all varieties are bi-sexual or perfect, except those marked with the letter P, which
are destitute of stamens and are termed pistillate orimperfect. Pistillate varieties must have a row of
a perfect-flowered sort, planted every nine or twelve feet among them.

STRAWBERRY GEMS OF ’93,

(Shown on Colored Plate.)

Mary, Henry Ward Beecher, Dayton, Iowa Beauty.

The field of horticulture presents many intensely interesting studies,
and of these there are few possessing a more absorbing interest than the
study of the Strawberry. It is not owing so much to the facts that the
strawberry is among the most delicious and valuable of our fruits, and the
first fruit of the season to ripen, that it claims and receives so large a share
of the attention of the true horticulturist; it is owing rather to the interest
it presents by reason of its constant changes. To-day one may have the
finest and best strawberries in cultivation; a few years hence, if no acces-
sions are made, his neighbor may have varieties that eclipse his completely.

That the standard of excellence has been carried so high that a variety
to be entitled to cultivation to-day must indeed possess great and many
merits with no serious defect, is unquestionably true; that all varieties of
the strawberry are constantly deteriorating, just as with the potato and all
other plants propagated by any method except from seed—the only source
from which a new life can be generated—must be admitted also.

Upon our grounds we have upwards of two hundred varieties, of the
Strawberry. This collection includes about all the sorts before the public—
the others being varieties believed by their originators or discoverers to
possess much value and have been sent to us for trial. From careful ob-
servation during the season just passed and in previous years, we regard the
four varieties naméd above as the GEMS OF ’93.

V MARY (P).

It would fill a large volume to tell.all of interest that could be said re-
garding this truly wonderful berry and the work of the grand old man who
originated it. Mr. Henry H. Alley, of Essex County, \New Jersey, is now
over seventy-one years old, and although a shoemaker by trade he is a
horticulturist by instinct. For the past twenty years he has devoted every
moment possible to the study of the strawberry and originating and testing
new varieties. During that time he has produced and fruited over “Aree
thousand seedlings from crosses of the best varieties in cultivation. We have
arranged with Mr. Alley for the introduction of all his seedlings and now have
the pleasure of offering the two best of the entire collection thus far fully
tested, namely Mary and Henry Warp BEECHER. As we must be brief
we can perhaps best describe the Mary by simply stating zt zs the largest
strawberry yet produced, the most prolific, the most beautiful and the firmest
large strawberry yet offered.

The berries are uniformly of the conical form, with blunt apex, shown

J. T. LOVETT CO—STRAWBERRIES. 5

in the illustration, exceptionally uniform in size and shape, deep crimson
color, and of extra rich, high quality. Of the entire list of strawberries
there is not a single sort that will keep longer when ripe or endure shipping
better. Its season is medium to late, the berries retaining their large size
remarkably well to the end. A characteristic of the variety is that its fruit
is rarely ill-shaped, never cockscombed—an unusual feature in a large berry,
The Mary was named by Mr. Alley in honor of his favorite child. We have
now had it in bearing three consecutive years and it has not as yet developed
a defect, and is so extraordinary in size, productiveness, firmness, beauty
and quality, it is with akeen sense of pleasure we offer it to the public.
Doz., $2.00; 100, $10.00; 1000, $75.00.

\/HENRY WARD BEECHER.

For enormous yield of large, firm berries, under favorable and unfav-
orable circumstances, in seasons of excessive
rain and seasons of drougth, this is the berry
to plant. It may be termed the reliable, and
is superb under all manner of trials and con-
ditions. Not so large as the Mary, yet very
large compared with other varieties; not so
beautiful, yet a handsome berry. It posses-
» ses, however, the same firmness and high qual-
ity, and is so sturdy, large,productive and en-
during, none should fail to.plant it, whether
wishing strawberries for the table or market.

Like the Mary it was produced by Mr. H.
H. Alley, and is a cross between the Cham-
pion and Sharpless. It possesses all the
valuable properties of both parents, which
may be summarized as follows: In fruit, the firmness and rich color of the
Champion in its palmy days, and the size of the Sharpless; while in plant it
has the strong habit and perfect blossom of the Sharpless and the enduring
sturdiness and productiveness of the Champion. It is perhaps an error,
from a business standpoint, to offer two strawberries for the first time to-
gether. However, the Mary and the Henry Ward Beecher are so different
and both are so exceedingly valuable it seems to us a sort of injustice to
the public to hold either until the other has been introduced.

We have subjected both to severe tests for three years without develop-
ing a defect, and therefore offer both with the fullest confidence that they
will afford the utmost satisfaction to all who plant them. We think
this variety is well named. As Beecher was the greatest pulpit orator the
world has ever known, some believe the variety bearing his name will be-
come equally eminent among strawberries. As his preceps and teachings
were untold blessings to countless thousands; so, we trust, the Beecher
Strawberry will prove a blessing to both grower and consumer, throughout
the length and breadth of our land. Midseason. Doz., $2.00; 100, $10.00;
1000, $75.00.

\, IOWA BEAUTY (Chilis),

Well named, for beautiful it is in
form and color. Beauty, however,
is not its only merit, for it is of large
size, firm and of the highest quality.
The berries are regular in form, of
the shape shown in the figure and
exceptionally uniform in size. Color
brilliant crimson*and so glossy as to
have the appearance of having been
varnished, with golden seeds laid
upon the surface. Plant of very
vigorous though not rampant growth
with a perfect blossom and yielding
abundantly. We have fruited it ex-
tensively and can give it our unqual-
ified commendation to those seeking
the choicest fruit. Ripens in mid-
season.

E. S. Carman, editor of Zhe Rural
New Yorker, says: “lowa Beauty

promises to be a magnificent variety
here—beautiful shape, fine quality.”

favorably impressed with its excel-
lence every year, not only asa table

\y DAYTON.

Cf all the berries of recent intro-
duction, nothing has pleased us more
than the Dayton, In a season of
the severest drought (there beingno
rainfall from blossoming time until
after the fruit had ripened) this va-
riety produced a good crop of beau-
tiful berries, ranging from good to
large size—the plants remaining as
vigorous and green as a field of clo-
ver. The berries are firm, regular
in size and shape, bright attractive
crimson, of excellent quality, and
ripen early. The plant being so
sturdy and prolific, and he fruit so
excellent, we are satisfied the Dayton
has come to stay. J¢ zs one of the
few varieties that has fully sustained
with us the claims of the disseminator.
and we regard it as one of the best.

This has proved itself to be an excellent new variety, ashowy market berry and very desirable for
home use. It isan improvement uvon Bubach’s No. 5, about equal to it in size and productiveness, but
of stronger growth and much firmerin flesh. The berries are large, bright crimson in color and of good
quality. It makes a,fine appearance and will surely become a popular berry, having already made hosts
of friends and being well endorsed by leading growers. Itisas3edling of uaknown parentage, found
near Greenville, Ohio, for which itis named. Midseason. Doz. 75c; 100, $2.00; 1,000, $15 00.

SHUCKLESS.

This possesses a peculiar feature
distinguishing it from others,
which is indicated by its name.
In picking, the ** shucks ”’ detach
so readily from the berries that
they remain on the stems, and
the berries are ready for immedi-
ate use without the tedious and
disagreeable task of shucking or
hulling. It isa variety of much
excellence and value being a
hardy, vigorous and productive
plant, and berries of large size,
obtuse-conical shape, bright crim-
son color, and good flavor. It
blooms late and the fruit is of
uniform size. ‘*We think that
a the Shuckless strawberry cannot
be beat for a‘market berry. It keeps as long as any berry we ever handled, and it can be handled a
great deal easier.”,—TRACHT & RICKER, Galion, O. Doz., 50c; 100, $1.50; 1,000, $10.00. ;

Vv JUCUNDA IMPROVED.

Old-time lovers of the Jucunda or Knox’s 700
who are now mourning the absence of that caprici-
ous old favorite may well be consoled by the ad-
vent of this fine variety, which not only possesses
the sterling virtues and attributes of the old favor-
ite, but is truly, as its name implies, a decided im-
provement upon it. For the Jucunda in its palm-
iest days never possessed the vigor and endurance
of this noble vari ty. And the berry itself is no
less fine, large, regular and uniform, firm and solid,
rich crimson in €olor and sweet in flavor; it is one
of the finest for the home garden and profitable for
markets where large fancy fruitis in demand. It
is a good bearer and delights in a rich, moist soil.
Midseason. Doz., 35ce; 100, $1.00; 1,000, $5.c0.

A very promising sort which should be better
known. Although of recent introduction, it has
been fruited for several years and, at its home, is
the best strawberry, all points considered, among
a collection of some sixty-five varieties. Theplant
is exceedingly productive and grows well. The
berries are held up on tall, strong frnit-stalks, and
are large, round, very uniform, and of superior
quality. It is as2edling of Windsor Chief fertilized

A new variety of undsubted value and which
promises to take a leading position among standard
sorts. A seedling from Orange County, New York,
it has fruited in various parts of the country with
desided success and is now very favorably looked
upon as one Of the *“‘coming berries.”” We have
fruited it here with much satisfaction and know it
to possess much merit. The plant is a thrifty
grower, with rank dark foliage, and a heavy
yielder; the berry is large, round, symmetrical,
dark crimson in color, high flavored, firm, and
bears shipment well. This is without doubt the
highest in quality of any of the extra large berries

that has yet appeared. Late. Doz.. $2.00; 100,

BEVERLY.

A choice variety that will give much pleasure
and satisfaction when grown on good, strong soil.
It is not adapied to careless, slovenly culture, but
will give splendid results if properly cared for.
Tbe plant is robust and its foliage is bright and
clean. The fruit is uniformly large, of bright
glossy crimson. flesh firm,and excellent in qual-
ity. Itis one of the best of the large, productive
sorts and maintains its large size to the last.

\ OMEGA (P).

SMITH’S SEEDLING.

There should be no hesitation in planting this
fine, new variety since it comes from the hands of
tne Rey. Mr. Smith, the far-famed ‘* Strawberry
King” of Wisconsin, with whom it originated. It
has, however, proved itself to be well worthy of his
commendation and an excellent market berry,
‘The plant is exceedingly vigorous and foliage
large, bright and clean. It is a heavy yielder of
large berries that hold theirsize well to the end of
the season. The berries will average nearly as
large as Bubach, are of roundish form, and one of
the firmest of the large sorts, having arrived in
perfect conditioa after a thirty-six hours’ journey
by rail. Those who are looking for a profitable
market berry will do well to try this. In the fam-
ily garden its good quality and beautiful dark rich
‘color should make it popular. Season late. Doz.,
50c; 100, $2.00; 1 000, $10.00.

\v PHILLIPS’ SEEDLING (P).

A seedling of Crescent fertilized by Sharpless.
The parentage of the latter is distinctly shown in
the berries which are large and similar to Sharpless
in general appearance, irregular in form, showy,
and of good quality. The plant is a good, thrifty
grower. In yield of fruit it perhaps surpasses
Sharpless and the berries are not so soft. In other
properties we note no improvement. Midseason.
Doz., 50c; 100, $2.00; 1,000, $10.00.

A valuable market berry in New Jersey and
equally promising for other localities. It ripens
very late and on the same quality of soil is much
more productive than Gandy. The plant is a vig-
orous grower and its foliage shows no indication

of rust or scald. The berries are large, round,

bright crimson, and firm. Fruit growers in South
Jersey, a locality where the strawberry is the sta-
ple crop, speak in very high terms of it as a profit-
able market variety. We regard it as a promising
sort. Doz., 25c; 100, 75e; 1 000, $5.00.

It is a great shame that this has been given the
name it bears as it is guite unworthy of such an
honor. I: is said to give satisfactory results at its
home on the Hudson and it may do very well in
certain other favorable localities, but the popular
verdict does not seem to bein its favor, and with
us it has shown nothing special to commend it.
However, it may be said that in good soil itis
fairly productive and the berries are of good size,
rich crimson color, and excellent flavor. Indeed,
the latter good quality isits strongest merit. For
general cultivation we do not recommend it. Late.

This is said to be the result of careful selection
made from the crossing of the best of two genera-
tions of seedlings with the best standard sorts. It
gives what promises to be one of the largest and
most productive of the early strawberries, ripening
ahead of Crescent. It has been fruited for three
or four seasons to the great satisfaction of all who
have seen it and we think it will do well generally
throughout the country. The berries are not only
large and high-colored, but also firm. This desir-
able property, combined with its early season of
ripening, should insure for ita thorough trial. It
promises to be an excellent early market sort.
Doz., 25e; 100, 75e; 1000, $5.00. =

This much-praised variety is disappointing in
that it gives promise early in the season which it
does not fulfil inits later fruiting. It resembles
Wilson closely in both habit of growth, fruit and
foliage but, except under favorable circumstan-
ces, is not very productive. Like the Wilson, the
berries, though large at first, rapidly dwindle in
size after the first picking, under ordinary field
culture. They are regular in form, glossy crimson,
firm, and of a sprightly acid favor. On heavy,
moist soil we think it would prove a satisfactory
and profitable variety, and itis a valuable and in-
teresting variety for the amateur in the home gar-
den. Early. Doz., 35¢; 100, $1.00; 1000, $5.00.

LOVETT or $1000.00 RASPBERRY.

The Lovett Raspberry, which could with propriety have been named Lovett’s Thornless (being prac-
En tically destitute of thorns), has the past
season, fully sustained, in a fruiting
field of six acres, all that has been claim-
ed for it; and taken allinall has proved
itself to be by far the best black raspber-
ry that has yet been put upon the mar-
ket. Unlike the Gregg, which it nearly
equals in size of berries,it is strongest in
growth of cane ofany,unless possibly the
Ohio. In enormous yield itis without
an equal. Add to these properties su-
« perior quality (it is the finest in flavor of
all black raspberries) jet black color,
/ firmness and long life after gathered,
adhering to the bush when ripe, and
above all, its earliness, (ripening with
Souhegan and other very early sorts) and
we have in it, what has so long been
wanted, and a most valuable fruit. Itis
entirely distinct from all other sorts.
We have now fruited the variety for five
seasons and know positively that it pos-
sesses the merits claimed forit. It has

We know of no one who has grown it or who has seen it in bearing that is not loud in its praise, and

“The canes are of vigorous growth, the tallest being over six feet. The berries are borne in short
racemes something like those of Gregg. are nearly as large, black, glossy with some bloom around the
base of the drupelets. They are as firm as it is desirable a blackcap should be; and never drop
from the receptacle. There was no marked difference in earliness between the Palmer, Progress and

Lovett. Judged from the first season of fruiting, itisan improvement, all things considered, over

Too much praise can hardly be bestowed upon this most excellent blackcap. Continued fruiting of it
raises it higher than ever in our estimation and assigns it to the front rank. It possesses all the valuable
attributes of a profitable market sort and its large size and handsome appearance ensures for it always a
ready sale and good prices. The fruit is almost as large as Gregg and with much less bloom; handsome,
firm and of fine quality. Its canes are of strong growth, entirely hardy at Monmouth, and prolific; with
tough, healthy, clean foliage. Its season is about second early—later than Souhegan but much earlier
than Gregg. By reason of its greater hardiness, less bloom and ripening earlier it}is a great improye-
ment upon the Gregg. Doz., 75c; 100, $3.50; 1000, $25.00.

VY ALL SUMMER.

This much praised
red raspberry came
originally from Mex-
ico, was fruited suc-
cessively in Califor-
\\) nia and Idaho, and
INA) has but recently been
introduced at the
East. The claims
made for it are many
and startling and can
perhaps best be told
in the introducer’s
own words: “It is an
ever - bearer, com-
mencing to ripen its
large berries in July
and continues until
killed by autumn
frosts. The plants
are strong and vigor-
ous, growing three to
five feet in height, standing erect without stakes or other support. Foliage very large and rank, dark
green above and silvery white underneath. In hardiness nothing can surpass it, as it has never been
injured in the severest climate. It also endures the heat of tropical summers, and fruits well where all
other Raspberries fail. It is immensely prolific, the berries being of great size and dark red in color;
quality extra fine. Mrs.’ Stowe, of Idaho, says: ‘It has fruited for five years and borne a full crop
each year, no matter how hot the weather. 100° to 105° in the shade is not uncommon here. It givesa
full crop where other varieties do not stand the excessive heat, and I think you will find it particularly
valuable for your Southern trade, where other sorts do not stand. Our plotis 45 feet in length, by 15
feetin width, besides a single row 115 feet long. From this plot and the row we picked last year fully 11
bushels of berries. Is not that a good yield? For five years the yield has been very uniform. In 1889
the yield during July was 244 boxes; August, 175 boxes; September, 27 boxes, an abundance of green
fruit being killed by frost September 25th.’ In many sections where the season is long enough, its Octo-
ber crop is the largest.” Doz., $1.50; 100, $10.00.

Decidedly one of the best, and especially valua-
ble for drying or evaporating purposes. Itis one
of the most vigorous of growers and the canes in
hardiness and productiveness are far above the
average. The berries are borne in large clusters,
andrival Gregg in size; of a bright black color,
very firm and Of good flavor. The canes throw
out numerous lateral branches which enable them
to bear large crops of fruit without danger of
breaking down. Its season of ripening is about
second early or between Souhegan and Ohio.

“This variety made a very vigorous growth last
year, so much so as to be easily distinguished from
all others. This year’s growth was very rank, the
canes being cut back in June, and at fruiting time
the laterals had made a growth of teninches. Itis
very productive of extra large fruit of a bright
black color, slightiy conical, borne in immense
clusters with only an exceptional blasted berry.
It is certainly a valuable market variety on account
of its firmness and productiveness.’””—PETER COL-
LIER, Director New York Experiment Station.

‘**T consider this one of the best varieties of black-
caps that I have ever seen. Itis a very large, firm
berry; growsin clusters like the Gregg, but more
prolific; good for drying.” It ripens quite early and the bush is a strong grower and hardy.—J. IRWIN

JAPANESE RASPBERRY or WINEBERRY.

GENERAL LIST.

This interesting plant belongs to the
Raspberry family, and isa large,robust.
grower, perfectly hardy and enormous-
ly prolific; the cenes are thickly coy-
ered with purplish-red hairs, which
exterd along the stem toits extremity.
The leaves are large, tot gh, dark green
above, and silvery gray keneath. The
fruit is borne in large clusters, and
each berry is at first tightly enveloped
by the large calyx, forming a sort of
burr, which is also covered with pur-
plish-red hairs so thickly as to present
the appearance of moss rose buds.
These gradually open and turn back,
exposing the fruit in all its beanty.
The berries are of a beautiful, translu-
cent appearance, running through all
the shades of amber to crimson as they
ripen. There isa freshness and bDril-
liancy about them impossible to de-
scribe, and we know of nothing in the
way Of raspberries so attractive. A
bush in full fruiting is a sight not read-
ily to be forgotten and a decided orna-
nent to the garden. In quality it is
quite distinct, but a decidedly brisk
sub-acid. When cooked it is grand, Te-
taining its rich and sprightly flavor,
and surpassing when canned or pre-
served even the Huckleberry. For
jelly making it is withoutan equal. It
begins ripening in July. the berries are
produced in great abundance, and it
continues in bearing for a long time.

LOVETT’S BEST BLACKBERRY.

Still another year further confirms the
fact that in this we have what has been
badly needed for a long time, namely:
A thoroughly reliable Blackberry of large size
/with a cane of iron-clad hardiness. Lovett’s Best
unites not only these two invaluable properties
in an eminent degree but possesses in addition
the merits of ripening early, great productive-
ness, entire freedom from disease, and double or
rose blossom, strong, vigorous growth of cane,
-extra high quality, jet black permanent color, and fine appear-
ance. (See colored plate last page of cover).

Either for profitable market growing or for the home gar-
den, it is without an equal. It has now been fruited in almost
every State in the Union and its hardiness and other valuable
properties conclusively proved by practical field tests.

“ The Blackberry which you now call Loveti’s Best is now in iis prime of yield for the season. The planis are
remarkable for hardiness and wgor and are free fromrust. The berry islarge, mostly globular. The drupes
composing the berries are large, quite firm, though juicy. The flavor should be described as rather sweet than
sour. This will prove a more desirable market berry than many of the older standard soris for either home or
market purposes. The crop is heavy bui not yet completed. Very truly, Gro. C. BuTZ.

20 J: T. LOVETT CO.-BLACK BERRIES.

In offering this very promising Blackberry we give the description of the introducer:

“‘Like many of our best fruits, it was an accidental seedling, and takes its name from the town cics¢é
by where it was found, in Preble Co., Ohio. It has been in cultivation for twelve years, and under careful
tests for four years at the different experiment stations. In every case they report it high above all other
varieties, and all agree that it has never winter killed.

“It is one of the few fruits, which have no bad qualities. While its flavor is high above all others, it is
also productive, and will stand any climate. Itis also remarkable for its keeping qualities. A box in
our office this summer was set aside for inspection, and ten days afterwards was found as sweet and rich
as the day the berries were picked.

“Summing up its qualities it is the most productive,hardiest (not being injured in Minnesota),
ofextra-fine quality, sweetness, without core—a combination which has never before keen
attained in a Blackberry.’’

We have tested the fruit and found it in quality allthatit is claimed to te; but have neveras yet
fruited{t. Being brought forward by the originator of the Greenville strawberry and from what
we have heard of it from disinterested fruit growers residing at its place of origin, we believe it to bea
very superior variety. Price, ea., 40c; doz., $33.00; 100, $20.00.

the easiest culfure. The fruitis borne in clusters,
as shown in the engraving, reddish-purple in color,
changing to bluish-black. In flayorit is of amild,
rich, sub-acid; excellent as a dessert fruit or can-
ned. Itis extremely hardy, enduring the cold of
the far North and the heat of summer without in-
jury—its only enemy so far developed being a fun-
gus which attacks the fruit and sometimes the fol-
iage in the East. In habit it is similar to the cur-
rant, the bushes attaining the same size and are
literally covered with fruitin June. The blossoms
are quite large, and composed of fine white petals;
which, withits bright, glossy, dark green foliage,
renders it one of the handsomest ornamental shrubs:
As it grows from suckers, the plants frequently
have but little roots, but they transplant so readily
that they rarely fail to liv: if planted firmly.

Improved Dwarf.—An improvement upon .
: the common Juneberry, and the variety generally
effered in the catalogues. It is a good sort, but much inferior to the following. Doz., 75c; 100, $4.00.

ingly productive. The fruit is delicious, rich and fullin flavor. Weare the introducers of this new vYa-

\ BUFFALO BERRY.

An iron-clad fruit for the frozen North and
the burning South. A fruit for everybody and
everywhere a great novelty. Itisa tree-like
shrub attaining a height of 10 feet when well
grown, of compact, symmetrical habit. Leaves
numerous and silvery white; it would be an or-
nament in any yard for its foliage alone, but
when laden with its dense, rich clusters of
crimson fruit from early summer, through the
fall and entire winter, it isa sight to be re-
membered with pleasure. The fruit is round,
smooth and glossy, resembling in size, form
and color, the cultivated red currant. Our
illustration shows a cluster, natural size. The
fruit forms in clusters to the very tips of the
branches. Itis a constant and prolific bearer,
entirely hardy, having endured 60 degrees be-
low zero. Before being touched by frost itis
very acid; freezing subdues it, until it becomes
so rich and palatable that as a dessert fruit in
midwinter it is without a rival, while for jel-
lies it is claimed by epicures to equal the fam-
ousGuaya. Itisanear relative to Hleagnus
jongipes, and as regards quality, the Rural
New Yorker says:

“Unquestionably the Shepherdia is well
worthy of cultivation for its fruit alone, which
is superior to Eleagnus.”’

VTREE CRANBERRY.

; Among the ornamental berry-bearing shrubs there
or are few superior, either for beauty or for the useful-

ness of their fruit, to the Tree Cranberry, or, as itis
often called, the High Cranberry Bush. As yet this
valuable and ornamental shrub has been singularly
neglected, being confined, except in a few rare in-
stances, to its native haunts in the North and East. It
forms a symmetrical little tree under culture, and is a
‘\\ pleasing ornament on the lawn or shrubbery. Its
\\ juicy, acid fruit is of a bright red, and is used as an
excellent substitute for the swamp cranberries. The
berries hang on well to the grayish branches and pre-
Y sent an effective appearance in winter. When growing
ina wild state it forms a dense bush but responds
readily to judicious pruning, and may be made to as-
sume either the tree form or that of an open bush. The
shrub is well worth planting for ornamental effect
alone;,its excellent fruit makes it a profitable aajunct.
It is. surprising that so few are aware of the beauty
and utility of this little tree, and many are under the
mistaken impression thatit cannot be safely trans-
planted into cultivated grounds. Plants from the nur-
sery will succeed in almost any soil and location, ané
yield in due season a bounteous supply of cranberries.
It should be more generally planted, and its value
then would soon become known and appreciated. The

\. IMPROVED DWARF
ROCKY MOUNTAIN CHERRY.

Of al! the wild fruit introduced from the West this
appears to be the most valuable; and the description
given of it, with its history, is most interesting. Al-
though a native species flourishing in the neighbor-
hood of the Rocky Mountains it seems to be unclassified
botanically, and botanists are in doubt concerning it
KH is said to be closely allied to the eastern Dwarf
Sand Cherry but differs from it in a degree that would
seem to warrant the opinion that it is a distinct species.
In cultivation it has shown a decided improvement
upon the wild form and it is probable the limit of im-
provement has not yet been reached. But whatever
its botanical position it is certainly a remarkable fruit
under cultivation and should be widely planted. As
hardy as a Wyoming Sage Brush, it has withstood a
temperature of 40 deg. below zero, unharmed in either ,;
fruit-bud or branch. It is one of the most productive
of all fruits, sixteen quarts of fruit having been picked
from off a three-years-old bush and eighty cherries off
@ branch, twelve inches long, of a two-years-old bush.
The illustration here given, which is from a photograph
of a branch, will give some idea of its productiveness.
The fruit is jet black when fully ripe, and the only
fault it has is that it turns color before ripening. In
size it averages somewhat larger than the English
Morello, its season of ripening being after all others Wj Vy)
are gone. In quality and flavor it is akin to the sweet DW
cherries, excellent in flavor and a pleasant fruit for eating out of hand.

This cherry is of a bushy habit of growth, rarely exceeding four feet in height, and is really a fine
ornamental shrub that would grace any lawn, bearing in spring a mass of beautiful white bloom. The
advent of this very desirable dwarf cherry will fill a much needed want, viz., that of a productive dwarf
cherry tree for family gardens, for which its early bearing—it begins to fruit at two years old—and ease
of culture renders it admirably adapted. We consider it a decided acquisition for garden cultivation.
Price, 12 to 20 inches, each, 40c; doz., $1.00; 100, $30.00. (Smaller by mail post free at same rates).

Culture.—A cool, moist location is best for this fruit,
and for this reason it succeeds admirably when planted by a
stone wall or fence; being benefitted by partial shade. Plant
in rows four feet apart, and the plants three feet apart in the
rows, Keep the ground mellow and free of weeds and grass;
using fertilizers copiously. Mulching is necessary for the best
returns. So soon as the leaves turn yellow and begin to fall,
with a pruning knife remove all the old wood and cut back
the young shoots a third of their jJength, cutting to the ground
enough of these to admit air and light into the bush freely.
When the currant worm appears dust the bushes with Buhach
or tobacco dust; it can be exterminated also by dissolving
powdered white hellebore (to be had at any drug store) in the
proportion of an ounce to a pail of water, and applied with a
syringe upon the leaves.

at the far North.

Rea Dutch.—An old favorite, producing in
abundance fruit of the very best quality, which is
the best of all for making jellies and wines, but
the berries are small, except on moist, rich soil.

Victoria.—Especially valuable for its late
ripening, making it desirable for both market and
home growing, and a profitable market variety.
Its season is neariy three weeks later than the
other standard sorts. Bunches long. berries
medium to large, pale red in color, and of excellent
quality. Bushes are good growers and profuse
bearers. It is a splendid variety and no collection
should be without it.

hite Grape.—This is a currant of all otbers
that should bein the family garden, not only for
its handsome appearance but for its fine quality.
Its bunches are extremely long, berries large, of a
beautiful translucent white and excellent flavor,
exceeded in this respect only by Red Dutch. The
bush is a good grower and profuse bearer. Itis
the largest and decidedly the best white variety.
and one of the best of all for the home garden-
Should always be one of those selected for table

BLACK CHAMPION.

As great an improvement among blick currants

as is Fay’s Prolific among the-red varieties. Like
Fay’s the clusters and berries are exceedingly large,
and, unlike the other varieties of its class, the
bushes are heavy annual bearers. The flavor of
the fruit is richer and much milder than in the old
Black Naples or Black English, from which it has
no doubt sprung. Entirely exempt from the rav-
ages of the Currant Worm or other insects. It is
very fine for making jellies and jams, and, in
brief, is by far the finest Black Currant yet pro-
duced. 1 yr., doz., 75c; 100, $5.00. 2 yrs., doz.,
$1.00; 100, $6.00.

CRANDALL,

A purely native American currant, quite distinct

> poe ay "3 5 & —
from the European black currant and without a
trace of its strong odor. This is the best variety of
its species yet introduced. The bush grows toa
height of four feet or more, is perfectly hardy and
immensely productive, the branches being invari-

ably loaded with fruit. The berries are large, in-
tensely black, and of afairly good quality. It is
excellent when cooked and is well adapted for
sauces, pies, jams, etc. No insect enemies have
been found to defoliate it and it is entirely exempt
from the attacks of the Currant Worm. 1yr.,d0z.,
75c; 100, $4.00. 2 yrs., doz., $1.00: 100, $6.00.

NORTH STAR.

A valuable new red currant combining many ex-

cellent qualities which promise to make it of greal
value for popular use. The plant is a thrifty
grower and succeeds on all good soils; its produc-
tiveness is unsurpassed. In both bunch and berry
the fruit is large, of bright crimson color; very
handsome and of superior quality. Its bunches
are much larger than any other currant and it ex-
ceeds all other varieties in productiveness ; indeed
were it not for its great vigor of growth it would,
by overbearing, soon become exhausted. Notwith-
standing its great vigor it has proved to be entirely
hardy wherever it has been planted. In quality
the fruit is nearer the flavor of Red Dutch than
any other. Its points of excellence may be sum-
med up as: hardiness, vigorous growth, early
fruiting and great productiveness. 1 yr., ea., 20c;
doz., $2.00; 100, $15.00. 2 yrs., ea., 30c; doz., $3.00;
100, $20.00.

This fruit, so popular, large, handsome and delicious in Europe, is beginning to receive a little of tke

attention in’ America that it well deserves. Like the
currant (to which it is closely allied) the gooseberry i¢
agross feeder and delightsinadeep, rich soil. Hs
greatest enemy is “mildew,” which, however, is gem
erally avoided by planting in partial shade, as recom-
mended for currants, and by thorough mulching. Mi
dew is now successfully treated by dissolving ene
ounce of Potassium Sulphide (liver of sulphur) in four
gallons of water,and spraying it over the bushes as
soon as the buds are opened, and several times during
the summer. The currant worm is even more destrue-
tive to the gooseberry than to the currant; ane
should it appear (it will be recognized by the spec
men upon the leaf in the above figure). treat #
as recommended on the preceding page. Plant same
distance, cultivate and prune as recommended for

GOLDEN PROLIFIC.

y

An American
seedling of the
English type fron
western New
York. It is a
promising vari-
ety of its class
and likely to be-
come as popular as the Industry.
It is hardy, a good vigorous
grower. and has proved thus far
perfectly free from mildew. The
bush is a heavy bearer, but like
other gooseberries of foreign par-
entage, requires rich, cool soil
and partial shade for best results.
Its foliage is of a dark, glabrous
green, and in a young state ite
wood is very spiny, being very distinct in this respect. The fruit
is large, of a deep golden yellow, excellent quality, and very attractive im
appearance. It seems destined to become as popular as Industry and, um-
like that variety. can be propagated readily. Exceedingly valuable, es-
pecially for the home garden. This variety will make a desirable com-
panion for Industry, especially in the home garden, as their fruit will
contrast delightfully in color. 2 yrs., ea., 30¢c; doz., $3.00.

CHATAUQUA.

A white gooseberry which is said to equal the largest and finest varieties in size, “iA - ; < <
Reauty and quality, and to excel them allin vigor and yield. Itis probably aseed- 7 Zp Ss
fing of an English variety, but shows less tendency to mildew than any other of the ;

foreign type, and it has now been successfully fruited for sev-
eral years. At the great World’s Fair, the Geneva Expert-
ment Station showed specimens of almost every known varie-
ty of gooseberries, both from Europe and America, but twe

plates of the Chatauqua overshadowed every other gooseberry
on exhibition, in size and beauty, and was equal in quality te
any of them. The tush is a vigorous, stout, stiff, upright
grower, having no more than the usual complement of thorns.
The illustration gives a fair idea of its productiveness. Its
leaves are large, glossy and dark green. Its fruitis of a beau-
tiful faint yellow color, perfectly free from spines and hairs,
averaging in size from 1 to 1144 inches in diameter and some-
times 144 inches long. It is rather thick-skinned, but very sweet and of exquisite flavor. 1 year, No.1,

of the grape vine. We refer the reader to the ex~
cellent works of Fuller and Husmann for full de-
tails. Plant in rows six feet apart and eight feet
apart in the row. Dig holes sufficiently large to
amply accommodate the roots of the vine and use
only fine surface soil in filling in, mixing with ita
little ground bone. Cut back one year vines to two
eyes, placing the lower one beneath the surface:
cut back two years vines to three or four eyes, put-
ting two or three eyes below the surface. Spread
the roots out, after trimming them. place the stock
of the vine at one side of the hole and fill up with
soil pressing down firmly with the feet. Set a
stake by the side of the s ock, to which the vine
should be kept tied, which will be all the support
needed for two years. Keep old wood trimmed off
growing fruit on newcanes. Any manner of prun-

ELZAGNUS.

Elzagnus longipes.—A beautiful shrub from Japan, belonging to the Olive family of plants.

N

It grows to the height of from
five to six feet, making a well
branched bush of great beauty;
leaves longish - oval, bright
green above and silyery-white
beneath. The blossoms appear
in May, in great profusion.
The berries are ripe early in
July and are oval in shape,
like an olive, and about the
size shown in the illustration,
often much longer, bright scar-
let, very handsome. Like cran-
berries, the fruit requires cook-
ing, and may be used in the
same manner. It is produced
in great abundance. The bush
is entirely hardy and is free
from insect enemies. Its orna-
mental beauty is beyond dis-
pute.

The true longipes is a dense,
bushy grower, which begins to
bear fruit when about two
years old and only two feet
high. With this has been con-

fused another variety, umbellatus, which is a vigorous growing, willowy shrub that often grows to

the height of ten feet without bearing fruit.

Packing Free.—Please observe that we carefully pack and deliver to railroad or boat at prices af,
fixed. Allin need of larger quantities than quoted are referred to Wholesale Price List.

Plant Small Trees.—" Small trees, ten chances to one, will come into bearing sooner than the
larger ones. * * * The larger the tree the less fibre there will be upon the roots. A tree that has plenty
of fibrous roots will live and flourish, while one that lacks such feeders will languish and perhaps die. At
least the chances are that it will never be a vigorous fruit bearer. The roots of large trees are always more
or less mutilated in taking up, while the small ones do not suffer in this way.”—Farm Journal.

Grades.—It is not always possible, especially late in the season, to give the grade ordered. In such
cases we send to the amount of value received in the size we have in stock nearest to the one selected.

In Ordering SMALL FRUITS or other small stock, it is an unprofitable plan to include a few large
sized trees, as such unduely increases the size of the package, and if to be sent a long distance by express.
increases the charges for carriage materially. As many kinds of fruit trees are large and bulky, it is usually
best, should a large number be ordered, to have them shipped by freight. The manner in which we pack

* they will keep in good condition for weeks, in cold weather for months. If ordered to be sent by express,

select the lighter grades.
MANAGEMENT.

On Arrival, trench or “heel” in slanting position, as illustrated and described on front pages. Ii
from the case being broken, or other cause, any trees be found dried or shrivelled, bury root and branch inp
moist soil, and let remain for a week or ten days to ‘‘pluinp.’? Never unpack in a frozen condition or in
freezing weather.

Planting.—-In digging holes place the top soil on one side of the hole and the subsoil on the opposite,
The holes should be broader than the roots extend; but not much deeper. Commence filling in with the tor
soil finely pulverized ; at the same time observing that every root is placed in a natural position and in con-
tact with the soil—by all means carefully guarding against the roots being tangled or matted. The earth
should be frequently trodden as the hole is being filled, to firmit. Plant but little if any deeper than the
trees stood in the nursery. Dwarf Pears, however, are frequently planted so deep that the junction of the
stock with the stem is just beneath the surface, and thus form half standards—often desirable and profitable.
Mulch the trees carefully so soon as planted by placing stable manure or other mulching material (manure
is best), covering a space somewhat larger than the spread of the roots, to a depth of four to six inches; but
put no manure in the holes with the roots. Ground bone or old bones may, however, be used to advantage
in the holes when planting.

Pruning.—A greater cause for failure than all others combined is neglect of proper—which is usually
insufficient—pruning at planting. In setting trees scarcely one person in fifty will prune as severely as should
be done to insure the best growth and ultimate success, for the reason that to do so causes the trees to look
naked and unsightly. Some desire us to prune before shipment. While we would cheerfully do this, we
hesitate, as by so doing the spurs thus formed are almost sure to gouge the stems by the jarring and joulting of
transportation, multilating the bark, and not only causing the trees to present an unsightly appearance, but
producing a veritable injury as well. The subsequent pruning consists cheifly in a judicious thinning of
the branches and cutting back the disproportionate ones so as to maintain an open head and a cymmetricial
contour. The best season for the operation is the autumn, after the leaves hav> fallen. Pruning may be
done, however, at any time during the winter, (except in freezing weather) also just after leaves have ex-
panded in spring. Never use dull tools in pruning.

Cultivation.—The cultivation should be such as to insure an abundance of light, heat, moisture and
manure. Itis necessary to keep trees of all kinds in a state of clean and annual cultivation while they are
young, in order to secure the best result. All'sown crops of grain or grass are very injurious. Orchards
should be kept in some crop, such as late potatoes, beans, corn, roots, or any other that grows the entire sea-
son, where the whole surface is kept loose and mellow and free from weeds and grass by horse cultivation
and the hoe; at least until the trees arrive at bearing age. In plowing.and cultivating care should be taken
that the roots are not injured or disturbed. When the trees come into bearing, the orchard may be seeded
down with clover, allowing the crop to fall upon the ground, and hogs and sheep turned in to eat the fallin»
fruit. This will keep in check the insects that would otherwise ruin the crop in years to follow.

tirely distinct from each other.

RUBY GEM.

We offer these two grand Ap-
ples with the utmost confidence
that they will give great satisfac-
tion to all who grow them. Did
we not know that they are simply
wonderful in their beauty and
other valuable properties, we
would not offer even one of them»
much less two new varieties, be-
cause there are sO Many new ap-
ples being put forward. Either
one of these is easily the hand-
somest and most valuable of the
Autumn Apples did not the other

Both are very fine growing varieties, with heavy abundant foliage, free

from blight or other disease; an important fact which should not be overlooked.

GLOWING COAL.

Is remarkable in three important respects, viZ.,
large size, great beauty and superb quality. Fruit
is enormous in size, ordinary specimens weighing
16 to 20 ounces, one half of each specimen bright,
glossy red, and the other half an intense scarlet.
As they hang on the tree they may be seen for a
long distance, appearing among the dense foliage
like glowing coals. The flesh is of extra high
quality, being of a rich yellow color, smooth, re-
fined texture and of a high, rich, sprightly sub-acid
flavor; fully equalling the Hubbardston Nonesuch
or a well-ripened Newtown Pippin. The tree, like
the Kieffer Pear, is an early and heavy bearer as
well as a strong grower. Season at Monmouth
early in September, It is sure to become a most
profitable variety for market, its great beauty,

large size and high quality, commanding for it
quick sales at high prices, no matter how well the
market may be supplied; and for the home orchard
it should be included in all collections, no matter
how small.

RUBY GEM.

As its name implies it is an exceedingly beauti- -
ful apple also; is not so large as Glowing Coal. Is
of good, medium size. in form as perfect almost as
though moulded in wax and of the most brilliant
red imaginable all over. Flesh, snowy white,
tender, crisp, juicy, mild, sub-acid and simply de-
licious. Tree even a stronger grower than Glow-
ing Coal, with abundant foliage, and an enormous
and early bearer. Exceedingly valuable either for
market or family use. Season early Autumn.

“CARLOUGH.

For great beauty of fruit, long keeping qual-
ities and fine growth of tree, this is decidedly
without a rival among apples. It is especially
valuable, however, as a long-keeping. sweet
apple and is by all odds the best of its kind.
The originator, for whom it was named, con-
sidered its special good qualities, late keeping
and great bearing every year, and stated that,
with him, it hung on the tree till November
acd kept until June and July. The fruit is of
medium size, ovate, smooth and uniform in
size and shape. Color bright lemon-yellow,
covered with lively crimson next the sun—as
smooth and beautiful as is possible to imagine
—hangs on the tree until freezing weather, if
permitted, and will keep in good condition
without any special care whatever until June.
In quality it is of the best, being sweet, mild,
creamy and pleasant. The treeis a most vig-
orous and beautiful grower, with stems as

straight as bamboo poles, smooth, with aheavy growth of large foliage; also an ¢ no} mous, annual bearer.
The Carlough is a chance seedling that originated in Rockland Co., New York, ona farm now owned by
Joseph Carlough, in whose honor the variety is named. On learning of its wonderful keeping properties,
growth, productiveness and bearing every year we arranged for its introduction, and have the satisfac-
tion of introducing the best long-keeplng, handsome sweet apple yet known,in which are combined

many valuable qualities long desired.

Originally from southern Missouri. It has proved

largely planted. For the South and West it is de-
cidedly one of the best and exceedingly profitable.
The fruit isas large as the Ben Davis; resembles

stem short; quality rich and exceedingly high;

season winter and an extra long keeper. Treea

Except in color this strongly resembles Smith’s
Cider. It is especially valuable for its handsome
appearance and great productiveness, causing it to
be a very profitable market variety. The fruit is
large, of a brilliant red; very highly colored; flesh
tender, mild and pleasant. Tree is a moderate
grower but a most abundant and regular bearer.

PEACHES.

Plant 18 feet apart each way—134 trees per acre. Onsandy land plant 15 feet apart each way.

We grow Peach trees in vast numbers, and.are enabled to supply trees
at low prices; surpassed by none and equailed by few.

The best soil for peaches is a sandy loam, not highly charged with veget-
able matter, and trees should not be planted upon soil where the water stands
near or upon the surface. Spring is to be preferred for planting, although it
may be done quite successfully in autumn with proper care. [f the soil be
light, set the trees fifteen feet apart each way, requiring 193 trees to the acre.
Plant no deeper than the trees stood in the nursery and make the soil very

, firm. It is important that the young tree should be properly pruned at the
time of planting. All side branches should be cut back to within a few inches of the main stem, the
latter being severed at about two-thirds the distance from the ground. Small trees should be pruned to
a whip, cutting back the stem nearly one-half the way to the ground. Theafter culture is simple, being
merely to keep the surface always mellow and free of weeds. For the first two years after planting
hoed crops may be planted between the trees with advantage, after which time they require the entire
strength of the soil. Grain crops of all kinds are injurious, and peaches seldom succeed in sod or grass.
We have found nothing so admirable and rapid as the Acme Harrow for cultivating the peach orchard
and keeping the surface mellow.- Unleached wood ashes and pure ground bone are the proper food fer-
tilizers for the peach, and are best applied broadcast in spring and harrowed in. If wood ashes cannot
be obtained, muriate of potash may be used in its place, with excellent results. The enemies with which
the peach culturist has to contend are the borer and the yellows. The former is easily overcome by mak-
ing a thorough examination of the trees every spring and cutting out with a sharp knife the grubs.
whose presence may be readily detected by the gum formed from the exuding sap.

All varieties are freestone except those noted otherwise. Those in CAPITALS are of great value.
The letter (N) succeeding the name signifies that the variety is especially valuable for the North on
account of hardiness; those with (S) especially for the South.

‘VY LOVETT’S WHITE.

Fine white peaches are always in demand and are very desirable, especially late in the season, when

they invariably command good prices. In Loy-
étt’s White may be found every quality demanded
in the ideal white peach, with the additional
merit of an ironclad tree. It has the size and
all the merits of the old Late White Heath or
Heath Cling, with the additional one of being a
perfect freestone, ripens with it, andis hand-
somer, hardier, of better quality, and amore
abundant and regular bearer. It has been thor-
oughly tested, both at the North and South, and
is a sure and abundant bearer—yielding annual-
ly, in Massachusetts and Connecticut, in orctards
#} where almost all other varieties fail. We are
/ confident it is the hardiest purely white peach
yet produced. Season very late, color pure
white; very large; splendid form, with indistinct
suture; does not crack and is exceptionally freg
from spots or mildew. It is a long keeper, the
flesh being firm, sweet and excellent, and parts
from the pit perfectly. It seems to us that this

surely fulfils all that is needed in the ideal late white peach, and the tree is an excellent grower, exceed-

ingly hardy and wonderfully prolific.

CHAMPION.

A western peach of very large size (having meas-
ured ten inches in circumference) and good qual-
ity; also noticeable for the regularity of its bearing.
Skin is of a rich, creamy white, with a red cheek;
fiesh creamy white, sweet and delicious, rich and

juicy. Itripens at its home in Illinois about Aug.
5th, Itresembles Lovett’s White, except that it
has a little color and is much earlier. We know of
no other white peach so fine which ripens so early,
and the fact that itis so hardy as to produce a crop
when all others fail, renders it of great value. Its
flesh is remarkably fine for an early peach, and
parts from the stone perfectly, leaving it dry and
with no flesh adhering, as is the case with Smock
and some other perfect freestones. 1st c., ea., 20¢;

Mee LOVETL.CO— PEARS.

PEARS.

Plant Standards 20 feet apart each way—108 trees per acre; Dwarfs, 7 to 10 feet apart each way.

Pears should be gathered from the trees and ripened in the house; some are worthless if left to ripen
on the trees, and all are better in quality if properly ripened indoors. Summer pears should be gathered
at least ten days before they would ripen, and autumn varieties two weeks. Winter pears should be
permitted to hang upon the trees until late—until the leaves have fallen if they will remain that long—
then gathered and treated the same as winterapples. Dwarf pears are those budded upon Quince stocks;
and although valuable for those who have but limited space for planting, yet are by no means so reliable
or productive as Standard trees. If planted deep they will form what are known as ‘“‘half standards,”
which are usually productive and profitable. Dwarf pears will not prove fruitful unless given high and
careful culture and pruned annually.

SENECA.

A fine fall pear, that is exceedingly desirable for
either home useor market. Large and solid; obo-
yate-pyriform in shape; of a beautiful pale yellow,
marked with bright green mofttlings and black
dots, and with a bright blush on the sunny side;
fiesh white, fine-grained, very yinous and sprightly,

may be described in briefas a Bartlett of more
beautiful color and ripens a month to six weeks
later. See colored plate. 1 yr., 2 to 3 ft., ea., $1.00;
doz., $10.00.

LINCOLN CORELESS.

This possesses a striking peculiarity in the fact
that the fruit has neither
seed nor core, being all solid
rich meat. It is from Ten-
nessee, where the original
tree is yet standing, over
sixty years old, and has
seldom failed to bear. The
fruit is very large—some-
times weighing from a
pound to a pound and a
half — high-colored and

handsome; flesh of a rich
yellow tint, mellow and
aromatic. In season it is
late, and the pears are pick-
ed when hard and green,
and laid away toripen. It
has kept in an ordinary
cellar until March--longer than any other pear has
been known to keep. Being also a good shipper,
it is a valuable pear for market. See Colored

ee GOLDEN RUSSET.

From Japan and remarkable in many ways. The
fruit is flat or apple-shaped, very regular and uni-
form, of good size—eight or ten inches around—
and becomes of a handsome golden-russet color,

hanging in clusters. The treeisaluxuriant grower
with an abundance of thick, tough leathery foliage
enabling it to endure great heat and drought with-
out injury. It is an extremely early bearer and
bears enormously every year. Ripens in Septem-
ber. Prof. J. L. Budd of Iowa, says of it: ‘“‘The
tree'thrives with us with a luxuriance never reach-
ed by anything truly indigenous to Japan. It fruits
at an early age very full, and I! believe, in the
southern half of Iowa it will give much satisfaction
at least for amateur growing. As ripened in our
hot, dry climate, it is handsome, unique, and really
good for culinary use. Indeed the last of Octuber,
properly ripened in the house, it is refreshing for
dessert use.’? See Culored Plate. 1 yr., 2 to 3 ft.,

foliage until late in the season. The fruit is of
medium size, obovate, very handsome, yellow with
bright carmine cheek;flesh is rich, juicy, aromatic,

Its fine quality and high color put itin the front rank

of dessert pears. Ripensimmediately after Seckel.

Dr. Hoskins, the well known pomologist, writes:
“In quality I rate Vermont Beauty as A No. 1, first

NEW VARIETIES.

| Small or June-budded trees by mail postpaid at each and dozen rates.

For years we have been searching everywhere for acquisitions to the list of cultivated varieties of the
Plum—those that were prolific, handsome and of fine quality, but, above everything else, those that
escape the attacks of the curculio. Our efforts have thus far resulted in bringing forward the Spaulding
and Abundance, and giving popularity to several others. We are now offering the Lincoln, which, in
several important properties, is the most remarkable Plum we have yet seen. It is theglargestin size of
all hardy plums, average specimens from overloaded trees measuring 244 inches long and over six inches
around, weighing two ounces—selected specimens weighing four ounces each; the finest in quality of
any Plum we have ever tested, surpassing its parent, that standard of excellence, the old Green Gage;
wonderfully prolific, the plums hanging like ropes of onions upon the branches; beautifulin form and
color, very early in ripening and curculio proof.

This marvelous Plum originated in York County, Pa., over twenty-five years ago, from seed of Green
Gage or Reine Claude; and Lincoln was given it as an appropriate name when it first came into bearing,
on account of its many merits of high order—Lincoln at the time being President. In color it is reddish
purple with a delicate bloom, very bright, showy and attractive; flesh light yellow or amber, exceedingly
juicy, rich, sweet, melting and luscious —entirely free from any coarseness or toughness —parting freely
from the stone. It ripens from the first to the middie of August and its productiveness is simply beyond
description. When fully ripe the skin can be readily pulled from the flesh in the manner of a scalded
tomato—being made possible by the strength of the skin, which is so strong as to completely protect the
fruit from the attacks of the curculio.

Mr. E. B. Good, York County, Pa., in sending us some specimens of the fruit on August 5th, wrote:

“*The specimens I send you by mailare of only medium size. Specimens have been grown to weigh
four ounces. The tree from which these I send you were picked is just literally covered with plums and
standing in a stiff sod. It is indeed a fine and wonderfulsight to behold. This plum will annihilate
dozens of late introduction, and I am sadly mistaken if there is not heaps of money in it for market.

YOUNG TREES OF ABUNDANCE PLUM IN NURSERY ROWS.

This is a remarkable fruit indeed. It is unlike any other plum. In growth itisso strong and hand-
some as to render it worthy of being planted as an ornamental tree—equaling in thrift and beauty Kieffer
pear, which it even excels in early and profuse bearing. Its propensity for early bearing is such that it ~
loads in the nursery row, bending the limbs with the weight of fruit until they sometimes break—the
curculio having no effect upon it. The fruit is large, showy and beautiful. Amber, turning to a rich,
bright cherry color with a decided white bloom, and highly perfumed. Flesh light yellow, exceedingly
juicy and tender, and of a delicious sweetness impossible to describe. Stone small and parts readily from
the flesh. For canning it is also of the greatest excellence. Its season is very early, ripening in advance
of other plums (early in August at Monmouth), adding to its special value. No one need longer be with-
out plums; for all who plant trees of ABUNDANCE Will have an abundance of plums. On Plum Stocks,

\ SPAULDING.

The Spaulding is a curculio-proof plum, and its
curculio enduring proclivity is not its only merit.
Unlike most other so-called curculio-proof plums,
it does not belong to the Chickasaw or American
species; but has descended from the same species
as Green Gage, Coe’s Golden Drop, Lombard, ete.
It is not exempt from the attacks of the “* Little
Turk,’’ any more than other varieties of the Furo-
pean Plum, but for some reason the wound is soon
outgrown, the plums develop fair and perfect and
no harmis done. The tree is a remarkable grower,
with leathery, large, rich dark foliage. It ripens
middle of August. The fruit is large. of the form
shown, yellowish. green with marblings of a deeper
green and a delicate white bloom; flesh pale yel-
low, exceedingly firm, of sugary sweetness, though
sprightly and of great richness, parting readily
from the small stone. When canned, it presents
not only a most attractive appearance but the qual-
ity is simply superb. On Plum, \Istc., ea., 50¢;

CENTENNIAL.

The most wonderful cherry
we have ever seen. The great
drawback to the culture of the
cherry, especially Hearts and
Bigarreaus, is their perishable
nature—every light colored va-
riety in general cultiyation be-
ing surject to quick decay. The
Centennial, on the contrary, is
so enduring in texture that it
can be Kept in gocd condition
almost indefinitely. On two
occasions ripe specimens sent
us by mail from California were
not only received in good con-
dition, but remained so for
several days after arrival. Ripe
specimens have been kept in an
ordinary room for a month
after gathered and were still
in eating condition. In addi-

Vv FULLER.

This remarkable quince has already established itself in tne opinion of all who know it, as by far the
best of all quinces yet introduced and ever in cultivation; and this notalone on account of its magnificent
fruit but for the hardiness, reliability, and healthfulness of the tree. The variety was discovered by An-
drew S. Fuller and namedin his honor by Dr. George Thurber who described it in the AMERICAN AG-
RICULTURIST as follows: ‘“‘Fruit large to very large, distinctly pyriform, often with a very abrupt and
small neck; the surface somewhat ridged; the skin assuming arich yellow color early in the season;
calyx setin a deep wide basin; flesh remarkably tender and well flayored. The quince isa most showy
tree in both flower and fruit, and the Fuller will be especially valuable to plant for ornament on account
of its exceptionally large and brilliant fruit.”

We purchased of Mr. Fuller the sole right to propagate this remarkable Quince, purchasing at the
same time one of the three large trees of it (for which by the way, we paid one hundred dollars) and have
grown a limited number of handsome nursery trees of it. The original trees are such heavy bearers that
the limbs have to be supported to prevent them. from breaking. The tree isastrong growerand has the
largest, smoothest, cleanest foliage we have ever seen upon a Quince, and remains upon the tree in full
vigor until the fruit is fully mature. The tree purchased from Mr. Fu ler, was sent us in November 1886
and to our delight bore the following year twenty-four perfect specimens and has continued fruitful every
year since. Itis the only Quince that has proved an entire success at Monmouth and in beauty of growth
and foliage, as well as beauty and excellence of fruit, it is beyond comparison with any quince we have
ever had anything to do with.

v. PAWPAW.
NORTHERN BANANA OR CUSTARD APPLE.

The fruit of this resembles somewhat in general appearance and con- -

three to four inches long, of the shape shown in the illustration, and of a
yellowish color. Like the banana the fruit is palatable only to those who
have acquired a taste for it, and by such it is highly esteemed. The pulp
\ of the fruit resembles egg custard in consistency and appearance. It has
\) the same creamy f+ eling in the mouth and unites the taste of eggs, cream,
\\) sugar and spice. It is a natural custard, rich, luscious and nutritious.

The Pawpaw is entirely distinct in character from any other fruit of
a temperate climate and would doubtless find a ready market were the

54 J. T. LOVETT CO.—HARDY ORANGE, MULBERRIES.

\ HARDY ORANGE.

Citrus trifoliata.—tThis has now been in our test grounds for five years, and, we are pleased to
state, has proved hardy without
protection, a fact we would not
believe until we had proved it.
The Oranges, though small in
size compared with those in the
markets, are exceedingly beauti-
ful. They are, however, too acid
to eat out of hand, being used as
lemons for making a refreshing
and pleasant drink. It fruits
freely and blooms in spring with
wonderful profusion. The blos-
soms are large, pure white, and
impart the same exquisite fra-
grance as other oranges. In
habit the tree is dwarf, upright,
and with abundant, ricb, dark
green, three. lobed foliage, which
remains upon the tree until after
frost, and then falls. So valua-
ble as to well merit cultivation
for its beauty alone, or for its de-
lightfully fragrant blossoms,
which are produced in greater or
less numbers during almost the
entire spring, summer and au-
tumn. Its advantages as a hedge
plant are its natural dense habit
of growth and the abundance of
its sharp thorns. Itis naturally
a dwarf tree and will need but
little trimming to keep it within
bounds. It has safely withstood
a temperature of 18° below zero

z entirely unprotected. 1 yr., doz.,

MULBERRIES.

Downing. —It is surprising that this noble tree is not more generally planted than itis, when we
- consider its value as a shade tree for the lawn or
around the house, and the abundance of its sweet
berry-like fruit. This is the finest variety of mul-
berry yet introduced and its rapid growth,profusion
of foliage of such deep verdure and dense shade
should give it popularity. Itisa charming tree,
with ashapely and compact habit of form, long-
lived, and its wcod is very durable. The fruit is
very abundant, of the shape shown in the illustra- &
tion and almost as large as blackberries. It is sweet,
delicious and refreshing and is borne from July un-
tillate in autumn. Itisfree from the mawkish,
cloying sweetness of other mulberries and is really
very good. Poultry are particularly fond of it and
eat it greedily. Weregard it as especially desir-
able for planting in grounds of only limited extent,
such as the village door yard, where but one or two
shade trees are grown. For this purpose it is not
excelled by any other tree and no one wil! regret
planting it. 4to5 ft., ea., 25c; doz., $2.50. 6 to 8

The Everblooming or Monthly roses belong chiefly
to the class known as ,Teas.

They are admired for

their delicacy of color, delightful fragrance and free-
dom of bloom, but require some protection during winter at the North. They comeinto flower the first
season and bloom profusely during the summer and autumn. A bed of Everblooming Roses will makea
delightful spot on the lawn and furnish a fine supply of buds during the whole of the growing season,

NEW VARIETIES.

Champion of the World.—This ts one of
the most remarkable roses of its class ever intro-
duced, especially so for the profusion and continu-
ity of its bloom. Itis truly a perpetual bloomer,
never without flowers. It is, moreover, entirely
hardy and will stand the winter in the open ground
in perfect safety. It is a native of Vermont,where
it has been severely tested in this respect and has
always passed through severe winters there per-
fectly unscathed. Itis across between Hermosa
and Magna Charta and in size of flower it is often
as larye as LaFrance or the best of the Hybrid Per-
petuals. The flowers are perfectly double to the
centre and of the most perfect shape both in bud
and when fully opened. Its color is lovely, being
a rich, deep, rosy-pink, darker and richer than
Hermosa, and it is exceedingly fragrant. 2% in.
pots, ea., 20c; doz., $2.00, by mail.

Bridesmaid.—aA sport from Catherine Mer-
met, retaining all the good qualities of that fine
variety with the addition of certain charms not
possessed byit. The Bridesmaid is of the same
exquisite shape and contour of bud, solid and firm,
and the stems are just as long and stiff, but itis in
color that it excels the parent, being about two
shades deeper, just enough to make it bright, and
rendering it the finest pink rose in cultivation. It
is a great acquisition. 244 in. pots, ea., 20c; doz.,
$2.00, by mail.

Rainbow.—A magnificent new rose, especi-
ally valuable for forcing, and fine for outdoor cul-
ture. The flowers are large and of fine form both
in bud and flower, a beautiful pink color streaked
with crimson and of delicate fragrance. Of strong
healthy growth and exceedingly free flowering
habit. It is largely forced in San Francisco for cut
flowers. 214 in pots, ea., 20c; doz., $2.00, by mail.

Sappho.—A very distinct and handsome rose
with a plant that is both vigorous and free bloom-
ing. The budsare medium to largein size, full

yellow. Very fine. 2% pots., ea., 20c; doz., $2.00,

For producing tropical effects, either alone or in
combination with others, there are few plants
more useful than this. It is in all respects a hand-
some plant of imposing proportions, the leaves,
under favorable conditions, growing from three to
four feet long and two to three feet wide. They
are of a deep velvety green, handsomely shaded.
It grows best ina rich soil, composed partly of
leaf mould, and should be liberally watered in dry
weather. Good tubers, ea., 20c; doz., $2.00; 100,
$10.00. (By mail 3c. each additional). Selected,

K., corallina.—Too much can scarcely be
said in favor of this beautiful flower. Its free-

dom of bloom, refined habit and rich, brilliant
color, renders it as superior to the old K. grandi-
flora or Tritoma uvaria as is Mme Crozy canna to
the varieties grown ten or fifteen years ago.

Unlike the old grandiflora the flower heads are
of graceful and handy form and size, and are
thrown up in the greatest profusion during the
whole summer and autumn. The flowers are
placed close and full upon the stem, are large and
bright lemon-yellow shaded to a most pleasing
coral-red in color. In habit it is quite dwarf, the
tips of the flower spikes rarely reaching a height
of more than two feet from the ground. The foli-
age is abundant, long. soft and slender. It is of
the easiest culture and succeeds everywhere. Not
the least of its valuable properties is its late and
persistent blooming, continuing to do so until
killed by frost. It is a very valuable flower for cut-
ting, being especially useful for church and table
decoration; and should be included in all collec-
tions of decorative plants. Good strong roots, by
mail, ea., 20c; doz., $2.00; by express, 100, $10.00.
2 yrs., ea., 25¢; doz., $2.50; 100, $15.00.

K. grandiflora.—One of the finest of the
species and but little inferior to the preceding va-
riety. Its color, however, is not so good being
much less deep and vivid. It is admirable for
planting singly on the lawn or among the shrub-
bery. The flowers are of a brilliant orange-red
borne on tall spikes, and they continue in perfec-
tion until very late in the season. It makes an ef-
fective and gorgeous display anywhere. Ea., 20¢;
doz. $2.00; 100, $10.00; (by mail 3c. each extra).

Lemoine’s Hybrids.—These beautiful hy-
brids are remarkable for the eccentric and fantas-
tic markings of their flowers, approaching almost
to the weird beauty of the Orchid. They are in all
colors, and their effect is indescribable; they must
be seen in order to be properly appreciated. They
bloom two or three weeks earlier than the ordinary
sorts, hence both may be planted to advantage.

by mail: 100, $5.00, by express.

Our assortment of Dahliasis superb and com-
prises the best and freest-blooming sorts in culti-
yation. The improvement made in this stately
flower has been, of recent years, so great that those
accustomed only to the good old-fashioned sorts
are amazed at the size, beauty and luxuriance of
the improved varieties of to-day. Every one of
the varieties we offeris the best of its kind—a
strong, vigorous grower and profuse bloomer—and
all have been carefully selected for growing speci-
men flowers. Lack of space permits of only brief
descriptions.

A. D. Livonia.—Medium, bright pink.
most beautiful in form ever produced.

Cameliafiora.—Medium, pure white.

Chang. Large, yellow tipped with crimson.

Defiance. —Large, lemon-yellow tipped white.

variegated forms. A profuse and long-continued
bloomer. Fine for cutting, their clear-cut beauty
and beautiful shades of color making them very
desirable.

HIBISCUS.

H. coccineus (Scarlet Rose Mallow).—
Among all the summer-blooming plants there are
few that will present a more efiective appearance
than this, or that will give more general satisfac-
tion. Itisa tall handsome plant of from 5 to7 ft.
high with beautiful, broad foliage and showy scar-
let flowers in great abundance. In the border,
on the lawn, or wherever it may be placed, it is al-
ways showy anda attractive, and it will thrive in
almost any soil and location. Should be taken up
in autumn and wintered in thecellar. Ea., 20c:
doz., $2.00; by mail.

TUBEROSE.

Pearl.—tThis is
far superior to the
common well-
known Tuberose, of
which it is a sport.
It is much shorter
and .vf stronger
growth, with larger
flowers and more of
them. All are fa-
miliar with the
beautiful white
flowers and power-
ful fragrance of the
Tuberose; it is of
the easiest culture
and delights in a
strong rich soil. The
balbs should be
started early in the
season in the house
and planted out
when the weather
becomes warmand settled. Extra large tubers,
ea., 10¢; doz., 50c, (by mail); 100, $2.00 (by‘erpress).

J. T. LOVETT CO—SUMMER PLANTS AND BULBS. 6&7
HYDRANGEAS.

All are hardy from Baltimore southward but at
the North should be removed to the cellar or giyen
a slight protection in winter.

Otaksa.—A fine old favorite, being a great
improvement upon the old, well-known Hortensia.
It is a robust grower and bears a profusion of very
large, well-formed trusses of rose-colored flowers,
even when the plant is small. One of the hardiest
of its class. 24 in. pots, 25¢c.,(by mail); 4 in pots,
25¢e; 6 in. pots, 50c.

Red-branched.—This, like Otaksa, belongs
to the Hortensia class, but blooms even more freely
with larger trusses of flowers and of a brighter
color. The name, Red-branched, is given it from
the fact that its foliage stemsare of adark purplish
color, while the flowering branches are of a dark
crimson, shaded towards the head toa transparent
red. Oneof the best and most reliable. 244 in.
pots, 20e (by mail): 4 in. pots, 30c; 6 in.pots, 5Ce.

Sapphire.—A strong and stocky grower
throwing out numerous truss«s of blocm with
petals of a beautiful porcelain blue color and with
a large, almost flat centre of the deepest azure
blue. Not only an abundant bloomer but also
early and continuous. Very satisfactory in every
way and a great acquisition. 244 in. pots, 20c. (by
mail); 4in. pots, 30c; 6 in. pots, 50c.

Thomas Hogg.—aA fine variety, similar to
Otaksa except that the trusses are not so large and
the flowers are of a pure snowy white. It also
blooms freely when quite small. It is an excellent
house plant and especially valuable for cemetery
planting. 2% in. rots, 15c. (by mail); 4 in. pots,

LILIES.
By mail5ic. each additional.

These beautiful and well-krown fic wers fo1m a
rare combination of surpassing loveliness and
grandeur. They are of the easiest culture and
some of them perfectly hardy; thriving in a rather

light, rich soil that is thoroughly drained. The
species named will give most satisfactory results
and all are truly elegant in bloom.

L. auratum, (Golden-banded Japan
Lily).--A grand and popular sort. Immense

blooms, pure white, with rich chocolate-crimson
spots and a bright golden band running through
the centre of each petal. Very profuse bloom and
deliciously fragrant. The bulbs are strong, im-
ported ones. Ea., 20¢; doz., $2.00; 100, $12.00.

L. Batemanniz.--A beautiful Japanese
species with large flowers of bright apricot color,
very handsome. KEa., 25¢c; doz., $2.50; 100, $15.00.

L. elegzans.—We offer a choice mixture of the
best varieties of this beautiful lily, which we know
will afford great pleasure to all who grow them.
One of the best for general planting and very vari-
ablein coloring. Ea., 15ce; doz., $1.50; 100, $10.00.

L. Harrisii. (Bermuda Easter Lily ).--This
is the lily so freely forced for Easter hlocming
but it is very fine for out-door planting. It is
remarkable for its wonderful free-flowering pro-
pensity, blooming two or three times from the
same bulb during the season and bearing many
flowers to a stalk. The flowers are large, trumpet-
shaped, pure white, and of intense fragrance.
Strong bulbs. Ea., 15c; doz., $1.50; 100, $18.00

L. lancifolium (speciosum) album.—
Superb, large, pure white flowers; plentiful and
with delicate, sweet odor. Entirely hardy. Strong
bulbs, ea., 25c; doz., $2.50; 100, $15.00.

L. lancifolium (speciosum) roseum.—
Graceful and very free-blooming. Pure white,
shaded and spotted with rose. A profuse bloomer
and perfectly hardy. Strong bulbs, ea., 20¢e; doz.,
$2.00; 100, $12.00.

L. tigrinum fi. pl. (Double Tiger Lily).—
A stately plant of 4 to 5 ft. high, bearing, in great
profusion, large, double, bright orange-red flowers,
spotted with black. It isof grand appearance, and
it has foliage of a deep dark green. Hardy as an
oak. Ea., 15c;doz., $1.50; 100, $8.00.

These improved varieties possess all the beauty of foliage and present the tropical effect of the old
ones, and in addition, flower in the greatest profusiun—the flowers almost equalling in size those of the
Gladiolus, which they excel in brilliancy. Beyond all this, the bloom is produced perpetually during the

whole of summer and autumn. We offer a choice assortment of the very best sorts, those superb varie-
ties that attracted so much attention and admiration at the World’s Fair in Chicago, where they received
just recognition by the awarding of medals, etc. They cannot fail to give great pleasure to all who plant
them, being, beyond all question, the very best varieties yet produced. Weurge the employment of Can-

has in masses wherever stately, grand and highly ornamental effects are desired.
The plants we offer are large, strong and well-formed, and should not be confounded with the weak,

poorly-rooted Cannas so often sent out.

Plants by mail postpaid at 5c. each additional.

Chas. Henderson,—This superb new vari-
ety is almost identical in habit of growth with
Mme Crozy but entirely distinct, the flowers being
of a deep bright crimson. For outdoor bedding it
is unsurpassed, by reason of its compact, perfect
habit, large size of flower, and brightness of its
color. Both the flowers alone and the heads of
bloom are larger than Mme Crozy and it is magnif-
icentin the effective grandeur of its bloom and
foliage waen massed. The plant is stately and
handsome, a fine, vigorous grower, afiording or-
nament at all times, and exceedingly desirable for
its fine effects. By far the best introduction since
Mme Crozy.

Florence Vaughan.—Decidedly the best
mottled yellow variety yet introduced. being ofa
beautiful lemon-yellow spotted with bright red. It
is a strong. robust grower, with flowers of the larg-
est size and large heads, blooms freely and is won-
derfully showy and effective. We can recom-
mend this as being very satisfactory everywhere
and its flowers exceedingly ornamental and strik-
ing in their beauty. It will be found a fine con-
trast to the preceding when in bloom. Bronze
Medal was awarded at the World’s Fair to this
grand sort.

Price of the two preceding sorts, each,
Soc; doz., $5.00.

J. T. LOVETT CO—WORLDS FAIR CANNAS. 69

Capt. P. de Suzzonii.—The best yellow
Canna for bedding. Extra large spikes and large
flowers, brilliant yellow slightly mottled with
scarlet, very showy andfine. It has a distinct habit
of growth, the foliage approaching that of the ba-
nana. Bronze medal awarded at the World’s Fair.

J. D. Cabos.—Very distinct and one of the
very finest. It has highly ornamental, dark,
greenish-maroon colored foliage with a bronze
metallic lustre. Flowers of the largest size, bright
orange or apricot, sometimes brightened with a
pinkish tinge, a shade of color that is entirely
unigue. It isa fine grower and an early, profuse
and continuous bloomer. Bronze Medal awarded
at the World’s Fair.

Egandale.—This also is a dark-leaved sort of
fine effect and great beauty. The foliage is dark
maroon and green, erect and compact. The spikes
of bloom are large and very numerous and the in-
dividual flowers large and of fine form, of a beau-
tiful bright cherry color. Itis excellent in every
respect and cannot fail to please. Bronze Medal
awarded at the World’s Fair.

Paul Bruant.—Very ornamental and one of
the most abundant bloomers of all. Foliage a
beautiful deep green edged with purple and of
dwarf habit. The flower-heads are of the largest
size, thrown up well above the foliage, and the
color is very distinct and conspicuous, an intense,
brilliant, orange-scarlet, producing a gorgeous
blaze of colorin the full sunlight. Itis sure to
give the most satisfactory results and all who plant
it will be delighted with its effects. Awarded a
Bronze Medal at the World’s Fair.

President Carnot.—One of the finest of
the dark-leaved sorts, very distinct and an excel-
lent ornamental plant. The heads of bloom are
numerous and large, with beautiful large flowers
of bright orange-scarlet suffused with pink. Foli-
age brilliant, chocolate- maroon. exceedingly hand-
some. Wecan recommend this as very desirable
and effective for bedding, a good grower and free
bloomer.

Price of the 5 preceding sorts: each,
35e3 doz., $3.50; 100, $25.00.

Count Horace de Choiseul.— Particu-
larly valuable on account of its dwarf habit, beau-
tiful color and fine flowers. Itis close and com-
pact, very dwarf, and therefore admirable for pot
and tub culture as well as being a fine bedder.
The flowers are large, of a beautiful, deep carmine,
and well formed. It is a handsome and orna-
mental plant, useful for many purposes to which
its size may commend it. Awarded Bronze Medal
at World’s Fair.

Francois Crozy.—Similar to Mme Crozy in
habit of growth and rather more dwarf. Deep green
foliage and large flowers of bright apricot shaded
with orange and edged with golden yellow.
Awarded Bronze Medal at World’s Fair.

Henry A. Dreer.—A fine new sort, very
distinct and handsome. The foliage is of a strik-
ing bronze-purple, erect and compact. Both spikes
and flowers are large, of a very rich crimson color
and exceedingly numerous, continuing fora long
time. Itisa very reliable sort and will give uni-
versal satisfaction.

Price of the preceding 3 sorts: each,
25c; doz., $2.50; 100, $18.00.

J

Alphonse Bouvier.—The finest variety of
its color known and unsurpassed for bedding out.
A luxuriant grower, reaching on rich soil a height
of eight feet, it throws up almost unceasingly
strong flower stems bearing immense trusses of
bright crimson flowers of the very largest size. A
large plant in bloom sometimes has on it as many
as thirty or forty of these large clusters and noth-
ing can exceed their brilliancy. It begins to bloom
very early and is one continuous mass of crimson
the entire season. Trial and comparison have
proved conclusively that no other variety ap-
proaches it for grandeur and effectiveness when
bedded in masses. Awarded a Bronze Medal at
the World’s Fair.

Madame Crozy.—Immense trusses of flow-
ers in great profusion; bright scarlet with a dis-
tinct border of bright golden-yellow. The foliage
is broad and massive; deep rich green and exceed-
ingly ornamental. Although of dwarf habit, the
plant is of vigorous growth and always gives satis-
faction in this respect. It continues in bloom for a
long season and is wonderfully free-flowering.

Paul Marquant,—A most distinct and
beautiful variety and an exceedingly free bloomer.
It has an abundance of very handsome, dark green
foliage and throws up flower stems freely. The
flower spikes are very large, and the individual
flowers larger than any other. The color is pecu-
liar to itself and may be described as bright sal-
mon-scarlet with a silvery lusture. Too much
praise can hardly be given it. Awarded Bronze
Medal at World’s Fair.

Geoffrey St. Hillaire.— Very ornamental.
Dark maroon colored foliage with deep bronze
lustre; flowers large and of arich, bright scarlet,
produced in great profusion throughout the entire
season. Really remarkable for the amount and
intensity of its bloom. One of the finest of all
Cannas.

Star of 1891.—A magnificent sort, especial-
ly valuable for pot culture. Very free flowering,
with large, dazzling scarlet flowers, sometimes
edged with yellow; green foliage.

Price of the 5 preceding sorts: each,
25e; doz., $2.50; 100, $15.00.

Chevalier Besson.— Handsome green fol-
lage and large, bright vermillion flowers.

flowers.

Emil Leclair.—Green foliage, bright yel-
low flowers, large and handsome.

Flamboyant. — Profuse bloomer. Large,
crimson shaded with orange; follage deep metallic
green.

Noutoni (GIANT-CARDINAL FLOWERED).— Of
great beauty, having gigantic spikes of large car-
dinal-colored flowers, which are exceedingly bril-
liant and striking.

Tonkin.—A handsome sort with deep green
foliage and fine yellow tlowers. Popular and re-
liable.

Price of the 6 preceding sorts: each,

15c¢; doz., $1.50; 100, $8.00.

The ‘“‘ Planet Jr.” & “‘ Fire-Fly”” Farm & Garden Tools.

THE PLANET JR. HILL DROPPING GARDEN DRILL.—Thisis an entirely
new machine, the latest and best of the ** Planet Jr.’ family. It holds two quarts, and sows all kinds of
g:rden seed with the greatest regularity. The plow runs any depth, from one-eighth to two inches. It
sows in drills as well as the No. 2 Drill, and will also drop in neat hills either four, six, eight or twelve
inches apart. It can be changed from a hill to a drill dropping machine or the reverse, or can be thrown
in or out of gear in a moment, and will not sow when run backwards. It is nicely adapted to working
all conditions of land, especially in fresh ground or when planting onaridge. It has a force-feed, so
that the sowing is regular no matter whether the drill is full or nearly empty. The discharge of the
seed can be stopped instantly at the end of the row, so that none need be wasted. The Opening Plow
and Coverer are specially adapted for the work they have to do, while the marker can be set any distance
desired up to twenty inches. The ability to dropin hills is a great advantage, as it saves considerable
seed, insures vigorous plants at even distances, and saves an immense amount of hand labor in thinning
out. The machine is thoroughly well made and the best tool on the market.
