ADVICE AND TERMS.

Please Read Carefully Before Ordering.

Remit by Money Order on Lirrie Stiver, N. J., Registered Letter, Draft, or Express Money Order.
Please do not send private checks. Money Orders from Canada and other foreign countries should be made
payable at Rep Bank, N. J. Always enclose your remittance in same letter with order. Address all
letters, J. T. Lovett, Lirrne Sitver, N.J. Telegraph Office at Little Silver, N. J. Also Telephone
connections.

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.

How to Order. Order early. Please use Order Sheet and be sure to write your name and address
plainly—give Post Office, County, and State—and do this every time you write to me ; also state distinctly
the size or grade of Trees or Plants ordered, and be particular to say always how the goods are to be sent—
whether by mail, express, or freight. Keep a correct copy of the order and check off the Seeds, Trees,
Plants, etc., when they arrive. Persons sometimes forget what they order and make unjust complaint.
Ladies will oblige me by prefixing their names with ‘‘ Miss” or ‘‘ Mrs.,” as the case may be. The priccs of
this Catalogue abrogate all previous quotations, and are for the Spring of 1900 only.

Seeds. Lovert’s TEsTeED SEEDs are surpassed by none in this country in merit or in vitality and
purity. I pay postage on all seeds ordered by the packet, ounce, quarter-pound, and pound, at prices
affixed, but not on pints, quarts,and larger quantities of Beans, Peas, Corn, or other articles sold by measure,
except as noted. If ordered to be sent by express or freight the purchaser may deduct. ten cents per
pound from the prices quoted. Pleuse note the very generous Premiums on orders for seeds by the packet
and ounce, on Page 20.

Trees and Plants. [send Trees and Plants by mail postpaid, if requested, wherever so noted in con-
nection with a price. When the price does. not include postage, the rate of postage is given on all mailable
articles, under each heading. Where nothing is said as to postage, the goods are unmuailable, as in the case
of Large Trees When Plants are to be sent by mail, it must be so stated in the order and the necessary
amount for postage included in the remittance. Please note that the rates of postage to Canada on
Plants, etc., wre double thut of the United States ; hence in ordering goods by mail, Canadian customers
will please remit double the amount of postage asked for. Nuthing by mail at thousand rates. I recom-
mend that Fruit Trees and Plants be shipped by express or freight whenever practicable, as larger stock
can then be sent. I particularly caution patrons against ordering Strawberry, Greenhouse, and Herbaceous
Plants shipped by freight ; they should always go by express, or in small lots by mail. The prices quoted are
for the quantities specified, but six, fifty, and five hundred of « vardety will be supplied at dozen, hundred,
and thousand rates respectively. With apples, pears, peaches, and other Frurr TREES, fifty in assorted
varieties of u class may be ordered at hundred rates and five hundred at thousand rates ; but hundred lots of
strawberries, raspberries, and other SMALL FRurrs cannot be made up at hundred rates, of less than fifty of
a variety, and thousand lots cannot be made up at thousand rates, of less than five hundred of a variety,

Transportation Charges on all goods shipped by Express or Freight are to be paid by the purchaser.

Packing is executed with the utmost care. Special pains are taken to pack lightly, thereby reducing
the expense Of transportation toa minimum All goods at prices quoted are packed free. Everything is
labeled.

Shipping. I deliver all goods to forwarders here without charge, after which my control ceases, conse-
quently my 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 by a remittance to cover
freight charges in addition to amount for same as per quotations’; the surplus,-if any, will in all cases, of
course be promptly returned to the party ordering. State plainly to what point goods are to be sent.

Guarantee. I warrant my stock true to name, with the explicit understanding that should any not
prove so I will refund the money paid or replace it with other stock, but I am not liable for damages
beyond this. A sure indication of the purity of my stock is the fact that customers of former years con-
tinue to deal with me.

Substitution. It is my custom, should the supply of a variety be exhausted (which will occasionally
occur in all establishments), to substitute in its stead a similar sort or give the value of another grade of the
variety named. When it is desired that [shall not do this, it must be so stated in the order. To simply
affix the words ‘‘ No substitution ” is all that is necessary.

Claims, if any, must be made upon receipt of goods, when they will be carefully and cheerfully
examined and, if just, all made satisfactory. Claims made after fifteen days from receipt of goods will not
be entertained. J send out only good stock in good condition, carefully packed, in all cases, but success or
failure depends in so large a degree upon the care and management after received, that I do not, because I
cannot, undertake to guarantee stock to live.

Additions and Changes. J will do my 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 J cannot
promis? to do so. 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 impossible to comply. No change or countermand
of an order can be considered as final without my written consent.

Special Low Express Rates. By special arrangement [ secure-for.my. patrons a.low express rate on
all shipments that do not go by mail or freight.

This is to certify that I have this 4th day of December, 1899, examined the blackberry and strawberry nur-
sery stock growing on the Monmouth Nurseries, J. T. Lovett, proprietor, at Deal, Monmouth County, and find
the same apparently free from San José Scale and other dangerously injurious insect pests, and that the stock

Too much can searcely be said in commendation of each of the following five varieties of Berries. Each one is a
veritable Star and surpasses by far all others of its class that have preceded it. They are so valuable I want every-
body to plant them ; for I believe everybody who plants one or more of them will be greatly benefited by so doing.
As I can offer these varieties at lower cost in a collection, by reason of the fact that several erders for the same items
can be gotten together for shipment at one time more cheaply than when gotten up one at a time, I group them to-
gether and offer them below at a remarkable reduction from regular prices. These offers are bargains that mo one
who has room to plant, or is in any way interested in Small Fruits, can well afford to overlook. At the reduced
prices named, there is practically no profit in the sales from them, and I make them to extend the planting of these
grand sorts ; feeling assured that all who plant them will want larger quantities another year (and thus create trade),
and with a desire to benefit my patrons, by offering them good plants of the finest varieties of Berries that have
thus far appeared, at less cost than it would be possible to otherwise obtain them. Please bear in mind, however,
these collections must be taken exactly as offered and that nochange or alteration can be made in them.

SUCCESS. It is highly probable that this new vari-
ety will prove to have been rightly named; since it is

very promising indeed, and, at its home in Connecticut,

has for the past four years done better than any other
strawberry raised in that section. It is a seedling of
Bubach, fertilized by Michel’s Early, and possesses the
large size and productiveness of the former and the
earliness of the latter. The berries are large, heart-
shaped, bright glossy crimson, moderately firm, and ex-
cellent in quality; ripening up evenly and color all over
at once. The plant is a good, strong grower, and its
foliage shows no indication of rust. It is very prolific,
proving under favorable circumstances to be even more

productive than Bubach, and ripens early.

is large, dark crimson, and attractive, of uniform size
and shape, exceedingly firm, and of excellent quality. It
is a splendid shipper and stands up well. For the home
garden it will prove one of the best; its superior quality
commending it for the table and its solid flesh making it
unsurpassed for canning. Doz, 30c; 100, 75c; 1000,

THREE REMARKABLE STRAWBERRIES.

Each year the fruit-grower and nurseryman are confronted by an army of new varieties of the Strawberry, all
presenting claims for distinction. It has been my custom for many years to test, by fruiting, all attainable varieties,
and record the results of the more promising ones in my catalogue. It affords me pleasure to state that I have
never known a time when there were so many new varieties of the Strawberry which promised marked merit as the
present spring, yet the three varieties named below, viz.. Gladstone, Excelsior, and Sample, are of exceeding value.
All who fail to plant them are not living up to their priv ileges.

GLADSTONE.

een

The name selected for this variety is in a measure unfortunate; for although it is worthy of bearing the name
of ‘*the grand old man,” it gives the impression that it is an English variety. As a matterof fact, it originated
in Columbia Co., Pa,, at the home of the famous Sharpless. It begins to ripen early to medium, but continues
until late; thus giving an exceedingly long season. This it is enabled to do by reason of the phenomenal vigor
and the robust habit of the plant. The berries are of great size, frequently measuring 2144 inches in diameter,
beautiful in appearance, of conical form (though some are broad, ribbed, cockscombed, and heart-shaped) of
rich crimson color, with crimson flesh, and of the highest quality. The berries are also quite firm and are good
shippers, but its greatest value lies in its enormous yield and general adaptability. These properties, added to
its uniformly large size and high quality, render it of the foremost value, either for the home garded or tor market.

EXCELSIOR.

Of untold value as an early variety; for not only
is it the very earliest to ripen, but it is also larger,
firmer, and more prolific than any other very early
sort, and is highly colored and of good quality. ** Blood
will tell,” and the Excelsior is no exception to the rule:
being a cross of the venerable Wilson and the Hoffman—
possessing the plant of the latter,with its clean, bright
foliage, and the beantiful fruit, productiveness, and ship-
ping properties of the former. In “ Strawberry Notes ”
of the Michigan State College Experimental Station, Oct.,
1899, there are one hundred and sixty varieties of
strawberries named, and inthe remarks under ‘ Excel-
sior” I find: ‘‘ This variety was the first to ripen fruit,
and the plants were very productive.” In a letter from
Professor Taft (than whom there is no better authority
upon the Strawberry), dated Dec. 21, 1899, he says: ‘* As
an early sort, nothing is more promising than Excel-
sior.” Doz., 20c; 100, 50c; 1000, $3.50.

SAMPLE.

As a late sort this is equally as valuable as is Excelsior as an early
variety, or Gladstone for midseason, or main crop. It is described in
‘“Strawberry Notes for 1899°’ of the Michigan Experimental Station
as follows: “ Plants very strong in growth and have a healthy dark
green foliage. Berries large, round or broad conical form, and a very
dark, rich crimson color. The flesh is dark, rich, juicy, and of very good
quality and firm. The excellent plant qualities of this variety, its
productiveness, and the fine form, handsome appearance and high
quality of the fruit make this one of the most promising of the new
sorts tried this year.”” Professor aft writes, ‘* As a medium to late
variety the Sample leads them all [of 160 varieties],”

The originator in speaking of it says: ‘‘ The Sample Strawberry is
admired by everyone who has seen it, and it only awaits to be known
to be universally appreciated. No one who has seen it has been able
to criticise it. We have now watched it with the greatest interest for
three years, and are not able to say that it has a single weak point.
Believing that in introducing it we are advancing the interest of
fruit-growers and the general public, we have no hesitation in asking
a consideration of its claims.”

In brief it is an extremely prolific very late variety of great size and
high quality. Doz., 20c: 106, 50c: 1000, $3.50.

SPECIAL. Asan inducement for everybody to plant these superb
Ae: Strawberries, I will send a dozen each of Gladstone, Excelsior, and

fewrauem Sample for 50c; or for $1.00 I will send 25 each (by mail, if pre-

ferred). For $2.00 I will send 106 of each, or for $15.00 I will send
Reduced One-half. 1000 of each by express,

HOOD RIVER. A marvelous variety in many respects, combining great
shipping properties with extra fine quality and high flavor. The berries are of
large size, almost round, of a deep brilliant scarlet, very firm, and in quality
there are few that are better.- The plant is a rapid grower, but strong and exces-
sively productive; the berries lying in heaps about the plants. Season very early,
ripening with Michel’s Early. Doz., 75c; 100, $2.50.

SWEET OR BUSH CLUSTER. Of the Crescent type. but larger, firmer,
and earlier than that well-known variety, while it is equally as prolific. In qnality
it is very good, being exceedingly sweet and tender. The plant is strong and
healthy, spreading rapidly, and sure to yield a good erop under almost all cir-
cumstances. Ji isan Arkansas variety, and is well adapted to the South: its foliage
standing hot suns withimpunity. Early. Doz., 30c; 100, 75c; 1000, $5.00.

6 J. T. LOVETT, LITHLE: SILVER, ae J.
SIX EXCEEDINGLY PROFITABLE STRAWBERRIES.

BISEL (P). For quarts, quarts, quarts of large beauti-
ful berries, this variety excels allothers, when given con-
genial soil and high culture. It requires a loamy soil,
and will not succeed on thin, lightland. The berries are
conical, brilliant crimson, and glossy; large and excep-
tionally uniform in size and shape. In brief, the berries
bear strong re-
semblance to the
old-time favorite,
Jucunda or Knox
700, but the plant
is far stronger
and is healthy and
vigorous. In firm-
ness it is above
the average and
its flavor is sweet
and pleasant.
Mr. W. L. Cornell,
Queens County,
N. Y., who is one
of the most suc-
cessful growers I
know, informs me
it has proved his
most profitable
variety for several
consecutive sea-
sons (and he has
grown almost
every variety that
has been introduced during the past twenty years);
yielding a profit of five hundred dollars an acre annually,
on an average. I have planted it myself more largely
than any other variety for fruiting, and shall plant
several acres to it again the coming spring. I repeat, it
must be given high culture and good soil for good re-
sults, and I would recommend no one to plant it on sandy
or impoverished land. It isan early variety, and Smith’s
Seedling is an excellent variety for fertilizing its blos-
soms; it succeeding that variety in ripening a few days
only. Doz., 20c; 100, 50c; 1000, $2.50.

BRANDYWINE. Another superb variety and one
that is especially valuable for those who desire berries of
great size. Its berries are roundish-conical, regular
and uniform, rich glossy crimson, exceptionally firm,
and of superior, rich, aromatic flavor. The plants are

hardy and productive, with large, clean, healthy foliage.
Ripens in midseason. Although of recent introduction,
it has become a general favorite throughout the country,
by reason of its general adaptability, large size, and
other valuable properties. Its inherent vigor is such
that it needs no petting or coddling, yet its fruit is in-
variably sold as ‘‘fancy”; commanding faney prices.
For the home garden it is rapidly superseding the popu-
lar Sharpless; giving as it does a long and abundant
supply of the largest and finest berries of superior
quality. Doz., 20c; 100, 50c; 1000, $2.50.

CLYDE. One of the best of the early, large-fruited
varieties, yield- 7,

ing abundantly,
and is very pro-
fifable. The
berries are
bright in color,
hold up well,
being moder-
ately firm, and,
owing to their
quality, good
size, earliness,
and fresh color,
sell quickly and
bring in good
returns. It is
an admirable
early sort for
the family gar-
den. The plant
is excellent; a
vigorous grower
with large,
clean, dark-green foliage, entirely free from rust or
blight, and exceedingly productive. Doz., 20c; 100,
d0c; 1000, $2.50.

GANDY. This valuable strawberry, introduced by

me in 1888, retains its popularity as a late variety,

throughout the length and breadth of the land. In fact,
asa large, handsome, and very firm berry, it still remains

unequaled ; lacking only productiveness to render it
well-nigh perfect as a late market sort. Under high
culture this defect is largely removed, as it is a vigorous
grower with an extremely robust plant; but it suffers
from drought, and must in consequence be given moist
land or liberally supplied with manures to counteract
the ill-effects of dry weather. The berries are large and
uniform, both in size and shape, bright flaming crimson
and remarkably firm—standing longer and enduring
shipment better in hot weather than any other variety;
but the quality is but ordinary. Plants strong and
vigorous, with large, clean leaves and stout fruit-stems
which support the fruit from the ground. A superior
variety for canning and one that has proved a great
money-maker for many growers through the United
States and Canada. Doz., 20c; 100, 50c; 1000, $3.00.

Norman Co., MInn.
Plant sent was received in the best condition, and the
packing was most admirable. Plants might have gone

O. J. HAGEN.

et. LOVETT, LITTLE DELVE, N. J. 7

MICHIGAN. Another of my introduction, averaging
the largest in size of berries of any variety I have fruited,
and with the single exception of Hunn, the latest to

ripen of all. The berries are of perfect form and attract-
ive in appearance, of superb quality (being far superior
to Gandy in this respect), but only of moderate firmness.
The variety demands good loamy or heavy soil and good
culture, and should not be planted in sections where the
rust or blight of the foliage prevails ; as it is subject to
attacks of this fungus. The plants, however, are of
strong growth and under favorable conditions, exceed-
ingly prolific. In form, the berries are bluntly conical,
with an even surface, and are remarkably large and uni-
form in both size and shape, and are of deep crim-
son color. A general favorite as a late variety, and val-
nable for canning. Doz., 20c; 100, 50c; 1000, $3.50.

SMITH. The best and most profitable early straw-
berry thus far thoroughly tested, and one that is par-
ticularly valuable for planting on light land and for
growers who are
inclined to care-
less culture. It
will succeed
where even the
‘fold reliable ”
Crescent fails,
and iseven more
prolificthanthat
variety, famous
for productive-
ness and endur-
ance. The ber-
ries are slightly
conical (almost
round), bright
searlet color,
very uniform,
but not of large
size. In firm-
ness it has few
equals, excelling its parent (Wilson), the established
standard of excellence, asa shipper. Its quality is, how-
ever, quite inferior, being like its parent in this respect,
also, and is too acid to please most palates. It origi-
nated in Wisconsin; is a rapid grower and extremely
hardy and strong. It has never been known to rust or
blight, even in localities where all other varieties suffer
from this disease, which gives it great and special value
for some growers. Mr. Albert Hansell, Burlington Co.,
N. J., the originator of the Hansell and Rancocas Rasp-
berries and a market grower of wide experience. wrote
me on July 11 last: ‘*I cleared $325.00 on six acres of
Smith this season, which is good for this year”; and
again on December 12: *‘ The only berry that did any-
thing here this year is Smith. It seems to be rust-
proof.” It has been my most profitable early variety
for market growing for the past six years, and I shall
continue to plant it largely until I find something better.
Doz., 20c; 100, 50c: 1000, $2.50.

GENERAL LIST OF STRAWBERRIES.

If tobe sent by mail, add 25c. per 100 for postage ; at 1000 rates by express only.

BUBACH (No. 5),P. Popular by reason of its great
size and productiveness, though the fruit is rathersoft and
of indifferent quality. For a near-by market it is profit-
able; its size and handsome crimson color causing it to
sell readily at good prices; but it cannot be recommended
for shipment. Midseason. Doz., 20c; 100, 50c: 1000, $3.50.

EARLIEST. Aseedling of Michael’s Early, which it

somewhat resembles both in plant and fruit; but the-

berries are larger and the plants more productive. The
color is bright, and the flesh firm and good in quality.
Its extreme earliness renders it of great value, whether
grown for market or for a very early home supply. Suc-
ceeds finely at the South. Doz., 20c; 100, 50c; 1000, $3.00.

ENORMOUS (P). Of the largest size, somewhat
resembling Bubach in general appearance, but even
larger and much firmer. Almost round, deep crimson in
color, glossy, firm, and solid, and of excellent quality.
The plant grows well, with bright clean foliage, and, on
the good soil demanded by all large strawberries, it is
productive. A fine, showy berry, selling at high prices,
and one that is very satisfactory in the home garden.
Early. Doz., 20c; 100, 50c: 1000, $3.50.

GLEN MARY (P). A choice variety that will well
repay extra care and culture, delighting the amateur; and
one that is profitable alsoin a fancy market. The berries
are large, bright glossy crimson, and so handsome as to
bring the highest price; moderately firm and fine in flavor.
The plant is vigorous and healthy, very productive, and
the berries maintain their large size until the close of
the season. Quite early. Doz., 20c; 100, 50c; 1000, $3.00.

Postpaid at dozen rates.

JERSEY MARKET (P). Remarkable for large
yield and fine quality, and possessing other valuable
traits which make it a splendid variety for shipping as

well as very desirable for the home supply: since the
berries are both abundant and good. It resembles
Charles Downing somewhat, but is larger and firmer,
while its abundant, clean foliage is never affected by
rust or blight. The berries are bright crimson in color,
retaining their fresh appearance for a long time. May
be depended upon for a crop under all conditions. Mid-
season. Doz., 20c; 100, 50c; 1000, $2.50.

LOVETT. Productiveness, firmness, bright colar,
and long-keeping properties are the prominent merits of
this variety. It is therefore a splendid shipping sort,
and retains its bright, fresh color for a wonderfully long
time. An excellent variety also for family use, its firm-
ness making it especially valuable for canning, etc. The
plant is a strong grower, with clean, bright foliage. Ber-
ries not large, but regular, uniform in shape, conical,
bright crimson, very firm, and of excellent quality.
Ripens second early and continues long in bearing.

market wherever fine berries are indemand. The ber-
ries are uniformly large, very dark crimson when fully
ripe, handsome, and all that can be desired in the way of
quality and fine flavor. The plant is strong and luxuri-
ant. but needs rich soil and good culture for best results.
Under such conditions it is one of the best, and its ex-
cellent quality and large size render it unsurpassed for
the family garden. Midseason. Doz., 20c; 100, 50c;
1000, $3.50.

NICK OHMER. Comparatively new, but worthy of
the highest praise, being remarkable for great size, bean-
tiful color,and immense productiveness. The plant is
exceedingly vigorous, with clean, healthy foliage, with-
out the slightest tendency to rust. The berries are of
the largest size, roundish-conical in form, uniform and
regular, rich, glossy crimson, firm and solid, excellent in
quality, and average large to the very last picking. Mid-
season. Doz., 30c; 100, 75c; 1000, $5.00.

Strawberry-Raspberry.

A true raspberry of herbaceous habit, exeeedingly
unique both in plant and fruit, and so ornamental as
to be worthy of a place in the garden for that reason
alone. itis a wonderful grower, always clean and vig-
orous, with a mass of deep green foliage with large,
fragrant, pure white blossoms, and although it suckers
immoderately, it is extremely hardy and produces ripe
berries for a period of some teu or twelve weeks—from
early in July until frost. The berries are of enormous
size, of the richest shade of bright crimson imaginable,
and are in very truth the most exquisitely beautifui of
any berry I have ever looked upon; but sadly deficient
in flavor, being dry and insipid. When stewed, how-
ever, it is very good, and superb when cooked with
some other red raspberry. It has been claimed to be a
hybrid of the Strawberry and the Raspberry, but this I
do not think is correct.

LOVETT, LITTLE SILVER, eed.

MURRAY’S EXTRA EARLY. Especially valuable
onaccount of its extreme earliness, but it possesses also
large size, productiveness, firmness, and good quality.

Of Southern origin, it is well adapted to Southern loca-
tions, its foliage being free from sun-scald, and the
plant strong and productive. The berries are large,
deep crimson, of firm, dry flesh, sweet and richly fla-
vored. It is valuable for an early supply of berries in
the home garden, and also for market-growing. Doz.,
20e; 100, 50c; 1000, $3.00.

SEAFORD (Lloyd), P. Of the Bubach type and
something similar. The berry is large, deep, rich,
glossy crimson, and of good quality. Plant large and
vigorous, with foliage that endures hot suns with won-
derful endurance. Valuable either for market shipment
or for family use, vielding an abundance of splendid ber-
ries. It ripens about second early, and will be found
very desirable to succeed the early sorts and usher in
those ripening later. Doz., 20c; 100, 50c; 1000, $3.00.

SHARPLESS. A well-known and popular variety,
producing large berries of mild, pleasant flavor, but in lim-
ited quantities, except under favorable conditions. The
plant is large and vigorous, free from rust or blight.
The berries are very large; somewhat irregular in shape,
bright crimson, of good quality, but rather soft. Its
large, handsome fruit and good quality have made it a
favorite. Midseason. Doz., 20c; 100, 50c; 1000, $3.00.

TIMBRELL (P). Where it succeedsit is a valuable
variety for the home garden by reason of its fine, hand-
some berries, but it demands rich soil and eareful cul-
ture. A good grower, with rank dark foliage; berries large,
firm, dark crimson, and of fine quality. Excellent for
canning. Especially suited to the amateur who will
grow it well, and very desirable for his table on account
of its fine quality and large size. Late. Doz., 25c; 100,

The upright growing varieties should be planted for field culture in rows six feet apart, and the plants three
feet distant in the rows, requiring 2,400 plants per acre; or four feet apart each way, to be cultivated in’ hills,
requiring 2,709 plants per acre. It is best to place two plents in each hill, requiring, of course, double the number.
In garden culture plant three feet apart each way and restrict to hills, Soon as planted cut back the canes to
within a few inches of the ground. In field culture plant the cap varieties in rows seven feet apart and three feet
six inches distant in the row, requiring 1,775 plants to the acre; or four and a half feet apart each way, requiring
2,150 plants tothe acre. In garden culture plant four feet apart each way.

CUMBERLAND.

The berries of this variety are decidedly larger than those of any other blackcap raspberry that has yet appeared,
equaling good-sized blackberries. In fact, it is believed to have blackberry blood in its makeup. The large size of
its fruit, however, is by no means its only valuable property, for it is as beautiful and as good as it is large. In

: : : hardiness it is unrivaled, having endured un-
scathed a temperature of sixteen degrees
below zero, which severely damaged Gregg
and other popular varieties, and its canes are
remarkably strong, vigorous, and healthy,
and they are wonderfully prolific, yielding
enormous crops each year. The berries are
jet black, with but little of the objectionable
bloom of the Gregg. Very firm, equal the
best in quality, and, unlike other varieties of
blackeaps which are of greater breadth and
length, the berries of Cumberland are de-
cidedly greater in length than breadth, re-
sembling blackberries. In truth, the shape
of the berries, added to the fact ihat seedlings
of it produce plants with blackberry leaves,
has given rise to the belief that the variety is
partly of blackberry origin. Owing io its
great size, beauty, hardiness, vigor, and re-
markable productiveness, it has been termed
*“The Business Raspberry,” which title is
peculiarly appropriate. Its season of ripen-
ing is midseason.

In conversation with Professor Taft during
the recent meeting of THe AMERICAN Pomo-
LOGICAL Society, he said that he vegarded it
of the greatest value; excelling, in his opinion, all other varieties of the blackcap raspberry. I have by me similar
testimony from those most competent to judge. residing in different and widely separated parts of the land. Like
the Mersereau Blackberry, King taspberry, and Sample Strawberry, it is one of those varieties of sterling merit
which appear at rare intervals, and mark the exceptions tothe rule in novelties. Doz., 50c: 100, $3.00: 1000, $25.00.

is the very earliest; ripening with or before
Hansell or Marlboro, and much in advance of Phcenix

the last two named (there are none brighter or more
beautiful), and of the very best quality—fully equal-
ing the Cuthbert or Loudon in this respect, as well as
in size, aud is much firmer than either of those two
grand varieties. In productiveness it is equal to any red
Raspberry I have ever grown, and in vigorous growth
and hardiness of cane, as well as in the enduring prop-
erties of its foliage, it is not surpassed by the old
standard of excellence in cane, the Turner. I have

COLUMBIAN. A veritable giant in size of both
fruit and plant, the canes sometimes reaching a height
of from ten to twelve feet, perfectly hardy and literally
loaded with berries which, in general appearance, re-
semble those of Shaffer's Colossal, being of the same
large size, globular form, and deep purplish-red color,

It has proved of

and has yielded great

GOLDEN QUEEN. The best yellow raspberry ever
introduced and especially desirable for the home garden.
In all but color it is identical with Cuthbert, possessing

canes of equal vigor and even greater productiveness.
Berries are large, of a bright golden-yellow and of high
quality. Midseason. Doz., 35c; 100, $1.25; 1000, $8.00.

LOUDON. Excellent as this fine raspberry is, it yet
lacks the firmness of flesh and bright color essential to a
successful market berry such as is possessed by the King
and Miller raspberries. In size and quality it is very
fine indeed and is a splendid variety for the home garden
or the local market. The canes arestrong growers, with
bright, healthy foliage, exceedingly prolific and entirely
hardy. The berries are large and beautiful, dark crim-
son, not very firm, rich and juicy. Ripens shortly in
advance of Cuthbert. Doz., 40c; 100, $1.50; 1000, $12.00.

PHOENIX. Few surpass this as a general-purpose
berry where favorable conditions prevail. On rich soil
it thrives and produces fruit that is superb, but requires
generous treatment to be profitable. Its canes are vig-
orous, exceedingly prolific, with foliage that has never
been known to rust, blight, or scald. The berries are
large and globular, of a bright crimson color, firm,
meaty, and solid, with a pleasant sweet flavor. Early.
Doz., 35¢; 100, $1.50.

KANSAS (Cap). A splendid blackcap and a vast

improvement upon Gregg by reason of its greater
hardiness, less bloom, and earlier season of ripen-

ing. It is a profitable market sort and its handsome
appearance and fine flavor make it desirable for the
home garden. Berries as large as Gregg, firm, and of
fine quality. Its canes are of strong growth, entirely
hardy and prolific. Ripens about second early. Doz.,
35c; 100, $1.50; 1000, $10.00.

SOUHEGAN (Tyler)Cap. A well-known early mar-
ket blackcap having the merit of ripening its entire crop
within a short time. Berries medium to large, jet-black,
firm, sweet, and good. Canes robust, hardy, and ex-
ceedingly productive. Doz., 35c; 100, $1.25; 1000, $8.00.

TURNER (Southern Thornless). An old popular sort
of remarkable hardiness and great productiveness.
Berries medium to large, rather soft, sweet, and of fine
quality. Early. Doz., 35c; 100, $1.25; 1000, $8.00.

LOGAN BERRY.

This very unique and remarkable berry should
find a place in every garden. That ithas become
popular is an evidence of its merit, and the pecu-
liar combination of the Raspberry and Blackberry
in its make-up gives it an additional interest to
fruit-growers.

The berries are of great size—equaling large
blackberries, which they resemble in form and
structure, but are deep reddish-maroon in color.
In flavor it is rich and sprightly—a mingling of
the raspberry and blackberry, the raspberry pre-
dominating, mellowed and refined, yet distinct
from either—melting and without core. The fla-
vor is so luscious, novel, and rich the berry can-
not fail to please everybody as a dessert fruit.
For canning it is superior to all the other small
fruits, and for jellies and jams it is unequaled
also. The canes are of strong, vigorous growth,
semi-trailing in habit, and are clothed with an
abundance of large, dark green, leathery foliage.
What gives special value to this novel fruit is its
earliness—ripening as it does at the close of the
strawberry season, and in advance of all but the

very earliest raspberries—continuing each year to give ripe berries for three weeks.

Many kinds of blackberries will succeed, not only on good fruit land, but even on the most sandy, porous soils.
They require the same treatment as recommended for Raspberries, but in field culture should be planted in rows
from five to seven feet apart (according to the strength of the variety),
and three feet distant in the rows; in garden culture plant in rows five
} feet apart, and plant three feet distant in the rows. The pruning should
Y be governed by the growth of cane, and should be severe. Pinch back
the canes in summer when three feet high, which will cause them to throw
out laterals.

MERSEREAU.

The Greatest Small Fruit Acquisition of the Age.

It yields $1000.00

per acre per annum profit.

For twenty years I was in search of a blackberry with an ironclad cane, and producing large berries in abnn-
cance; one uniting the hardiness of cane of the Snyder and the large size of fruit and prodnctiveness of the Wilson.
Dozens and almost hundreds were received and tested by me during that time, but all were found wanting in one or
more of the requirements demanded, until 1 secured the Mersereau. In this we have even more than what I hoped

for; as it is not only hardier in cane than the iron-
clad Snyder and the berries are larger than those
of the Wilson, but it is more productive by far and
better in quality than either.

This early, mammoth, ironclad Blackberry origi-
nated in northwestern New York, where the mer-
cury falls from fifteen to twenty-five degrees below
zero, and where it has stood in open-tield culture
for many years without the slightest protection,
and has never been injured. It has never been af-
fected with orange rust, blight, or double or
“rose”? blossom.

The cardinal properties of the Mersereau are
great size, great hardiness of cane, and great pro-
ductiveness. But these are not its only merits. Its
size and form are best shown by the annexed en-
graving of a cluster made froma photograph. In
hardiness it is doubtless without an equal among
blackberries, having endured a temperature of
twenty degrees below zero and was not injured in
the least, even at the tips, although Snyder and
Taylor’s Prolific were much damaged. Just how
low a temperature it will withstand uninjured is
not known. The berries are sparkling black
throughout, and what adds great value to it, as a
market berry, it remains black under all conditions
and circumstances, never turning red after gath-
ered in hot, muggy weather, after the manner
of Snyder, Lawton, Erie, and many other varie-
ties. In quality it is exceptionally sweet. rich,
melting, and luscions, being withont core—the
seedy character of Snyder and most other ironclad
sorts being especially absent. As a shipper and
keeper it is unsurpassed, being firm and does not
**bleed” in handling. The canes are of exceed-
ingly strong, upright habit, attaining, upon fairly
good soil, a height of eight feet, if permitted to
grow unchecked, and are so stout as to remain
erect without staking; foliage large, abundant, and
entirely free from rust or blight. Its yield is sim-
ply enormous, affording heavy pickings from the
first until the cropis all matured. Its season is
early to midseason, ripening with the Snyder—
in advance of Kittatinny, Lawton, Taylor’s Pro-
lific, or Erie, but not so early as Early Harvest or
the Wilson.

It is not an untried variety, but one that has
been subjected to a thorongh and practical test in
field culture for nearly ten years, and has never
been injured by cold or anything else.

$1000.00 per acre per annnm is the record of
the Merserean; for it has yielded twelve thousand
quarts of berries per acre, which sold at an average
of ten cents per quart. Allowing two hundred

dollars for picking and marketing, the returns were a thousand dollars an acre.

The coming summer I will have two fields of this berry in bearing—one at Deal and one at Little Silver—and I hope
all who can do so will make it a point to come and see it in fruit.

Professor L. H. BarLey,. in BULLETIN 99, CORNELL UNIVERSITY EXPERIMENT STATION, says:

** Mersereau—Its advantages

over Snyder are its large size, less tendency to turn red after being picked, better quality, and a stronger habit. This variety
originated with J. M. Mersereau, Cayuga County, N. Y., for whom I am glad to name it.”’

GENERAL LIST OF BLACKBERRIES.

EARLY HARVEST. One of the most valuable and
profitable for market on account
of its extreme earliness. Ber-

form, of a bright, glossy black,
and of excellent quality.
While not of ironclad hardi-
ness it succeeds in all but very
cold sections, and a slight pro-
tection suffices for it there.
It is especially valuable for the
South and for the Pacific Coast,
where it thrives unusually well,
and it is a profitable early
variety everywhere except at
the Far North. Doz., 35c; 100,
$1.00; 1000, $6.00.

ELDORADO. Of unusually fine quality, rendering
it especially desirable for table use. It is an excellent
variety both in cane and fruit. The former are of iron-
clad hardiness, strong and productive, while the berries
are medium to large, glossy jet black, sweet, melting,

Gate

rich, and pleasant. Ripens about second early. Doz,
40c; 100, $1.50; 1000, $10.00.

KITTATINNY. A _ choice

variety, well known and once

very popular, but its lack

of hardiness at the North and
tendency to rust, in some loca-
tions, have caused it to be some-
what less in favor. It is-a
choice variety, however, espe-
cially for the home garden, with
large handsome berries of deli-
cious flavor; canes of strong,
erect growth, and very pro-
ductive under good culture.
Its fruit is so fine in appear-
ance and good in quality that
it pays well for extra culture.
Midseason to late. Doz., 40c;
100, $1.50; 1000, $10.00.
LAWTON. (New
wochelle.) A fine old favor-
ite, justly esteemed for its
choice large fruit and great
productiveness. It is of
strong, vigorous growth,
hardy, and succeeds over a
wide range of country. The
berries are large, of deli-
cious quality when fully
ripe, but turn black in ad-
vance of ripening and are
then acid. It is a reliable
cropper and valuable both
for market and for home

use. Midseason to late.
Doz., 40c; 100, $1.50; 1000,
$10.00.

LOVETT.

black, firm, and of superior quality.

The berries are large, roundish, jet
Canes of strong,
vigorous growth, and productive. It ripens early and
continues to bear until the close of the season. The
berries do not turn red after gathered in hot muggy
weather, as do those of many varieties. Doz., 40c; 100,
$1.50; 1000, $10.00.

MAXWELL. The berries are as large as Wilson’s
Early, glossy black, sweet, rich, and luscious, melting in
the mouth—no core whatev er. Canes exceedingly pro-
lific, strong and stocky, entirely free from rust and all
other disease. It ripens almost as early as Early Har-
vest and is superior to it in quality. Eyery home garden
should contain it for its early, finely flavored fruit.
Doz., 40c; 100, $1.25; 1000, $8.00.

SNYDER. A popular early sort for planting at the
North and North-

hardiness of cane
rendering it valu-
able for cold cli-
mates. It is very
productive, and
though the ber-
ries are but me-

fully ripe, are
without hard

1000, $8. 00.

TAYLOR’S PROLIFIC. Like
Snyder, of unusual hardiness of cane,
and, ripening later, it makes an ex-
cellent companion for it in cold loca-
tions, where hardiness is of more
importance than large size of berry.
The canes are of strong growth and ,
very prolific; berries of good size,
larger than Snyder, and exceedingly
sweet and rich. Midseason to late.
Doz., 40c; 100, $1.25; 1000, $8.00.

OHMER. Large, late. and profit- |
able. In both cane and fruit it is all
that can be desired; canes vigorous,
strong, hardy, and very productive,
with tough, healthy foliage. The
berries are large, jet black, glossy and attrasnees firm,
and of sweet, rich flavor, tender and good. Doz., 40c;
100, $1.50; 1000, $10.00.

WILSON’S EARLY (irve).
market variety still popular in
many localities for its fine
berries and earliness in ripen-
ing, but has become so badly
mixed and deteriorated that it
has been superseded by other
sorts. I have the true variety—
absolutely pure. The berries
are large, long, and of good
quality; canes slender, not very
hardy, but productive. A prof-
itable and _ desirable sort
where the winters are not too
severe. Doz., 50c; 100, $1.50:
1000, $10.00.

WILSON JUNIOR. Aseed-
ling of Wilson’s Early, and is
very like its parent in every way, uniting extra large
size, earliness, and productiveness with fine appearance
and superior shipping and keeping properties. Doz.,

LUCRETIA DEWBERRY.

It is incomprehensible to me why a fruit possessing so many valuable properties as the Lucretia Dewberry
should be so long in attaining general popularity with fruit-growers. I can account for the slow progress it has

made only by reason of its trailing habit, which has puzzled growers in the past to know how to keep its canes from

the ground and enable
the fruit to be readily
gathered ina neat and
tidy state. ‘This diffi-
culty is, however, read-
ily and cheaply accom-
plished by planting in
hills and staking the
plant. Since growers
have learned this, it
has been planted in
vast numbers in sey-
eral Western States and
in California, and for
the past three or four
years in the East; and
in every case it has
richly rewarded the
grower. The canes are
of vigorous growth,
with abundant foliage;
succeed upon ali kinds
of soil, are of ironclad
hardiness, free from
diseases and insect at-
tacks, and are exceed-
ingly prolific. The ber-
ries are of great size
(the engraving of a
single berry being that
of an average-sized one),
glossy black, and of su-
perb flavor. They also
ship and keep well.
What gives special valne
to the variety is its ear-
liness,—ripening, as_ it
does, in the gap _ be-
tween Strawberries and
Blackberries,—and the
berries are so large,
beautiful, and good
they always command a
high price. The proper
distance to plant is six

by six feet, putting two plants in a hill; although on thin land they may be planted with successful results as close
as four by four feet. ‘Trim back to four or five feet, according to the growth of canes, when tying up to the stakes in
spring. It needs no special culture beyond this, and will richly repay for a liberal supply of manure. Doz., 40c;

100, $1.25; 1000, 37.00.

AUSTIN DEWBERRY.

A stronger grower than Lucretia, but of like trailing habit. The berries are about

the same in size as those of Lucretia, but are shorter and broader, and ripen a week earlier, but are not so firm,
hence do not ship so well. This variety should not be planted closer than six by six feet. Doz., 40c; 100, $1.25: 1000,

$8.00.

The Dwarf Juneberry is
an excellent substitute
for the Swamp Whortle-
berry or Huckleberry, but
is of the easiest culture.
The frnit is borne in
clusters, reddish - purple
changing to _ bluish-black.
In flavor it is of a mild
sub-acid, excellent as a
dessert fruit or canned,
Extremely hardy. endur-
ing extremes of cold and
heat uninjured. In habit
it is similar to the cenr-
rant. The blossoms have
white petals and com-
pletely envelop the bnsh,
rendering it a white
mass when in bloom;
which, with its bright,
glossy, dark green foli-
age, renders it one of
the handsomest of orna-
mental shrubs,

SUCCESS JUNEBERRY. A superb variety, the
result of careful crossing, and a great improvement upon
all others; produced by Professor VanDeman. from whom
I purchased the entire stock. Perfectly free from dis-
ease, and exceedingly productive; fruit Jarge, beauti-
ful, delicious, rich, and full in flavor. Ea., 10c; doz.,
75¢c (by mail) ; 100, $4.00.

DWARF ROCKY MT. CHERRY.

An interesting and ornamental dwarf tree. It is of
very bushy habit of growth, rarely exceeding four feet in
height and so beautiful as to grace any lawn or garden.
In spring it produces a mass of beautiful white bloom,
and is as hardy as an oak. It is one of the most pro-
ductive of all fruits. beginning to bear at two years old,
and continuing to yield heavy annual crops every year.
The fruit is jet black, when fully ripe, of large size and
in quality somewhat like the sweet or Heart Cherries.
It ripens after all the other varieties of cherries are gone,
and a few bushes of it are always a welcome addition to
the home supply of fruit. Its dwarf habit, early bearing,
ease of culture, and the large size and beauty of the fruit
render it especially desirable for the family garden.
Two, and three years, well established, transplanted
plants, 114 to 2 ft. high. Ea., 20c; 3 for 50c; doz.,
$2.00.

under all conditions. 1 yr., doz., 75c; 100, $5.00. 2yrs..
doz., $1.00; 100, $7.00.

BLACK CHAMPION. A great improvement upon
the older varieties of the European Black Currant, being
much better in every way. Very large in both berry
and cluster, rich and good in quality, but milder and
with less of the strong odor peculiar to this species. The
bush is a strong vigorous grower anda heavy annual
bearer; like all black currants it is entirely free from all
insect pests.

BLACK NAPLES. Very hardy and reliable; es-
pecially valuable for Canada and other extreme Northern
points. Untila few years ago it was the leading black
currant, but has been superseded by better sorts.
Bunch and berry of large size, jet black and good qual-
ity, excellent for jams, etc.

CHERRY and VERSAILLES. Well known and
popular market sorts; uniformly the largest of all red
currants. Bunches large, berries very large, bright,
sparkling crimson, beautiful, but acid. Very sturdy and
thrifty growers, profitable for market for their large,
bright berries. The two varieties are so very much
alike that one description applies equally well to both.

FAY’S PROLIFIC. The leading red variety; a
regular bearer and reliable every way. The bush is a
strong grower, wonderfully prolific, and comes into bear-
ing early; bunches and berries large, bright red, of good
flavor, and less acid than Cherry. Midseason.

NORTH STAR. Possesses hardiness, vigorous
growth, early fruiting, and productiveness combined to
an unusual degree; therefore profitable for market grow-
ing and no less desirable for the family garden. In both
bunch and berry the fruit is large, of bright crimson
color, very beautiful, and extra fine in quality.

RED DUTCH. An old favorite, justly esteemed for
the fine quality of its fruit, which, though small as com-
pared with some other varieties, is borne very abun-
dantly and is the best of all for making jelly, wine, etc.
The size of the fruit may be considerably increased by
giving rich soil, clean culture, and intelligent pruning.

VICTORIA. The best late red variety. A strong,
healthy grower and very productive. The bunches are
long, well filled with medium to large berries, pale red in
color, and of excellent quality. Its lateness in ripening
makes it valuable for market and desirable everywhere
for succeeding the other red varieties and thus lengthen-
ing the season of currants.

WHITE GRAPE. The largest and decidedly the

best pure white variety. It isacurrant that of all others
should be in the family garden, not only for its hand-
some appearance, but for its superior quality. Its
bunches are long, berries large, of a beautiful translu-
cent white, and excellent flavor. A strong grower and,
under good culture, very productive. For table use,
when mixed with the bright sparkling red fruit of other
varieties, it presents a most beantiful and appetizing
appearance.

CAMPBELL’S EARLY.

The finest grape that has been produced in a long time
and probably the greatest acquisition thus far achieved
in hardy grapes. Its strong, hardy, vigorous growth;
thick, heavy, healthy foliage; very early ripening, and
abundant bearing of large and handsome clusters of
most excellent quality, combined with remarkable keep-
ing and shipping properties, form a combination equaled
by no other grape. Cluster large, shouldered, moder-
ately compact; berry large, nearly round, black with
profnse bloom, skin thin but very tenacions, flesh very
tender and juicy, flavor sweet, rich, aromatic, with deli-
cate aroma; seeds small and part readily from the flesh,
so easily indeed that persons need never swallow them.
Its season is early—ripening with Moore’s Early, but
remains on the vine along time. The vines are uncom-
monly hardy, having endured eighteen degrees below
zero without any protection and were not injured in the
least. There is every indication that it will prove to be
the best black grape at present known. 1 yr. ea., 25c:

COLUMBUS, An American Gooseberry possessing
all the merits essential to successful growth in this
climate: vigor and strong vitality of plant, and large,
clean, healthy foliage, while the fruit is so large,
abundant, and fine as to prove immensely profitable in
market. The berries are oval in form, smooth, and

The peach of all others to plant for family use. The

remarkable feature about it is its long-continned bearing
period; beginning to ripen early in July and producing
sticcessive crops until the beginning of September, when
fruit in all stages of development is upon the tree.
The long period of blossoming, too, is another valuable
feature, since it prevents a complete failure of the crop,
as often happens to other varieties, from late frosts.

PEACHES. |

Plant 18 feet apart each way—134 trees per acre; on sandy soil, 15 feet apart—193 trees per acre.

The best soil for peaches is a sandy loam, and trees should not be planted upon soil where
the water stands near or upon the surface.
All side branches should be cut back to within a few inches
of the main stem, the latter being severe1 at about two-thirds the distance from the ground,
The after culture is simple, being merely to keep the surface always mellow and free of weeds.
Unleached wood ashes and pure ground bone are the proper fertilizers for the peach, and ate
best applied broadcast in spring and harrowed in.

Plant no deeper than the trees stood in the nurs-

All varieties are freestones.

S and tapering toa point at the apex; flesh white. veined

with red near the skin, tender, very juicy, vinous, and

size, those of the first ripening are large—about 314
inches by 3 inches broad; the second and succeeding
crops diminish gradually in size until the last ripen-
ing are about 2 inches in diameter. This unique vari-
ety has been fully tested for the past five years, and
its great value and long season of fruiting fully estab-
lished. A single tree that will give a supply of fine
juicy peaches in succession for nearly three months
is indeed an acquisition. 1st c., ea., 25c; doz., $2.50.

An improvement in several ways upon Mountain Rose,
of which it is a seedling, ripening just after Hale’s
Karly and before Troth. It resembles its parent very
much in general appearance and possesses all its good
qualities; but isa much better shipper and ripens con-
siderably earlier. It is not an untested novelty, but one
that has been fruited for several years with great profit,
and should, on account of its great merit and extreme
earliness, be planted everywhere. Ist c., ea., 25e; doz.,

LINCOLN.

Of the European family, and decidedly the finest
Plum of its class—enormous in size, showy in appear-
ance, delicious in quality, excessive in bearing. It is
the largest in size of all hardy plums, average speci-
mens measuring 214g inches long and over 6 inches
around; weighing over two ounces—the finest in qual-
ity of any plum we have ever tested, wonderfully
prolific, the plums hanging like ropes of onions upon
the branches; beautiful in form and color, very early in
ripening, and curculio-proof, in so far that the stings of
the insect do not seem to affect it injuriously. In color
it is a reddish purple, with a delicate bloom, very bright,
showy, and attractive; flesh light yellow or amber, ex-
ceedingly juicy, rich, sweet, melting, and luscious—en-
tirely free from any coarseness or toughness—parting
freely from the stone. It ripens from the first to the

LOVETT (Fourth of July Plum)

The most luscious of all plums. and undoubtedly by far
the most valuable of its class. It is seldom thatso many
distinct and valuable properties are united in a single
variety. First, itis of great value by reason of its ex-
treme earliness—ripening at Monmouth from July Ist to
15th—long in advance of any other plum, amd justly en-
titling it to the appellation Fourth of July,° Second, by
reason of its superior quality, surpassing the Abundance
and all other plums in cultivation. Thir@dysby reason of
its superior keeping and shipping properties; wever rot-
ting till long after fully ripe, and equaling an apricot as
a shipper and keeper. Fourth, as a cropper it is un-
paralleled; yielding enormous crops every year. Fifth,
it is practically curculio-proof. The plums are bright
red, deepening to maroon next the sun, with ight blue
bioom; round, slightly ovate, with an indistinct suture,
144 to 2 inches long by 14¢ to 184 inches thick, and so
highly perfumed when fully ripe that a handful of them
will fill a whole room with their fragrance. Flesh yel-

has no superior in the home garden, and is the best
early variety. Its rieh golden-yellow color, its close

PAUL ROSE. Previous to the in-

no salmon-fleshed muskmelon thatis a
first-class shipper and keeper. These
two important properties are possessed by
this variety toa remarkable degree. Then,

lar NETTED GEM in productiveness, aud
every one of the melons is a good one.
The melons are of good size, though not
of the largest, very uniform, rich light
green, with faint golden hue when fully
ripe, slightly ribned and heavily netted;
fiesh salmon color, extra thick, owing to
its very small seed cavity, of splendid
quality, delicious, and sweet. I know of
no variety that will remain so vigorous
and healthful throughout the season as
this. It is unsurpassed for the family
garden and a sure money-maker for the
market gardener. My seed is of my own

PEDRICK PERFECT GOLDEN BEAUTY. A great

improvement upon GOLDEN i
Braury ; heretofore the most
desirable and profitable field
corn in cultivation. In addi-
tion to being a sure cropper,
it gives the heaviest yield of
any variety of yellow corn
that has yet appeared. 'The
ears are very large and are
invariably well filled out to
the end of the cob, with 12 to
16 rows of extra large, bright,
golden-yellow kernels, as
shown in the _ illustration.
The cob is remarkably small ;
so much so that a bushel of
ears will yield alarger meas-
ure of shelled corn than will
any other variety, which,

The kernels adhere firmly to ‘=@qjem=

their cob, yet can be shelled
readily. The stalks attain a |
height of from 8 to 10 feetand G&
stand firmly in the ground.
In fact, they are so rigid they
seldom blow down or become
lodged, and resist dreught
better than any other. Unlike
most other heavy yielding
varieties, the PEDRICK PER-

early and can therefore be

GRAND VIEW LAWN GRASS SEED.

Success or failure in lawn-making depends very
largely upon the quality of the grass seed employed
in making it, and of what the mixture is composed.
In order to produce a perfect lawn it is absolutely
necessary to obtain good seeds of the grasses best
adapted to the purpose, mixed in correct propor-
tions. This Iam prepared to furnish in my Grand
View Lawn Grass Mixture, which is the result of
over twenty years’ observation and practical ex-
perience in lawn-making and which may be con-
fidentiy relied upon to quickly produce a dense,
smooth turf, presenting at all times a healthy, rich
color, and one that will endure the heat and
drought of our most tryingsummers. Forrenovat-
ing old lawns and those that have become thin in
places, it will be found very successful also. I be-
lieve it to be the best possible lawn mixture for our
American soil and climate, and it has always given
the greatest satisfaction wherever used. It is com-
posed of the best fancy grades of recleaned seed of
all the grasses employed. I do not offer any so-
called ‘‘cheap”’ or low-priced mixture, as {i believe
that the best is always the cheapest, and I there-
fore offer the one grade only. Please note, how-
ever, that I give more seed for the money than
can be obtained elsewhere. In most of the lawn
mixtures the weight is but fifteen pounds to the
bushel, a large portion of which is chaff. I give
TWENTY POUNDS to the bushel, of puretiigh grade
seeds.

The quantity required for seeding a new lawn, for
best and quickest results, is five bushels per acre; for renewing old lawns, one to three bushels, according to number of thin
places. One quart willsow 15 by 20 feet or 300 square feet, or one pint is sufficient for renewing same area.

Full directions for laying down new lawns, and for renovating old ones, will. be sent with each shipment of seed. Box
(enough for 400 square feet), 25c; Two BOXEs, of one quart each, 40c, by mail. PrEcK, $1.25; BUSHEL (20Ibs.), $4.00.

GRAND VIEW GOLF GRASS SEED.

_ The most important feature of a Golf. Links is the sward. Tobe right it must be composed of grasses that will remain
bright green and soft during the hottest and dryest weather, and those that are absolutely hardy in winter as well. They must be
so mingled as to give a tough and enduring turf; and, above all, the varieties of grasses employed must be such as will most
quickly produce the sort of sward described. To meet these requirements I have given the subject of lawn-producing for Golf
Links and Polo Grounds much study; my researches and experiments resulting in the mixture I am selling under the name of
“Grand View Golf Grass.”

This mixture has given the most thorough satisfaction wherever used, producing a dense, tough, soft, bright green turf in
from six to eight weeks from time of seeding; and I take great pleasure in offering it, knowing that it supplies the need of the
hour in Golf Grass Seeds. It weight is eighteen pounds per bushel.

Forty-two days from seeding the Links of the Deal Golf Club, at Deal, N. J., with Grand View Golf Grass Seed, the turf
was firm and strong, permitting of mowing with horse mower without the least indentation being made in the surface. It
remained bright emerald-green throughout the summer and autumn, although at times other grass plots and lawns were sere
and brown by reason of excessive heat and drought. Bushel, $2.50. Special rates on large lots. — -

LOVETT’S TERRACE MIXTURE. This is composed of the grasses which will most quickly produce a rich, deep green

-LOVETT’S SPECIAL MIXTURE, FOR PERMANENT GRASS.

Will Last Twenty Years Without Renewal.

Good pasture land is the fountain of riches uponafarm. The grasses nécessary for the largest crops of hay and the best
permanent pasture are in this mixture; blended in the proper proportions to produce a rich and profitable meadow for years.
This mixture is made up of Orchard Grass and a number of the best perennial grasses; is quick to “take” aud sure to givea
heavy yield of sweet, nutritious hay. A field seeded with this mixture can be cut twice in a season, producing under ordinary
conditions two tons of superior hay to the acre the first cutting, and oneanda half tons thesecond. All of the seeds are of the best
quality. Sow 3% bushels to the acre. The price of this special mixture of Permanent Grass is—peck, 75c; bushel (15 Ibs.), $2.50.

I supply also a suitable mixture of Clovers (which on account of their heavier weight should be sown separately), 101bs.,—
sufficient to sow an acre,—35c per lb., by mail; one bushel permanent grass, with 3 Ibs. clover (separate) $3.00. :

CRIMSON CLOVER. One of the most important crops in
existence—most valuable for enriching all lands that have
been heavily cropped. It is one of the most rapid-growing
plants we have. If cut before it comes into full bloom it

Plowed under it will equal the best barnyard manure, and is
more lasting than any commercial fertilizer. There are several

clean and cheerful, assuming, when fully exposed to the sun
and wind, a bronze-red color, forming a charming and ef-
fective background for the mass of brilliant, coral-like flowers.
In partial shade the beautiful glossy foliage is a rich, dark
green. They grow readily from seed, and the plants, if
taken up in antumn, potted, and bronght indoors, will continue
to flower freely all winter.

NEVER-FAIL PANSIES.

Its modest habit, freedom of )loom, and the rich and
varied colors of its flowers have caused the Pansy to be-
come a general favorite among flower lovers. Every-

in raising them, Pansies are easily grown, if good seed
is procured, and givena sheltered location. My Never-

specialist who has devoted many years to growing Pansy
seed. It possesses great vigor and hardiness and will
produce flowers of mammoth size and almost every
imaginable color. The colors are rich and pure, while
the markings are always distinct and clearly defined.
What adds special value to this strain is the fact they can
be depended upon to come true to color and markings.

SALVIA—Flowering Sage.

SILVERSPOT. A handsome new Salvia, very unique and
distinctive by reason of its exceedingly beautiful spotted
foliage, which is very abundant, bright, and healthy. The
leaves are of arich deep green, with sulphur or cream-colored
spots of various sizes scattered liberally over them with very
pleasing effect, as shown in illustration. The flowers are
large, in long spikes, intense bright scarlet; plant compact
and a profuse bloomer. It is a variety of the well-known
Salvia Splendens or Scarlet Sage, and 85 per cent. of the seed
produce plants with the elegantly spotted foliage. Pkt., of
20 seeds, 25c.

blooming very much earlier and with greater freedom. The
spikes of bloom are numerous and very large; and are so thickly
clothed with the brilliant scarlet flowers as to fairly bend
_beneath their weight. The dark-green foliage and profuse
vivid bloom present a combination of color that is very attract-
ive, and the flowering is incessant until checked by frost.
Pkt, 10c: 3 for 25c.

CLARA BEDMAN (Bonfire). Compact in form, with long,
stiff, erect spikes of brilliant scarlet flowers in immense num-
bers, all over the plant so as to completely hide the foliage,
creating a gorgeous display of color. It presents a most
dazzling effect when massed upon the lawn or in beds, and is
of great value for planting with dark-foliaged plants for con-
trast, and comes into flower much earlier than the old Scarlet
Salvia. Pkt., 10c; 3 pKts. for 25c.

DWARF SWEET-SCENTED
SNAPDRAGONS.

These Snapdragons mark one of the greatest advances in
floriculture that has ever been made. They are of a wide range
of color, from pure snow-white to deep garnet, with intermedi-
ate shades of scarlet, pink, and blush—some being exquisitely
striped and blended with two or more colors—and the colors,
in all cases, are clear, strong.and pure. The individual flowers
are beautiful, unique, and interesting in structure and are large
in size, produced on well-filled spikes, a foot in length, and are
very lasting; either cnt or upon the plant; rendering them of
the greatest value for cutting. In fragrance they are sweet,
slightly aromatic, and pleasant—a perfume unlike that of any
other flower; much more decided and lasting than Sweet Peas,
and approaching Mignonette. Best of all, they are of the
easiest culture, and the plants begin blooming when only a few
inches high, and continue in the greatest profusion thronghout
the entire summer and antnumn, until the ground freezes at the
approach of winter, when they can be lifted, potted and brought
indoors for winter bloom—continuing to flower as they will
until spring. The habit of the plant is correctly shown in the
illustration; being dwarf and exceedingly free-flowering, and
they are extremely rngged and hardy, enduring extremes of
heat and cold, excessive rains and protracted drought, with
impunity. See illustration.

SELECT SWEE! PEAS:

Recent improvements have so developed this popular flower that the new varieties”
are equaled in delicacy and purity of color only by the aristocratic Orchid.
varieties is almost innumerable, and every year adds more; hence I offer here a very
select assortment, only embracing the finest and most distinct varieties—all of =
which are of exquisite colors, perfect in form, delightful in fragrance, profuse in

bloom (bearing three or four flowers on a stem,
gracefully arranged); and such as will prove a
fountain of delight to all who plant them. The
Sweet Pea is truly the people’s flower—the annual
for the ‘“‘ million ’’; so easily grown, so excessively
floriferous, so sweet and beautiful. Sow them
abundantly, sow them everywhere: they are un-
equaled for cutting, and the more they are cut the
longer and more freely will they flower.

dark coloring and fine form of bloom. Flowers of good size,
with rich wine-brown standard heavily veined a still darker

purple. Like the other Cupid varieties it is very dwarf and
spreading and excessively free-flowering. Pkt., 25c; half-pkt.,
15¢,

PINK CUPID. Wonderfully free-flowering, bearing from
3 to 4 blossoms on a stem, during a long season, flowering early
and continuing until very late. Flowers very large, of shell-

BEAUTY CUPID (New). Handsome, large flowers, fully
equal in size, form, and substance to the best of the new tall
Sweet Peas, borne most profusely over the entire plant, in
clusters of three at the top of strong stems. The standards are
of a delicate rose-color shading to nearly white at the edges
and faintly striped with carmine at the base; the wings are
rosy carmine, deepening at the edges. Of uncommon beauty
and bears its flowers unceasingly throughout the season. Pkt.,

tints. The standards are of a rich creamy-white, suffused with
delicate flesh-pink; the wings silvery-white, with faint pink

in clusters of three. A charming variety. Pkt., 5c; oz., 20c.

JAPANESE IRIS.—Iris Kaempferii.

The Japanese Iris is quite distinct from all the other
species and is the most beautiful. The flowers are of
most fantastic shape and of immense size, often exceed-
ing eight inches in diameter. They present a remarka-
ble variety of color, ranging from ivory-white through

IMPERIAL JAPANESE IRIS.

In the new varieties here offered will be found bloom
so magnificent as to surpass by far all varieties that have
hitherto been grown of these truly marvelous and gor-
geous flowers. As far as possible, the Japanese retain
the choicest of their flowers in their own country, but
some eight or nine years ago I was so fortunate as to se-
cure the entire collection of a friend, who was at the
time Professor of Horticulture in the Imperial College of
Japan. I have grown and propagated them until I have
now a sufficient stock to offer them. I have many varie-
ties, but name here only a few of the finest. The rich-
ness of color, exquisite forms and markings of the
flowers, added to their great size, and the wonderful
profusion with which they are produced, are such as to
render impossible any adequate description. I therefore
simply give, in a few words, the general make-up of the
different varieties.

A. L. SHERWOOD. Three petals; purple veined with
white, yellow at base of petals: large.

DAGMAR GEORGESON. Indigo-blue, netted white.

Popular, showy, flowering shrubs of the easiest cul-
ture. ‘Their large, double, bright-colored flowers, pro-
duced freely during August and September, resemble

useful for forming screens or planting for hedges, and
especially valuable for lawn and border, as they bloom
profusely when few other shrubs are in flower.

foliage is remarkable for retaining the brilliancy of its
rich, golden-yellow hue throughout the summer, even

ROSES.

The popularity of the Rose, ever increasing, has led to the
introduction of so many new varieties that the number of Roses
catalogued throughout the country is almost endless, embarrassing
and bewildering the amateur in his efforts to select such as are
suitable to his needs. Those who do not make a study of Roses are
very likely to select from these long lists
offered some varieties that will prove of <O
indifferent merit with them or which may “@gAge
be afflicted with some fatal weakness or
defect. Although I grow a long list of
varieties myself, and can supply many
more than here offered, I have (to save
my patrons annoyance and expense) cata-
logued here only selections of the best
varieties of their classes, confining the
lists to those which I know to be reliable
in plant and beautiful in bloom. In brief,
I may say that the varieties I offer consti-
tute the cream of the entire list of Roses
of all kinds and classes.

climbing Rose of strong vigorous habit and rapid growth, producing in marvelous profusian, large pyramidal
clusters of bright crimson, semi-double flowers of great substance, which remain a long time and retain their
brilliant color until they fall. Its free-flowering propensity is so great as to seem almost incredible. A single bush
has been known to have upon it, at one time, more than 5000 flowers and buds, and on one single shoot alone
have been counted more than 300 perfect blooms./’ It is entirely hardy without protection, and its abundant
dark green glossy foliage, which remains healthy and clean through the summer, renders it attractive at all times.
A splendid variety for covering walls, verandas, pillars, etc., being so vigorous in growth as to make shoots from
eight to ten feet, during the season ; or it may be pegged down or grown in bush form with rich and striking effect.
It is also very handsome and interesting asa pot plant. Its profusion of bloom is simply astonishing, producing a
perfect blaze of rich color and remaining in flower for nearly or quite a month. Everyone should grow it.

All of them possess the deliciously scented foliage and
strong, vigorous growth of the Sweet Briar, and are
absolutely hardy; the flowers are single, of the most
beautiful tints, and are produced in great profusion;
presenting the delightful odor and the numerous golden

LOVETT’S NEW CANNAS.

(Shown in natural colors upon next page.)

The Cannas described on this page, except the Mrs. Hisele, were, after careful testing, selected as the
most beautiful and useful—in a word, as the Jest—from more than five thousand hybrids produced by Dr.
Walter Van Fleet, the most successful hybridizer of flowers in America. All of them are remarkable, not
only for eurly and continuous blooming, great freedom of flowering, large size and good form of both flower and
Slower truss, beauty and brilliancy of color, but equally so for the beauty and enduring properties of foliage.

Crimson Bedder is destined to soon occupy the same position and attain the same popularity among
beddiug Cannas as has the Grant Geranium among Geraniums in the past, and solely by reason of its
intrinsic merit. There is no other Canna (in fact, no other flower) that approaches it in value for bedding
purposes. <A few hundred plants of it, planted with other varieties of the Canna the past summer, pro-
duced a display so truly gorgeous and marvelous as to call forth exclamations of amazement and profound
admiration from almost every one of the thousands who passed by the nursery. The J. T. Lovett is well-
nigh as valuable for massing as is the Crimson Bedder for bedding. Golden Bedder is the purest in color of
all the yellow varieties of the Canna, except Austria, and is unrivaled as a bedding variety of its color, by
reason of its dwarf habit, freedom of flowering, and early blooming. Leopard is a most unique variety,
and the Mrs. Eisele is the daintiest in color of all varieties that have thus far appeared, and is exceeded only

by the J. T. Lovett in the grandeur of its foliage.

CRIMSON BEDDER.

Of compact habit, three feet in height, with abundant
deep green foliage; narrowly banded with brouze—
always clean and fresh, and withstanding high winds
and all kinds of weather perfectly. Florets large and
open, held in a large, compact truss; bright, glowing
crimson, aud borne in such masses as to produce a veri-
table blaze of color. It sheds or cleans itself of faded
flowers as well as the popular Alphonse Bouvier and
Chas. Henderson, and is the*aspliest blooming and the
Jreest blooming variety yet produced.
very like that model of perfection in flower, the Fla-
mingo (one of its parents), in color, size, and form of both
flower and truss; with the habit of Chas. Henderson
(which it surpasses in foliage), and is an exceedingly
early and free bloomer.

GOLDEN BEDDER.

What is said of Crimson Bedder applies to this va-
riety, except it is still dwarfer in habit (2ig ft.);
the foliage is light-green in color, is smaller, as are
also its florets, which are a bright golden-yellow
throughout, except a trace of red at base of the small
lower petal. It is the freest and earliest bloomer of
its color yet produced, aud is a perfect companion for
Crimsou Bedder.

J.T. LOVETT.

The nearest approach to perfection in foliage of any
Canna I have yet seen, rivaling in beauty a Banana.
Unlike this very decorative plant, its leaves may almost
be compared to leather in strength and ability to with-
stand high winds. In very truth, I have never known
a leaf of it to be torn, blistered, or otherwise damaged
by wind, rain, or sun. So enduring is it that the ground
or first leaves produced upon the plants remain clean,
bright, and- perfect until. the-gronnd freezes in autumn
—something I have not seen in any other variety.
Color of foliage is rich, deep olive-green throughout;
height, five feet. Florets very large and long, set in a

In brief, it is |

loose, open, drooping cluster, after the manner of the
once popular Ehemanii—the seed-bearing pareut—but
in color are a rich crimson-lake, and are freely pro-
duced early, late, and all the time. For graceful habit,
exquisite foliage, and for effect in massing, it is without
an equal.

LEOPARD.

An extremely stocky grower, attaining a height of
four feet, with massive foliage of a glaucous, shimmer-
ing green, and producing a veritable mass of large,
compact trusses of very large, open flowers, which are
bright canary-yellow, broadly blotehed and spotted
with rich reddish-chocolate, suggesting at a glance the
name given it. It is among the earliest and freest
bloomers, and the foliage is large and Musa-like in form
and color. An exceedingly unique and very distinct
variety, equally valuable for massing or planting singly
or for vases, tubs, ete.

MRS. BISELE.

Produced by W. G. Eisele of Long Branch, N. J., who
has devoted many years of time and study to the
hybridizing of the Canna and growing seedlings from
hybrids and crosses of the best varieties in cultivation of
it. Of the thousands of varieties produced and flow-
ered by him, many of which are of great beauty,
this is the most valuable. It is of vigorous growth,
attaining a height of six to eight feet, with abundant,
very large, light-green leaves, as tough as a Ficus, and is
a most prolific bloomer of bright, cheerful, salmon-pink
jlowers, eutirely unlike in color any other variety. The
florets are extra large, held upright, and widely ex-
panded, and the trusses are large and full: in fact, so
full that I have counted as many as twelve to fifteen
side shoots in a single truss. Its ability to withstand
high winds, its free-blooming propensity, and the size and
beauty of its flowers, added to its attractive and novel
color, render it of untold value. I have purchased the
entire stock.

Believing the time for fancy prices for new Cannas has passed, I have put the prices of these grand
varieties low enough to permit of their being liberally used for bedding and massing at once—not some years

hence—viz.:

Each, 30c; dozen, $3.00; 100, 520.00.
For $1.00 I will send one each of any four; or for $1.25 one each of the entire set of five, by mail if preferred.
