Please Help Us To Serve You Right By Reading This
Page With Care!
HOW TO ORDER.—Order early. Small favors thankfully received always, but we cannot
undertake to fill an crder of less amount than one dollar, as the cost of recording and filling
it would exceed the small profit of same. Kindly 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. Be particular to state how the goods are to be shipped; whether by mail, express or
freight, and state plainly to what point goods are to be sent. Keep a correct copy of the order
and check off the plants, etc., when they arrive. People sometimes forget what they have or-
dered and make unjust complaint. Ladies will oblige us by prefixing their names with “Miss”
-or “Mrs.,” as the case may be. 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 any order, but we cannot promise to do so. During the rush of the shipping sea-
son, when many 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 may be considered final without
our written consent. ;
SUBSTITUTION.—It is our custom, should the supply of a variety become exhausted
(which occasionally occurs in all nurseries), to substitute in its stead a similar sort, properly
labeled, of course. When it is desired that we shall not do this, it must be so stated in the order.
To simply affix the words “No Substitution” is all that is necessary.
GUARANTEE.—We warrant our stock true to name, with the explicit understanding
that should any prove untrue, we will return the money paid or replace it with other
stock; but we are not liable for damage beyond this. A sure indication of the purity of
our stock is the fact that customers of former years continue to deal with us. Certificate
of inspection is attached to each shipment.
PACKING is: executed with the utmost care. Special pains are taken to pack lightly, there-
by reducing the expense of transportation to a minimum. All goods at prices quoted are packed
‘free. Everything is labeled.
SHIPPING.—We deliver all goods to forwarders here without charge, after which our con-
trol ceases; consequently our responsibility also. We particularly caution patrons against order-
ing Perennial Plants and Strawberry Plants shipped by freight; they should always go by
. express, or in small lots by mail. Transportation charges on all goods shipped by freight or
“express are to be paid by the purchaser, unless arranged otherwise. .
ALL CANADIAN SHIPMENTS, either by express or mail, must be prepaid. Customers
will oblige us, therefore, by adding sufficient funds to cover this item.
SHIPMENTS BY PARCEL POST.—Many plants offered can be shipped to advantage by
parcel post; especially to nearby points. On inside back cover page will be found a table of
rates and of weights of such things as may be forwarded by mail, by which patrons are enabled
to determine the cost for postage. In ordering shipment by parcel post, please do not omit to
send the proper amount to cover cost of stamps, together with cost of insurance.
TERMS.—Payment should be made at time of ordering or before shipment. We prefer
to make no shipment C.O.D., but will, when requested, ship in this way, provided twenty-five
_per cent. of the amount of an order is sent with the order, with return charges added. Kindly
remit by Postal Money Order, Registered Letter, Draft, or Express Money Order. Please do
not ask us to open accounts for less than $10.00 orders.
Prices in this catalog cancel previous quotations. The prices quoted are for the quan-
tities specified, but six, fifty or five hundred of a variety will be supplied at dozen, hundred,
and thousand rates respectively. Hundred lots may not be made up at hundred rates of less
than fifty of a variety; and thousand lots may not be made up at thousand rates of less than
five hundred of a variety.
CLAIMS, if any, should 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. We send out only good stock in good condition, care-
fully packed, in all cases; but success or failure depends in so large a degree upon the care
and management after received, that we do not, because we cannot, undertake to guarantee
stock to live.
WE ISSUE 3 CATALOGS EACH YEAR.—This Spring Guide, the Midsummer List of
Pot-grown Strawberry Plants and a Fall catalog are sent free to all customers on record.
If service rendered you has pleased you, we shall be delighted to have you say a good word
about it to others.

“The land
that produces

duce noble men and women.”
re RISTOTLE was one of the wisest men of ancient Greece. In the state-
_ | ment quoted above he voices the fundamental truth that a nation which
=| takes gardening seriously is headed toward great accomplishments.
Throughout the ages, wherever gardening and fruit growing have been practised,
there have arisen civilizations far outlasting those founded on conquest. And we,
here in America, can contribute much to world progress by making and cultivating
more gardens and still more gardens!
When comparing present-day garden-making opportunities with those of
fifty, yes, of twenty-five years ago, we cannot help being impressed with the
progress made. To-day, throughout this land of-ours, earnest men and women
have developed into specialists in the providing of plant material for greater
gardens. It is with pardonable pride, perhaps, that this nursery looks back upon
almost half a century of progressive service to America. From the very start,
the founder of this business specialized in Small Fruits; and “Lovett’s for Small
Fruits” has become a slogan esteemed for a service that covers a continent.
As the years rolled by, this service broadened. We are now recognized
headquarters for Small Fruits of all quality kinds, Roses (especially climbers),
hardy Perennials, Hedge Plants, etc. We request the privilege of serving those
who desire a superior plant product, delivered through service above the ordinary.

The Choicest STRAWBERRIES and How to Grow Them
~All varieties of Strawberries give the greatest
yield and the largest berries, when grown in rich
soil; hence, no pains should be spared in preparing
the bed carefully before planting, by digging or
plowing deeply and turning under a liberal sup-
ply of well-rotted manure. Pulverize the
surface soil thoroughly with harrow or rake
and, if a top dressing of ground bone is ap-
plied, it will be found a great benefit at fruit-
ing time.
For hill culture in the family garden, plant
in rows two feet apart and the plants a foot
apart in the rows, cutting off all runners as
they appear. If to be allowed to grow in
matted rows, set the plants in rows three
feet apart and the plants one foot apart in
the rows.
For field culture, to be cultivated with
horse and hoe harrow, plant in rows three
and a half feet apart and the plants one foot
apart in the rows, requiring 12,445 plants
per acre.
All the varieties offered have perfect flowers,
hence do not need the association of any other
variety in order to be fruitful.
Save Time, Gain Crops, by Starting Your Patch With
POT-GROWN Strawberry Plants
Pot-grown plants of the type we supply, as
illustrated on opposite page, practically save a
year’s time. Lovett’s Pot-grown Strawberry
Plants are vigorous young specimens grown in
pots, and shipped with earth about the well-
developed roots. Such plants will take hold at
once, make a thrifty growth and bear a liberal
crop of nice berries the first season, which, of
course, cannot be expected. from ordinary field-
grown plants.
Many gardeners, both professional and ama-
teur, now use pot-grown plants almost exclu-
sively, because they stand as a guarantee against
the loss of the plant, besides eliminating the
necessity of waiting for the crop. Of course,
the crop the first season is never so heavy as
it will be during subsequent seasons.
Our stock of pot-grown strawberry plants
was never better and we again offer that kind
of a plant product that has made the name
“Lovett” a by-word for quality in Small Fruits.
We are Well Prepared to fill your orders.
Here, at Little Silver, we grow each year ap-
proximately half a million pot-grown plants
and rare, indeed, are the instances in which
these plants do not measure up to the highest
expectations and produce complete satisfaction.
Not only have we learned how to grow them
well, but we also know how to pack them in
such a way that they will reach their destina-
tion in perfect shape. We have shipped to the
Pacitic Coast to the thorough satisfaction of
those who had faith enough to order them
from us.
Special quotations to those interested in ex-
ceptional quantities. Varieties that can be sup-
plied in pot-grown plants are named at the
head of the different classes.

The EVERBEARING Strawberries
and Their Advantages
The Everbearing varieties of Strawberries, °fre-
quently termed ‘Fall-bearing,”’ have decided merit.
Fortunately, practically all of them are excellent in
quality and give a heavy crop of fruit in June as well
as a good crop in late summer and autumn.
In order to be assured of a heavy fall crop, it is
best to remove, as they appear, all blossoms until
the first or middle of July. Aside from removing the
blossoms by hand picking, the culture of these
autumn-bearing varieties is the same as of other
Strawberries, as set forth on page 2.
Upon moist, fertile land, our plants of these
Fall-bearing Strawberries give
sweet, ripe berries the same sea-
son they are planted. This holds
particularly true of the pot-grown
plants offered above. We ad-
vise “hill culture’ (done by clip-
ping off all the runners soon af-
ter they appear, thus restricting
the growth to the parent plants)
for best results with these va-
rieties.

the now famous Van Fleet hybrids and
the everbearing variety, Progressive. We
named it Lovett’s All Season because for
the first time we have a truly everbearing
variety, truly bearing all season. It be-
gins in June, and even if the June
crop were all one could expect of
this variety, it would be a most
remarkable acquisition.
But June just opens its season.

of no other variety that will pro-

berries shown on opposite page. Its habit
of continuous bearing is partly illustrated
by the cluster alongside.

ADVANCE.—Compared with the other va-
rieties, Advance most resembles the Superb,
but produces larger berries, and the plants are
better growers and more prolific. The berries
are deep crimson, nearly round, of good size,
quite uniform in size and shape, of firm, meaty
texture, and of good quality. Dozen, 75c.; 100,
$3.50.
CHAMPION EVERBEARING.—Apparent-

respects, though it is much more productive and
the fruit is larger. With us, this past season it
“behaved” much better than “Lucky Boy,” which

the most trying seasons last year, long periods
of drought making life a trial for all Straw-
berries, Champion Everbearing came through
with flying colors. Dozen, 75c.; 100, $3.50.
FORWARD.—A truly Fall-bearing variety,
for it is more prolific during the autumn than
are most other varieties. The bright colored
berries are of excellent quality, being firm,
sweet, rich, with true strawberry flavor. The
plants, too, are very vigorous growers and quite
prolific. Dozen, 75c.; 100, $3.50.
NEVER FAIL.— An everbearing variety,
produced by pollenizing the June-bearing va-
riety, Bubach, with the everbearing sort, Superb.
It is claimed by the originator that “‘the plants

PERFECTION (Kellogg’s).—Perfection is
strong, hardy and vigorous in plant growth,
roots deeply and resists drought to a remark-
able degree. It is unusually productive of uni-
formly large, well-formed berries of rich red
color, delicate flavor and high quality. Dozen,
75c.; 100, $3.50.
PROGRESSIVE.—The finest of the Rock-
hill varieties. The plants are of vigorous habit,
with large, clean leaves, and they multiply bet-
ter than many of the fall-bearing varieties do
and yield profusely. The berries are so smooth
and uniform in size and shape they have the
appearance of having been made in a mould,
are deep crimson, glossy and of good quality.

SUPERB.—The best known and most large-

berries are nearly round and are larger than
those of the Progressive. They are smooth,
dark crimson, glossy, and of sweet, mild flavor.
The plants grow well, with clean, dark-green
leaves. It yields so heavily and the berries are
so fine it is a profitable variety to grow for
its June crop alone, and is one of the most
prolific and best croppers in autumn. Dozen,

EARLY JERSEY
GIANT
The Van Fleet Hybrid Strawberries
No other strawberries have had such wide
and thorough endorsement by horticulturists as
have these Hybrids, produced by Dr. Walter
Van Fleet, the world’s greatest hybridizer.
These varieties are most vigorous and sturdy
in plant growth, are exceedingly prolific of
very large, exquisitely beautiful berries, and
what is best of all, excel in high quality, rival-
ing in aroma the native wild Strawberry.
EARLY JERSEY GIANT.—Not only is this
the earliest fruiting variety of which we have
any knowledge, but it also produces the finest,
largest berries of any early sort. It is of sim-
ply superb flavor and the berries are not only
large but of beautiful color. The plants are
strong growers; the blossoms are “perfect.”
Layers, dozen, 75c.; 100, $2.00; 1,000, $15.00.
Pot-grown Plants, dozen, $1.25; 100, $7.50.
EDMUND WILSON.—Fruits are of great
size and most excellent quality. As it is very
dark in color (almost maroon), it is not a good
variety to grow for market; but if high quality
is the first consideration, you'll find it here par
excellence. Exceptionally sturdy grower, many
plants often standing twelve inches and more
in height and bearing fruit that actually ap-
proaches in size small apples or oranges.
Ripens in midseason. Layer plants, dozen,
$1.00.
Pot-grown Plants, dozen, $2.00.
Due to extraordinary demands last season,
our stock of the variety John H. Cook has be-
come so depleted that we have to withdraw it
from sale until another season.

POT-GROWN Plants of all sorts we grow, as such are

CHESAPEAKE.—With high culture, and _ especially
when upon good loamy soil, this berry is well-nigh perfect.
The berries are uniform in size and shape, the prevailing
form. being heart-shaped; the color is bright crimson and
the flesh firm and of excellent quality. Ripens from mid-
season to late. Dozen, 65c.; 100, $1.75; 1,000, $12.00.
COLLINS.—A long season berry that is at its best when
most midsummer varieties stop bearing and before the late
varieties reach the height of their bearing season. This
proves a wonderful acquisition to the man who desires a
constant supply of high-class berries. Being firm, it is
equally useful as a shipper. Dozen, 75c.; 100, $2.00.
EATON.—Of remarkable size, excellent in color, of su-
’ perior flavor, and possesses every characteristic to make
it one of the really worth-while Strawberries introduced of
late. It yields large berries in greatest profusion and their
dark red color easily makes them one of the most desirable
for canning. Dozen, 75c.; 100, $2.00.
GANDY.—Introduced by us over thirty years ago and
still grown commercially to a greater extent than probably
any other sort. The texture is of the firmest, and the color
a bright flame. Although the berries are large to very
large, the flavor is very acid and not of the highest quality.
It is late to very late in ripening. Dozen, 50c.; 100, $1.50.
GLEN MARY.—An old variety that still retains its
popularity, especially through the Middle Atlantic and
New England States, where it does best. Because of its
superb quality and tremendous productivity it is, without
doubt, one of the most satisfactory varieties to grow.
Should be planted near some good pollenizer such as Joe.
Dozen, 50c.; 100, $1.50.
HOWARD No. 17.—Where good soil conditions pre-
vail, this promises to be one of the most valuable intro-
ductions of recent years. A good second early, bearing
good sized berries, over a long season; an intensely strong
crower, with large, beautifully colored berries of uniformly
high quality. Dozen, 75c.; 100, $2.00.
HUNDRED DOLLAR.—A very valuable midseason
variety. The plant is a strong, vigorous grower and among
the most prolific. It ripens in midseason; the berries, which
are hardly firm enough for distant shipment, average very
large indeed; the color is bright scarlet and the quality
mild, sweet and luscious. Dozen, 50c.; 100, $1.50.
JOE (Joe Johnson, Big Joe).—A midseason to late va-
riety, fully up to Chesapeake in size, firmness and yield,
and superior to it in flavor and color. It also succeeds
in a great variety of soils. This is a berry that will
not disappoint. Our stock of this variety is extra
choice. Illustrated above. Dozen, 50c.; 100, $1.50.
JUDITH.—The large well flavored fruit maintains
its size uniformly throughout the season. The deep
red berries are large, pointed in shape, and of a deep
red color throughout, to the core. The berries are
firm and full of juice, a combination that makes this
variety ideal for both home and market garden pur-
poses. The berries are borne in large clusters, while
the bright green foliage and the strong plants cause
the fruits to stand out in beautiful contrast: We
can heartily indorse all recommendations of this
berry. Dozen, 75c.; 100, $2.00.
LUPTON.— Berries are large, bluntly conical,
bright flame-colored, glossy and retain their color
after being picked; have a large, double dark-green
calyx or “burr,” hence are very showy; and they are
also very firm. Practically ideal in growth of plant
and vigor. Dozen, 50c.; 100, $1.50.

MARSHALL.—This popular old variety is

New England States and New York. The
plant, of vigorous growth, with clean, healthy
foliage, is inclined to be unproductive except
upon fertile soil and under high culture. The
beautiful large berries are of extremely high
quality and meaty texture. Midseason.
McKINLEY.—Pre-eminently a variety for
the home garden, being too tender in texture
to endure shipment. The berries are large,
handsome and freely produced on strong grow-
ing plants. Midseason.
NICK OHMER.—A splendid healthy grow-
ing variety that fruits from midseason to late.
Its extra large berries are not only very at-
tractive, but of superlative quality.
NEW YORK.—Another “quality” berry ripening
in midseason. It is in many respects very much like
Marshall, but appears to give better results under
less exacting soil conditions than does that popular
old sort.
PREMIER.—Excelled by no early variety except
our own Early Jersey Giant. It succeeds on almost
all sorts of soils (if well drained) and throughout a
large section of the country. Produces in vast quan-
tities berries of good size, attractive appearance and
excellent quality.

merit has forged ahead by leaps and bounds,
until it now stands at the top of the list of red va-
rieties. The berries, though not of largest size, are
bright red and of excellent quality. It ripens very
early—in advance of all other red varieties.
Besides giving an immense crop in summer, it also
gives an autumn crop, continuing to produce perfect
berries in generous quantity until the ground freezes.
Unlike most other Raspberries, it yields a moderate
crop of berries the first season if planted in early
spring, especially if you start with the fruiting age
plants. offered below.
St. Regis sends up suckers or young plants exces-
sively, and unless these are kept down (to a single
row of plants or three to four plants to the hill),
with hoe or otherwise, treating the surplus ones as
weeds, the crop of fruit will be small, both in quan-
tity and size of the berries.

LA FRANCE
Another season’s tests have but con-
firmed our high opinions of this most re-
markable sort. Such berries, as are shown
above, are borne in great abundance in the
fall in the same or even greater abundance
than throughout the summer months. La
France is extremely hardy. Often
reaches the height of nine feet.
The late crops (when the fruit is most
highly prized) are heavier than the early
ones. The fruit is borne on racemes. Branch
alongside shows the remarkable combination
of buds, blooms, fruit just setting, green ber-
ries, and the ripened fruit. The berries are
deep pink, juicy and of delicious flavor. The
fully developed fruits are about twice as large as
the average, while individual drupes are two to
three times as large as those of the average sort.

COLUMBIAN (Cap)
A giant variety that may well be described
as a “purple cap” sort, quite distinct from either
the red-fruited or black-cap varieties. The fruit,
which is of a dull purple-crimson, is of high
quality and is excellent for making jelly and
jam. Canes both hardy and prolific. Succeeds
everywhere, even in the South, where most va-
rieties of red Raspberries fail. Because of its
dull red color it does not usually sell well in
market, but for the home garden it is one of
the very best. Ripens in midseason, continuing
quite late. Extra heavy tip plants, dozen, $1.00;

General List of Varieties
BLOWERS.—On fertile soil canes often
grow to ten or twelve feet. They yield very
heavily and for a long season, beginning in mid-
season. The fruit is large, attractive and of
superb quality. Twenty. degrees below zero
has not harmed it and it is a phenomenal crop-

Transplanted, dozen, $1.50; 100, $7.50.
BUSHEL BERRY.—In growth it resembles
Star or Wonder, but it appears to be somewhat
more vigorous. In the southern part of this
state, it is rapidly superseding Star or Wonder.
Both these varieties, of course, being of long
trailing growth, must necessarily be given sup-
port. Though a record of a bushel of fruit per
plant may seem phenomenal, we know this
variety to hold this record, on an acre patch.
Transplanted, dozen, $2.00; 100, $10.00.
ELDORADO.—Considered among the high-
est in quality of all Blackberries. Very popu-
lar, especially throughout the North and North-
west, not only on account of its quality but
because of its extreme hardiness. The fruit
is of medium size, jet black, mild, sweet and
melting. A good, healthy, vigorous grower.

$4.50: 1.000, $40.00. Transplanted, dozen, $1.50;
100, $6.00.
ICEBERG.—Unquestionably the best white
blackberry yet produced. Clusters are borne
very profusely in midseason and are both sweet
and tender. It is not so hardy as some of the
black varieties. Should be planted near some
black fruited variety for thorough pollenization,
in order to yield freely. Dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00.
Transplanted, dozen, $1.50; 100, $7.50.
LA GRANGE.—A very valuable variety by
reason of its large yield, early ripening, long
season of fruiting, and particularly its fine size
and superb quality. Dozen, $1.00; 100, $6.00.
Transplanted plants, dozen, $1.50; 100, $7.50.
MACATAWA
Classed as an everbearing sort because of its
very long season of fruiting. Fruit sweet, al-

WARD.—A grand blackberry. A descendant
of the once famous Kittatinny, and the most
popular variety in New Jersey at the present
time. The canes are of strong growth, are
hardy, and annually yield a heavy crop of large,
handsome berries of first quality that always
command the top price in market. It is a re-

CACO GRAPE
Another season’s observation of the be-
havior of this remarkable variety has but
added to the high regard which we had for
the many fine characteristics of Caco. It is
literally “making good” in all soils and sections, so
that we can confidently recommend it on the basis
of records performed.
Caco 1s a hybrid produced by hand pollenization of the
varieties Catawba and Concord. It inherits the valuable charac-
teristics of both parents in a remarkable degree, minus any of
their defects. A perfectly hardy grape that has been
pronounced by America’s most expert grower of hot-
house grapes to equal, in high quality and melting
texture, the finest varieties grown under
elass. When one considers the price of
the greenhouse product, and realizes that
the wonderful Caco can be grown in the
backyard almost without attention, the
force of the above statement is
apparent.
In appearance, the most beautiful
of hardy grapes; berry large, wine-
red with abundant bloom. Bunch of
good size, compact and of good form.
Ripens in advance of Concord; so
rich in sugar it is excellent in flavor
two weeks in advance of being fully
ripe. Vine a very strong, vigorous
grower, healthy and prolific. The
fruit sells in open market, by the crate, at
double the price of other varieties.
The cardinal qualities of Caco are: Ex-
tremely rich, sugary flavor, beauty of fruit
beyond words to describe, and what is most
important, extreme vigor of vine. To be brief,

ries rather small, greenish white, thin skinned,
tender, sweet, juicy and vinous, with refreshing
and refined flavor. Ripens very early. This 1s
a splendid variety. 1 year, each, 75c.; dozen,
$7.50. 2 years, each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00.
HUBBARD.—Quality sweet and delicious,
having fine and pleasant flavor approaching
that of the European or Vinifera Grapes. Seeds,
which are few and small, separate freely from
the tender pulp; skin is thin and firm; berries
and bunch large and uniform. Ripens about
ten days earlier than Concord.
As the Hubbard Grape is of better quality,
a better shipper, of better size, healthy foliage
and earlier ripening, and is also a strong grower,
it is a more desirable grape to plant than either
Concord or Niagara. 1 year, each, 50c.; dozen,
$5.00. 2 years, each, 75c.; dozen, $7.50.

A good word from Kansas:
“T began testing out some of your new things a num-
ber of years ago, and so far think that your Caco grape
is preeminent, as it has proven the most valuable general
crop grape that I have found among twenty-five or more
varieties growing in this locality. Drought, lack of culti-
vation, nor lack of fertilizers seem to seriously affect its
size, quality or productiveness, and it sold for double the
price of Concords.”’ Orto GRreEEF, Pittsburg, Kas.
And here is a message from the Pacific Coast:
“Am very proud of the Black Caps and desire you to
know that so far 45 of the lot you sent are coming
through just fine, considering that I only paid you for 36,
think that is going some. New growth is 2 inches in some
cases, and I anticipate good results. I have never seen
them in the markets here and do not know of any others
in my section.”

LOVETT’S NURSERY, LITTLE SILVER, N.J—ASPARAGUS 21
A Slogan for Every Home Gardener:
Grow Your Own ASPARAGUS
Asparagus! One of nature’s great gifts and
tonics of early spring. Creamed Asparagus on
toast when the system is craving for fresh
green vegetables; a system sadly in need of the
medicinal properties inherent in most green
foods, but particularly in Asparagus.
The trouble with Asparagus bought on mar-
ket is that it is stale! You never will really
know how delicious this vegetable can be un-
less you go out to your own patch and, within
a short time after cutting, dish out the long,
big stalks of vegetable delicacy. Then you won-
der how you could ever think the bunches
bought on market were good!
CULTURE.—In even the smallest garden,
a few square feet of ground should be devoted
to Asparagus.
In the family garden, the roots should be set
GENUINE “WASHINGTON”
The finest variety to date
ASPARAGUS
from one to two feet apart in rpws three feet
apart. They should be placed in furrows six or
eight inches deep, but covered with only about
three inches of soil at time of planting, the re-
mainder of the trench being filled in by de-
grees as the plants increase in height.
In field culture, where they are to be worked
with horse and cultivator, the roots should be
set from one to two feet apart in the rows
and the rows should be from six to seven feet
apart.
Since the Asparagus bed will occupy the same
ground for a number of years, care should be
taken to enrich the soil by a liberal digging in of
well-rotted manure. In the fall, cut off the
stalks and burn them. This helps to keep the
asparagus beetle under control. After frosts,
mulch the bed with coarse manure that may
be dug in between the rows in the spring.
Sprinkling table salt, at the rate of a pound to
every 20 feet of row, on the rows in early spring
is said to add to the quality of the product.
WASHINGTON
This variety is the result of many years’
work by Prof. J. B. Norton, an asparagus
authority of international renown, whose
chief aim has, we understand, been to create
a strain of asparagus that is rust-resistant.
Prof. Norton, in referring to this variety,
recently wrote: “Our seed fields are now
composed of those individuals that produce
large, straight shoots, dark green in color,
with a heavy purple over-tone. The tips are
tight and firm and do not open out or
begin to branch until well out of ground.”

LOMBARD.—Midseason. A very reliable
and popular variety. It is very prolific of large
violet red fruits.
RED JUNE.—The plums are distinctly
heart-shaped with a deep cavity and a pointed
apex; the color is a mottled garnet-red over-
laid with delicate bloom; the flesh is a light
yellow, firm enough to endure transportation
well, peculiarly aromatic, sweet, and not wholly
agreeable in flavor; the stone adheres tightly to
the flesh. It blooms late; the fruits are com-
paratively immune to curculio and brown-rot
and hang to the trees exceptionally well. Varies
in season of ripening, but usually ripens a week
or more before Abundance.

HARDY ROSES
When requested to do so,

we will gladly ship Roses by parcel post, provided cash is sent
All Roses offered in this catalog are strong plants, some two and some three years old. We
do not consider it good business to offer one year old or younger plants which, unless given the
very best of care, almost always prove disappointing; and all our Everblooming Roses are budded
on that best of all stocks, the Japanese multiflora, unless marked ok which signifies that those
sorts are on their own roots.
HARDY EVERBLOOMING ROSES
Again we offer our patrons not only an un-
usually large quantity of Everblooming Roses,
but an assortment of varieties which is, we
think, the finest we have ever had the pleasure
of offering.
This collection of varieties has been made
with endeavor to choose sorts which are not
only among the most beautiful, but also hardy.
Even so, it is best to give all varieties some pro-
tection in winter. A light covering of strawy
manure is all that is necessary; or an equally
efficient protection may be obtained by heaping
soil, say, eight inches deep about each plant—
removing same, of course, in early spring.
The shock to Ev erblooming Roses is so great,
when taken from the nursery row and planted
in the garden that several weeks, or even
months, are required for them to recuperate.
3ecause of this we grow all our roses of this
class in pots In shipping these large sturdy
plants, they are taken from the pots in which
they are growing and are sent with all their
roots and the earth about them undisturbed.
When thus shipped and planted in their new
homes they continue to grow and flower with-
out check.
Prices for two- and three-year-old plants
from five inch pots, each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00;
100, $75.00 (unless otherwise noted).
Please Note.—For best results, plant Ever-
blooming Roses at least an inch and a half
deeper than thev have stood in the pots.

AMERICAN PILLAR.—This is positively one
of the most gorgeous climbers that we have ever
seen. Its glossy, mildew-proof foliage and extreme-
ly strong growth make it desirable for covering
summerhouses and arbors; at the same time, its

The Lovely Trio of the Lovett
Sisters’ Climbing Roses
These are all the result of efforts of the
famous hybridizer, Dr. Van Fleet, to whom we
are indebted for some of the choicest new cre-
ations in Roses. Among climbers the following
rank unsurpassed :—
ALIDA LOVETT.—This may be described
in brief by saying it is an improved Dr. Van
Fleet. In habit it is quite like the popular Van
Fleet, but with larger and more beautiful mil-
dew-proof foliage, while the color of the flower
is brighter. See illustration below.
Both buds and flowers are large; are of ideal
form; are held on stiff stems a foot and a halt
to two feet long; and the color is a lively bright
shell-pink with shadings of rich sulphur at the
base of petals—a combination that is both novel
and beautiful.
The plant is of strong growth, a free bloomer
and of ironclad hardihood; flowering for a long
season. It is also quite fragrant. Price, from
held, each $1.50: dozen, $15.00. From pots, each,
$2.00; dozen, $20.00.
BESS LOVETT.—Is of strong growth, with
large, glossy Silver Moon-like foliage, and,
what is remarkable in a climbing rose, the flow-
ers are exquisitely fragrant. There is no other
climbing rose we have ever seen that at all
approaches, much less rivals, this grand rose
in perfume. Flowers are lavishly produced:
are of good size, double, full and cupped
form (see illustration of a typical flower
above), being similar in make-up to the
Climbing American Beauty, but very much
brighter in color and more fragrant by far.
The color is a clear bright red. The roses,
which are very lasting, are also very beau-
tiful in bud and are borne on long stems,
hence are admirable for cutting. Price, field-
grown, each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00. From
five-inch pots, each, $1.50; dozen, $15.00.
MARY LOVETT.—The superb pure white
climbing rose. It is very much like the beau-
tiful Dr. W. Van Fleet Rose, except in that
the large full flowers are pure snow white.
They are held on long, strong stems and are
delightfully sweet-scented. It blooms in late
summer and autumn, as well as in June. It
is a strong grower, with abundant mildew-
proof foliage, and is exceedingly free flower-
ing. The flowers are very lasting if left
upon the plant or when cut. Beyond ques-
tion, the finest and most valuable climbing
white rose as yet offered. Price, feld-grown
plants, each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00. From five.
inch pots, each, $1.50; dozen, $15.00.
DR. W. VAN FLEET.—Delicate shell-
pink, mildly perfumed flowers are produced
abundantly. The perfect pointed buds are
large and as perfect as though greenhouse
grown, and the open blooms are large and
most attractive.
CLIMBING AMERICAN BEAUTY.—
This is of vigorous habit and the flowers
are of the same color and fragrance as the
popular variety whose name it bears. It is
a wonderfully free bloomer.

AUNT HARRIET.— Originated by the fa-
mous Rose-hybridizer, Dr. W. Van Fleet. In
full bloom it is amazingly fine, with scarlet-
crimson Roses loading every branch. Awarded
Certificate of Merit, American Rose Society.
CRIMSON RAMBLER.—Produces a pro-
fusion of large clusters of deep crimson, semi-
double flowers. A splendid variety for cover-
ing walls, verandas, etc. Subject to mildew.
ELIZABETH ZEIGLAR.—In both form
and color it is way ahead of the ever popular
“Dorothy Perkins.” A strong grower and pro-
fuse bloomer, and the flowers last a long time.
CLIMBING ORLEANS.—Profuse bearer
of clusters of semi-double flowers that are
geranium red, edged with bright carmine, and
with white centers; exceedingly showy.
ERNEST GRANDPIER.—This is a splen-
did variety to grow for cut flowers. It is glisten-
ing white, and so double it has the apnearance
of a Cape Jasmine. A thrifty grower.
EXCELSA (Red Dorothy Perkins).—Flow-
ers brilliant crimson; plant of Wichuraiana
habit and foliage. It has the vigor and pro-
fuse bloom of the Dorothy Perkins, and its
double flowers of good size are borne in clus-
ters of thirty to forty each. Really an im-
proved Crimson Rambler.
FRAU OCTAVIE HESSE.—In both habit
of growth and mildew resistance this very
much resembles Ernest Grandpier. The color,
however, is a real deep pink, almost cerise.
GARDENIA (Hardy Marechal Niel).—The
very pretty pointed-buds of this rose are nan-
keen yellow, turning: to waxy white when ex-
panded, and are held on long stems.

HIAWATHA.—A sturdy variety, producing
abundant single flowers of a brilliant ruby car-
mine, with a clear white eye and a mass of
golden stamens.
LADY GAY.—A most profuse bloomer, in
large loose clusters. Its color is soft cherry
pink, changing to bluish white. A large plant,
with cherry pink buds, soft pink flowers and
rich green foliage.
PAUL’S SCARLET CLIMBER.—A very
fine English sort of recent introduction. It
surely has won a place for itself, with its large,
brilliant scarlet flowers produced in glorious
profusion. Though but semi-double, the flow-
ers are of surprisingly large size and are borne
long after the June bloomers have seen their
day. Winner of many highest awards, includ-
ing Gold Medal of National Rose Society of
England. Heavy 2-year-old field-grown plants,
$1.00 each; $10.00 per dozen. From pots, each,
$1.50; dozen, $15.00.

size and beauty. Pronounced the finest single
white in cultivation to date. Heavy 2-year-old
field-grown plants, each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00.
From pots, each, $1.50; dozen, $15.00.
SILVER MOON.—Its buds are exquisite in
form and color, and its many. semi-double
flowers are very pretty and decorative; open-
ing a soft nankeen yellow and quickly chang-
ing to pure silvery white; are four inches or
more in diameter and slightly perfumed. A

er, and from early June until well into July

HARDY CHRYSANTHEMUMS
When all outdoors assumes drab and dreary hues, when Jack Frost has raised havoc with
all tender and most hardy vegetation, then it is that the hardy "Mums come into their own. It
takes October frosts to mature the buds and a brisk November breeze to open them.
The glory
of a bed of hardy ’Mums is like the reflection of autumn leaves, sunset scenes and rose tints.
Their culture is easiest: plant them into any good soil, 2 feet apart. When the young shoots
are 6 inches tall, pinch out the center of each stalk, and repeat this until middle of August, when
sturdy, bushy plants should have developed. A mulching with well-decomposed cow manure
will be productive of extra-sized flowers in unusual quantities.

bronze.

colors, these varieties of Iris; for almost any
color, except bright red, can be found among
them. They invariably flower in profusion and
are so hardy and sturdy they succeed with very
little care. All are splendid for use as cut
flowers in addition to their value for lawn
adornment. The upright petals are termed
“stands”; the drooping ones, “falls.”
A Cultural Hint.—Most planters set Iris
roots too deeply. They should be
so placed that the neck of the
root is just level with
the surface.

During late years, old-fashioned fences have gone decidedly out of fashion. The first cost
