HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS AND TERMS 


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, Regis- 
tered Letter, Draft, or Express Money Order. 

Prices in this catalog abrogate previous quotations. The prices quoted are for the quantities 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. 


HOW TO ORDER.—Order early. Small favors thankfully received always, but we cannot under- 
take to fill an order 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 points goods are to be sent 
Keep a correct copy of the order and check off the plants, etc., when they arrive. Persons sometimes forget 
what they have ordered 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 season, when many orders are received 
and dispatched in a day, it would, in some cases, be almost impossible to comply. No change or counter- 
mand of an order may be considered final without our written consent. 


SHIPPING.—We deliver all goods to forwarders here without charge, after which our control ceases; 
consequently our responsibility also. We particularly caution patrons against ordering Perennial Plants 
and Strawberry Plants shipped by freight; they should always go by express, or in small lots by mail. Trans- 
portation charges on all goods shipped by freight or express are to be paid by the purchaser, unless by special 
arrangement. 


PACKING is executed with the utmost care. Special pains are taken to pack lightly, thereby reducing 


the expense of transportation to a minimum. All goods at prices quoted are packed free. Everything is 
labeled. 


SUBSTITUTION.—It is our custom, should the supply of a variety become exhausted (which occa- 
sionally occurs in all nurseries), to substitute in its stead a similar sort. 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. 


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, carefully 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. 


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 con- 
tinue to deal with us. 


LOCATION.—Lovett’s Nursery is one mile from Little Silver Depot, two miles from Red Bank, 
forty miles from New York City and five miles from Long Branch. To reach it from New York, take 
the Central Railroad of New Jersey (foot of Liberty Street or 23rd Street) or the Pennsylvania Railroad 
(Hudson Terminal or 32nd Street and Seventh Avenue). From Philadelphia, take the Pennsylvania Rail- 
road (Broad and Market Streets) or the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad (Bound Brook Route). 

Certificate of inspection is attached to each shipment. 


SHIPMENTS BY PARCEL POST 


Many plants offered can be shipped to advantage by parcel post; especially to nearby points. In this 
catalog 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. 

Should you receive two copies of this catalog, please hand one to a neighbor who is interested in 
Small Fruits, Trees, Roses, Hardy Flowers and Plants.

Activity 


Slowly but surely mankind is learn- 
ing nature s methods and taking 
advantage of the knowledge gained. But 

ten short years ago, the advocating of 
fall planting seemed like rank heresy. To- 
day, a liberal percentage of home gardeners are 


taking advantage of the unusually favorable 
planting conditions which fall affords. 


Nature herself is in an ideal mood to assist the planter to make fall 
planting a successful undertaking. She has ripened the wood and foliage 
of nearly all the trees, shrubs and plants. She has gotten into proper con- 
dition the soil abounding with mellowness, warmth and moisture. Why 
not let trees, shrubs and plants you desire to set out winter in your own 
grounds rather than in the storage cellars of a nursery? 


Even if you do not find time to actually set out trees, shrubs and plants 
where you desire them to grow, it is best to order them, heel them in, to 
have them on hand the first thing in the spring when you are ready to plant 
them into their permanent places. [hat is the single most important factor 
in favor of your ordering nursery stock in the fall—You are assured of hav- 
ing the plants and trees on hand just when you want them,something that can- 
not always be brought about as the result of spring orders. 


Yours for spring results from Fall Action

4 FALL PLANTING SUGGESTIONS FROM 


CHOICEST HARDY GRAPES for the HOME GARDEN 


Vines will be sent by mail, if desired, provided cash is sent for postage as per table on inside back 
cover page. 

Autumn is an excellent time for planting grapes. Plant in rows eight feet apart and the vines eight 
feet apart in the rows. Thousand rate of any variety promptly given upon receipt of request. 


Lovett’s Caco Grape 


Our Caco Grape was awarded a medal by the American Institute of 
New York. This is the highest honor ever conferred upon a new variety 
by that time-honcred institution. 


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 wich | in sugar it is excellent in flavor two week; 
% in advance of being fully ripe. Vine a very strong, 
vigorous grower, healthy and prolific. The fruti 
sells in open market, by the crate, at double 
the price of other varieties. 

The cardinal qualities of Caco are: Ex- 
treme rich, sugary flavor, beauty of fruit 
beyond words to describe, and what is most 
important, extreme vigor of vine. To be 
brief, we are entirely sincere when we claim 
Caco to be: 

The highest in quality of all hardy 
grapes. 

Equals in ugh quality and melting texture 
the finest varieties grown under glass. 
The most beautiful of all hardy grapes. 
Red and amber overlaid with beautifu’ 
bloom. 

The strongest in growth of all hardy grapes. 


Prices of Caco Grape Vines 1 year, each, 
75c.; dozen, $7.50. 2 years, each, $1.00; dozen, 
$10.00. Heavy, fruiting age vines, each, $2.00; 

dozen, $20.00 iF 


Standard Sorts of Sterling Merit 


Agawam.—Deep red, almost maroon. Large, 
loose bunch, berries large, meaty, with rich, aro- 
matic flavor. Ripens a little after Concord. 1 
year, each, 30c.; dozen, $3.00. 2 years, each, 40c.; 
dozen, $4.00. 


Brighton.— Until the introduction of Caco, this 
was regarded as the highest in quality of all hardy 
grapes. The berries are wine-red, like Caco, but 
not so large, while the bunch, if anything, is some- 
what larger. Ripens in midseason. 1 year, each, 


40c.; dozen, $4.00. 2 years, each, 50c.; dozen, $5.00.

HARDY GRAPES— 


Continued 


CHAMPAGNE 


One of the finest of 
grapes and particularly use- 
ful for home gardens. A 
very strong grower, prac- 
tically immune to attacks 
of fungus disease. So hardy 
that it hasnever been known 
to be winter killed. Pro- 
duces immense crops of 
amber colored _. grapes. 
Bunches areof medium size, 
individual berry very large. 
It is of extra high quality 
and so free in sugar that “in 
the old days” a delicious 
wine was made from this 
variety without the addition 
of any sugar. This variety 
is splendid for eating out of 
hand, or for the making of 
Grape Juice or Wine. 1 
year, each, 50c.; dozen, $5.00. 
2 years, each, 75c.; dozen, CHAMPAGNE 
$7.50. 

CAMPBELL’S EARLY.—A superb early 
ripening black grape. Produces extra large 
bunches of fruit that is not only attractive in 
appearance, but of superb quality. This variety, 
because it is lacking in pollen, should be 
planted reasonably near some variety that is 
free in pollen. We recommend the variety 
Diamond for this purpose. 1 year, each, 50c.; 
dozen, $5.00. 2 years, each, 75c.; dozen, $7.50. 

CONCORD.— Undoubtedly the best known 
and most popular variety in America. It suc- 
ceeds practically everywhere and has made 
fortunes for many commercial growers. Its 
large black berries are borne in large, well 
shouldered bunches, and covered as they are 
with a decided bloom, they make a most at- 
tractive appearance. Of good quality, in fact, 
in every way a desirable sort. 1 year, each, 
20c.; dozen, $2.00; 100, $10.00; 1,000, $75.00. 2 
years, each, 25c.; dozen, $2.50; 100, $15.00; 1,000, 
$100.00. Heavy fruiting age vines, each, 75c.; 
dozen, $7.50. 

Delaware.—An old-time red variety. Bunch 
and berry small, refined, high quality. Prolific, 
but a rather weak grower and somewhat sub- 
ject fo mildew. 1 year, each, 40c.; dozen, $4.00. 
2 years, each, 50c.; dozen, $5.00. 

Diamond (Moore’s). — A _ reliable white 
grape. Bunches large and compact. Berry 
large, greenish white, juicy and of good qual- 
ity. A vigorous grower and prolific. Ripens 
early. 1 year, each, 40c.; dozen, $4.00. 2 years, 
each, 50c.; dozen, $5.00. Heavy fruiting vines, 
each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00. 

GREEN MOUNTAIN.—tThe earliest white 
grape. Bunch small to medium in size, ber- 
ries rather small, greenish white, thin skinned, 
tender, sweet, juicy and vinous, with delight- 
ful, sprightly and refined flavor. Ripens very 
early. This is a splendid variety. 1 year, 
each, 75c.; dozen, $7.50. 2 years, each, $1.00; 
dozen, $10.00. 

Moore’s Early.—The most reliable very early 
variety and is proving immensely profitable to 
commercial growers. Medium bunch, berry 
large, jet black with purple bloom, ripens fully 
two weeks earlier than Concord. 1 year, each, 
25c.; dozen, $2.50; 100, $15.00. 2 years, each, 
40c.; dozen, $4.00; 100, $20.00. Heavy fruiting 
vines, each, 75c.; dozen, $7.50. 


Niagara.—The most popu- 
lar white grape. Cluster 
large and compact; berry 
large, amber white with 
white bloom, thin skinned, 
tender pulp, sweet and lus- 
cious. Ripens in midseason 
with Concord. 1 year, each, 
30c.; dozen, $3.00; 100, 
$20.00. 2 years, each, 40c.; 
dozen, $4.00; 100, $25.00. 
Heavy fruiting vines, each, 
$1.00; dozen, $10.00. 

Worden.—A black grape 
that resembles Concord 
closely, but with more 
tender pulp, higher quality, 
and ripens a week to ten 
days earlier. It is also a 
little larger in both bunch 
and berry than the Concord.

Grow More Grapes and Still More 
Grapes—and Start with Lovett’s 
Fruiting Age Vines 


Three years ago we foresaw the immense 
increase in popularity which grape growing 
would enjoy. So we set aside several acres of 
the best land in our Nurseries and planted 
them with grape vines—of the good varieties, 
with thousands of plants. These are now 
heavily rooted, strongly caned specimen 
plants, some of which have borne small clus- 
ters this past year in the nursery row. They 
will do well for you next year, if planted 
this fall.

FALL PLANTING SUGGESTIONS FROM 


BIGGER, BETTER 
BLACKBERRIES 


When requested, plants will be 
sent by mail, provided cash is 
sent for postage as per table. 

In field culture, plant in rows 
from five to seven feet apart 
(according to the vigor of the 
variety) and three feet apart in 
the rows. In the garden, plant 
in rows five feet apart and the 
plants three feet apart in the 
rows. 

Our blackberry plants are either 
root-cutting plants that have 
been grown from pieces of roots 
in nursery rows, or they are 
heavily rooted transplanted 
plants. Both are far superior to 
ordinary or sucker plants. 

We believe we have this sea- 
son the finest and largest supply 
of root-cutting and transplanted 
blackberry plants of any con- 
cern in the United States. 


JOY BLACKBERRY 


Unites superlative quality, iron- 
clad hardiness and great 
productiveness. 


This “best of all” variety was 
introduced by us ten years ago 
and is rapidly superseding all 
other sorts. Joy may be briefly 
described as follows: Canes of 
stocky, vigorous habit (so stout 
and strong it needs no staking), 
with abundant large five-fingered 
leafage; yields very heavily 
every year and all the canes are 
loaded with fruit. We have never known any 
other variety, either Blackberry or Raspberry, 
with such an inherent propensity to bear fruit 
as the Joy Blackberry. 


It has endured a temperature of twenty-four 
degrees below zero unharmed; and is apparent- 
ly immune to “Orange Rust,” “Double Blos- 
som” and all other diseases of the Blackberry. 


The berries are large and almost as thick 
through as they are long—a characteristic of 
the variety—and are coal black. In rich, lus- 
cious flavor, it surpasses almost all other Black- 
berries. It is not an early variety, ripening in 
midseason; with Ward and Blowers. 


Joy has more than “made good,” as it has 
proved beyond a shadow of a doubt to be the 
finest and the best Blackberry for American 
growers as yet offered, both for commercial 
growers and for the home garden. 


Selected root-cutting plants, dozen, $1.50; 
100, $7.50. Transplanted plants, dozen, $2.00; 
100, $10.00. 


Blowers.—A variety which possesses the 
quadruple valuable qualities of large size, pro- 
ductiveness, absolute hardiness and very pro- 
longed season of fruiting. Under high culture 
on fertile soil, the canes often attain a growth 
of from ten to twelve feet if kept untrimmed. 
It yields very heavily for a long season begin- 
ning in midseason. The fruit is not only large 
and attractive, but of superb quality. Twenty 


degrees below zero has not harmed it and it 
has yielded at the rate of 280 bushels per acre. 


R. C. plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00; 1,000; 
$45.00. Transplanted, dozen, $1.50; 100, $7.50. 


BUSHEL BERRY.—In growth it resembles 
Star or Wonder, but it appears to be somewhat 
more vigorous, hence, in common with that 
variety, needs stakes or trellises for support. 
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. R. €. 
plants, dozen, $1.50; 100, $7.50. Transplanted, 
dozen, $2.00; 100, $10.00. 


EARLY HARVEST.—An old variety and a 
favorite especially with western and south- 
western growers. The mild, sweet berries are 
rather small but firm and symmetrical. Ripens 
very early; sometimes suffers from winter in- 
jury in the North. R. C. plants, dozen, $1.00; 
100, $4.50; 1,000, $40.00. 


Eldorado.—The excellent flavor and extreme 
hardiness of this variety are notable. Because 
of both of these qualities it is extremely popu- 
lar, especially throughout the North and North- 
west. Among its other good points might be 
mentioned its early and rather long season of 
fruiting; its healthy and vigorous growth and 
the attractiveness of its fruit, which, though 
of but medium size, is jet black, of good regu- 
lar form and is mild, sweet and melting. 

R. C. plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, $4.50; 1,000, 
$40.00. Transplanted, dozen, $1.25; 100, $6.00. 


LOVETT’S NURSERY, LITTLE SILVER, NEW JERSEY 7 


BLACKBERRIES—Continued 


HIMALAYA.Almost a climber, with ex- 
tremely long canes, which grow best over 
stakes or an arbor. The berries are small, 
but of sweet, brisk flavor. Transplanted plants, 
dozen, $1.50; 100, $8.00. 

Iceberg. — Unquestionably the best white 
blackberry as yet produced. Clusters of the 
white, translucent berries are borne very pro- 
fusely in midseason and are both sweet and 
tender. It is not as hardy as some of the 
black varieties. As the blossoms are lacking 
in pollen, it should be planted near some black 
fruited variety in order to yield freely. 

R. C. plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00. Trans- 
planted plants, dozen, $1.50; 100, $7.50. 

Kenoyer.—Ripens very early, with us by July 
Ist. It is hardy and produces berries of ex- 
cellent quality, though not very large. It is 
probably the best extra early variety. 

R. C. plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, $4.50. Trans- 
planted plants, dozen, $1.25; 100, $6.00. 

La Grange.—Unlike other varieties, the fruit 
of La Grange ripens in the shade and is, there- 
fore, of superior quality. [It begins to ripen 
early in July and continues for four or five 
weeks, yielding heavily. In addition to the 
extreme hardihood of its canes, it is a very 
valuable variety by reason of its large yield, 
early ripening, long season of fruiting, and par- 
ticularly the fine size and superb quality of its 
fruit. 

R. C. plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00. Trans- 
planted plants, dozen, $1.50 $ 


TEXAS--A Berry Beyond Compare 


Macatawa. — This, by many growers, is 
classed as an everbearing sort because of its 
very long season of fruiting. For many weeks 
it produces fruit which is sweet, almost seed- 
less and entirely coreless. The plants are 
strong, upright growers, tremendously prolific 
and extremely hardy.

Mersereau.—This is another extremely hardy 
variety, it having originated in northwestern 
New York. Great size, luscious flavor, great 
hardiness, great productiveness and unusual 
freedom from “Orange Rust” and other dis- 
eases are combined in this one variety. 


R. C. plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00. Trans- 
planted plants, dozen, $1.25; 100, $6.00. 
STAR OR WONDER.—This is indeed 


wonder. Imagine picking great clusters of 
Blackberries from canes that resemble grape 
vines. This is what you can do if you plant 
the Star Blackberry. The yield is so great 
that over eighty quarts of berries have been 
picked from a single plant of it in one season. 

Should be trained to stakes or trellis or over 
an arbor, as grapes are grown, and given plenty 
of room. 

Berries are of medium size, attractive ap- 
pearance and rich, sprightly, luscious quality: 
keep in good condition for a long time and 
can be safely shipped almost any distance. 
Ripens very late. 

R. C. plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00. Trans- 
planted plants, dozen, $1.25; 100, $6.00. 


Taylor.—We consider this by far the best 
variety fruiting late in the season. Its berries 
of good size and its sureness to produce a good 
crop annually recommend it for both home and 
market growing. 

R. C. plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, $4.50: 1,000, 


$38.00. Transplanted plants, dozen, $1.25; 100. 
$6.00. 
TEXAS EVERBEARING 
See illustration alongside. This variety, 


brought from Africa by a Mr. Texas, is in many 
respects exceptional and beyond compare. 
Bearing continuously from early August until 
late autumn, it is truly an everbearing sort. Dur- 
ing its entire season its strong canes are pro- 
lic in their production of jet black, sweet, 
juicy berries, which are without core and often 


measure an inch and a half in diameter

1,000, $60.00. 


WARD.—A grand blackberry. A descend 
ant of the once famous. Kittatinny an‘! 
the most popular variety in New Jerse 
at the present time. The canes are of 
strong growth, hardy, and yield a heavy crop 
of large, handsome berries of first quality an- 
nually that always command the top price in 
market. It is a reliable variety and an excel- 
lent one for the home garden. 

R. C. plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, $5.00: 1,000,

ST. REGIS EVERBEARING OR 
RANERE 


St. Regis is unquestionably, all things con- 
sidered, by far the most valuable variety of 
Raspberry that has appeared within the last 
Qtlarter tor a. Centuty. 5 Untnoducedm bya usm 
(DOM it= has by sheen ment honed neadmon 
all others until it now stands at the top of the 
list of red varieties. The bright red berries, 
though not as large as some, are of fine quality 
and are produced in tremendous quantities not 
only in early summer (it ripens the earliest of 
all), but also throughout the fall and right up 
until freezing weather. In addition to being 
extremely hardy and drought-resistant, it 
thrives on hot sandy soil where most other 
sorts could not possibly succeed. Unlike most 
other Raspberries, it yields a moderate crop of 
berries the first season if planted in autumn or 
early spring. 

The St. Regis sends up suckers or young 
plants excessively, 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 quantity and size 
of the berries. 

Selected sucker plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, 
$3.50; 1,000, $30.00. Transplanted plants, dozen, 
$1.50; 100, $6.00; 1,000, $50.00. Heavy fruiting 
plants, dozen, $3.00; 100, $15.00.

LA FRANCE 

A giant in every way, producing immense 
crops of immense fruits from July until frost. 

The late crops (when the fruit is most highly 
prized) are heavier than the early oness., dlie 
fruit is borne on racemes, one to three feet 
long, and the same raceme will show the re- 
markable sight of buds, blooms, fruit just set- 
ting, green berries, 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. 

Extra selected sucker plants, dozen, $5.00; 
100, $40.00. 

GOLDEN QUEEN.—Introduced by us in 
1885. A sport of the Cuthbert and similar to 
it in all respects except color, which is a clear 
amber. Of luscious quality and a valuable 
variety for the home garden. Though not red, 
we class this with the red varieties, as it is of 
the same habit and requires the same culture. 

Sucker plants, dozen $1.00; 100, $7.50. 

WHITE QUEEN (Everbearing) 


A beautiful white-fruited everbearing variety 
which in some respects is actually an improve- 
ment upon St. Regis; its fruit is larger and its 
quality simply superb. Served with a red- 
fruited variety, it is surely a delight to the 
eye and a real treat to the inner man. 

Selected sucker plants, dozen, $3.50; 100,

the red-fruited or black-cap varieties. Of high qual- 
ity and excellent for making jelly and jam. Succeeds 
even in the South. One of the very best for the 
home garden. Ripens in midseason, continuing quite 
late

any blackcap that we have ever grown. Jet-black 
berries, of superb quality.

10 FALL PLANTING SUGGESTIONS FROM 


“Lovett’s for Small Fruits” 
DEWBERRIES 


Plants will be sent by mail, provided cash is 
sent for postage as per table on third cover. 

If to be staked, plant in rows four feet apart 
each way; if to be mulched, plant in rows six 
feet apart and the plants three feet apart in the 
rows. 

Austin’s Improved.—The very first of the black- 
berry family to come into bearing. The vigorous, 
prolific vines produce large, nearly round berries 
of good quality. 

R. Ce plants, dozen, 75¢.;7100, $4.00) Wranse 
planted plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, $6.00. 

Lucretia.—The fruit of this variety equals in 
size and quality that produced by the best of 
the upright growing varieties of blackberry and 
is produced earlier than any of the latter. It can 
be successfully grown upon any soil that is well 
drained. Very firm, quite long berries of large 
size, attractive in appearance and of high quality 
are produced in large quantities. The vines, of 
DEWBERRIES—A Delight to the Palate ae trailing habit, are hardy except at the far

planted plants, dozen, $1.00; 100, $6.00. 


LOGANBERRY 


The great merits of this unique fruit are now 
well known. The berries are of great size—equal- 
ling large blackberries, and are deep reddish 
maroon in color. In flavor, they are rich and 
sprightly—a mingling of the raspberry and black- 
berry, the raspberry predominating, mellow and 
refined, yet distinct from either—melting and 
without core. The flavor is so luscious, novel and 
rich, the berry cannot 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 has no equal. The canes are of strong, vigor- 
ous growth, semi-trailing in habit. 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. 

Heavy transplanted plants, dozen, $5.00; 100, 
$35.00. 


STRAWBERRY-RASPBERRY 


Of herbaceous habit and truly “everbearing, ” 
producing great quantities of most attractive 
sparkling crimson berries from early in July until 
frost. In the fresh state the fruit lacks flavor, LOGANBERRIES—The Earliest to Ripen 
but when cooked, especially when mixed with 
other Raspberries, it is delicious. 

Dozen, $1.50; 100, $8.00. 


WINEBERRY 


This decidedly unique and valuable 
variety is a strong rampant grower: 
the canes are thickly covered with 
purplish red hairs. Berries of medium 
size, the color of sherry wine, spark- 
ling, with a brisk, pleasant sub-acid 
flavor « Ganes! of  strone, oromwale eds 
hardy as an oak, and yield enormously 
for a long season. Excellent as a 
dessert fruit, but especially valuable 
for canning and for making a delicious 
oC wine.

PLEASE NOTE.—We offer in 
this catalog pot-grown strawberry 
plants only. Heavily rooted sturdy 
plants, as illustrated alongside, rep- 
resenting the kind we ship, may be 
planted any time up to October 
15th, will take root quickly and 
bear larger crops of better berries 
than can be expected of layer 
plants which we do not recommend 
for fall planting. 

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 grow in matted rows, set 
rows three feet apart and plants one foot apart 
in the rows. 

All the varieties offered have perfect flowers 
so do not need the association of another 
variety to be fruit fuel.

Lovett’s All Season 


The nearest approach to berry 
perfection yet attained 


We truly believe this is the 
most valuable Strawberry ever 
offered. We named it Lovett’s 
All Season because for the first 
time we have a truly everbearing 
variety, truly bearing all season. 
It begins in June, and continues 
to bear large quantities right 
through the summer and fall, the fall crop be- 
ing greater by far than that of any of the other 
everbearing varieties. We know of no other 
variety that will produce the crop of fruit dur- 
ing the hot, dry summer months which this 
sort does, while in size, the individual berry 
equals the best of the June varieties. The 
plant is of strongest constitution. The berries 
are the equal in size of any June bearing 
variety, quality is up to the highest standard. 
$5.00 per dozen; $35.60 per hundred. 

No less than a half dozen will be supplied, 
since no correct judgment can be formed with 
LOVETT’S ALL SEASON—The Strawberry Beyond Compare! a lesser number of plants.

A cool, moist location is best for these 
fruits, and for this reason they succeed 
admirably when planted by a stone wall 
or fence, being benefited by partial shade. 
Keep the ground mellow and free of 
weeds and grass, using fertilizer copious- 
ly. Mulching is necessary for the best 
returns. Plant in rows four feet apart 
and the plants set three feet apart in 
the rows.

FALL PLANTING SUGGESTIONS FROM 


* WILLIAM’S 
EARLY 
RED 


The Peer of Summer Apples. 
-THE LOVELT 


After having thoroughly tested this remark- 
able variety for a period of ten years, we con- 
sider it to be: 

Finer in quality and texture than any other 
summer fruiting variety. The most beautiful 
apple we have ever seen. As strong a grower 
as we have ever seen. 

It ripens with us the early part of August 
and when ripe is fully up to McIntosh in qual- 
ity (to be frank, we like it better); it is also 
of better color than McIntosh, being a 
brighter red. The fruit is above the average in 
size. We believe Lovett is destined to become 
a most popular summer apple. Each, $2.00; 
dozen, $20.00.

FALL PLANTING SUGGESTIONS FROM 


HARDY CLIMBING AND TRAILING ROSES 


Planted this Fall, bloom freely next Summer 


Our collection of Climbing Roses is, we believe, second to none. 


Every variety offered 


has been given the most rigid sort of test, so that we can recommend every one of the varieties. 
Price (except as noted), strong two-year field-grown plants, 75c. each; $7.50 per dozen. 


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 creations 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. 

Both buds and flowers are large; are of ideal 
form; are held on stiff stems a foot and a half 
to two feet long, and the color is a lively bright 
shell pink with shading of rich sulphur at the 
base of petals—a combination that is both novel 
and beautiful. It is very much brighter and more 
cheerful in color, with larger flowers, than 
those of the justly popular Dr. Van Fleet Rose. 

The plant is of strong growth, a free bloomer 
and of ironclad hardihood; flowering for a 
long season. It is also quite fragrant. Price, 


each, $1.50; dozen, $15.00. 


ALIDA LOVETT—With Bess Lovett in Oval Insert 


BESS LOVETT.—Is of strong growth, with 
large, glossy Silver Moon-like foliage, and, 
what is remarkable in a climbing rose, the 
flowers 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; 
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 beautiful 
in bud and are borne on long stems, hence 
are admirable for cutting. Price, field grown, 
each, $1.00; dozen, $10.00. 


MARY LOVETT.—The superb pure 
white climbing rose. It is very much like 
the beautiful Dr. W. Van Fleet Rose, ex- 
cept 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 flowering. The flowers 
are very lasting if left upon the plant or 
when cut. Beyond question, the finest and 
most valuable climbing white rose as yet 
offered. Price, field-grown plants, each,- 
$1.00; dozen, $10.00. 

AMERICAN PILLAR.—This is posi- 
tively one of the most gorgeous climbers 
that we have ever seen. Its glossy, mil- 
dew-proof foliage and extremely strong 
erowth make it desirable for covering 
summerhouses and arbors; at the same 
time, its wealth of bloom is truly wonder- 
ful. When in bloom it is almost covered 
with immense clusters of single blossoms, 
three inches across, that are a lovely apple- 
blossom pink, with bright golden stamens. 

AUNT HARRIET.—Originated by the 
famous 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. 

GARDENIA (Hardy Marechal Niel) — 
The very pretty pointed buds of this rose 
are nankeen yellow, turning to waxy white 
when expanded, and are held on long 
stems. Profuse bloomer and glossy foli- 
age. 

Climbing American Beauty.—Of the 
same color and fragrance as the American 
Beauty, but smaller. A profuse bloomer 
and a vigorous grower. 

Climbing Clothilde Soupert—A_ truly 
ever-blooming climbing rose. Loose clus- 
ters of large French white blossoms, with 
centers of silvery rose, are produced for a 
long season.

HARDY 
CLIMBING 
ROSES, 
Continued 


in clusters 
semi-double geranium red blooms with edges 
of bright carmine and white centers. 


Climbing Orleans. — Produces 


Crimson Rambler.—Produces a profusion 
of large clusters of deep crimson  semi- 
double flowers. A splendid variety for cover- 
ing walls, verandas, etc. Subject to mildew. 


Dorothy Perkins. — An unusually profuse 
bloomer, giving large clusters of clear rose 
pink, double flowers which are very lasting. 
It is a strong grower and very hardy. A very 
valuable rose. Each, 60c.; dozen, $6.00. 


DR. W. VAN FLEET.—Delicate shell pink, 
mildly perfumed flowers are produced abun- 
dantly. The perfect pointed buds are large and 
as perfect as though greenhouse-grown, and 
the open blooms are large and most attractive. 
The center is built high and the outer petals 
are beautifully cupped. 


Ernest Grandpier—Blooms are glistening 
creamy white, double, with a pointed center 
and resemble a Cape Jasmine. Splendid for 
cutting. 


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 improved 
Crimson Rambler. Each 60c.; dozen, $6.00. 


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. 


TAUSENDSCHOEN 
or Thousand Beauties 


Hiawatha.—A _ sturdy 


y variety pro- 
ducing abundant single flowers of a 
brilliant ruby carmine with a clear 
white eye and a mass of golden 


stamens. 

Lady Gay.—A profuse bloomer of 
soft cherry pink flowers which fade 
to blush white. When in flower with 
its cherry pink buds, soft pink flowers and rich 
green foliage, it presents a picture beyond 
words to describe. 

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. 

Philadelphia.—A seedling of the Crimson 
Rambler, but blooms earlier and with larger, 
more brilliant flowers. 

Silver Moon.—A rose in a class by itself. 
So strong a grower, it is a giant. Has abun- 
dant innumerable very beautiful nankeen yel- 
low pointed buds in June, which open into 
pure silver white blossoms, four inches or more 
in diameter. 

Tausendschoen (Thousand Beauties). — A 
fine rose indeed. From early June until well 
into July it is literally covered with clusters 
of semi-double flowers of varied shades of deep 
to light pink and white. (Illustrated above). 

Vondel.—Many clusters of clear light pink 
flowers with creamy white centers are pro- 
duced from June until frost. A true “Ever- 
blooming Rose.” 

Wichuraiana (Memorial Rose).—A_ perfect 
trailer with dense dark glossy green foliage 
and single pure white flowers. Each 60c.: 
dozen, $6.00. 

White Dorothy Perkins—A sport of the 
popular Dorothy Perkins, and like it in every 
way except its flowers are white. Free in 
bloom and with disease-resistant foliage.

For Small Fruits 


eA Slogan and Lts Neanine 


7 OR nearly fifty years we have specialized in Small 

y Fruits. Doing one job well proved quite an under- 

_! taking in the relatively new field of producing qual- 

ity berry plants in quantities. [hat we have succeeded ina 

large measure is partly due to the persistency of the 

founder of this business, who believed that America would 

become the great garden country which it ultimately 
will be. 


Today we grow greater quantities of higher grade berry 
plants than are obtainable elsewhere. On our farms here 
in Little Silver and elsewhere we literally produce millions 
of Grape Vines, Blackberries and Raspberries, not to men- 
tion Strawberries, in the pot-grown product of which we 
specialize. But a few short years ago the growing and 
shipping of half a million pot-grown Strawberry plants 
would have constituted quite an item by itself. Today 
it constitutes but a small part of our summer and fall 
activity. 


All this is not mentioned in a boastful spirit, but rather in 
an endeavor to get you to understand our business and 
learn to look to 


Lovett’s for Small Fruits 


and material for your fall planting campaign
