Description

J. T. Lovett Co. — Raspberries.
LOVETT or $1000.00 RASPBERRY.
The canes a7-e of vigorous growth, the tallest being over six feet. The berries are borne in short
racemes somewhat like those of Gregg, are nearly as large, black, glossy with some bloom around the
base of the di-upelets. They are as firm as it is desii-ahle a blackcap should be, and never drop from the
receptacle. There was no marked difference in earliness between the Palmer, Progress and Lovett.
Judged from the first season of fruiting, it is an improvement, all things considered, over any variety
we have tned."— Rural New Yorker, in Notes from the Rural Grounds."
The Lovett Raspberry, which could with propriety have been named Lovett's Thornless (being practically
destitute of thorns) has, the past season, fully sustained, in a fruiting field of six acres, all that has been
claimed for it; and taken all in all has proved itself to b& by far the best black raspberry that has as yet
been put upon the market. Unlike the Gregg, which it nearly equals in size of berries, it is of Ironclad
hardiness; and is the strongest in growth of cane of any, unless possibly the Ohio excepted. In enormous
yield it is without an equal. Add to these properties superior quality, jet black color, firmness and long
life after gathered, adhering to the bush when ripe, and above all, its earliness (ripeninff with Souhegan
and the other very early sorts) and we have in it, what has so long been wanted and a most valuable fruit.
So far from regretting our outlay of $1,000.00 for the control of this berry, we now congratulate ourselves
on our good fortune in securing it for that sum. It is entirely distinct from all other sorts. We have now
fruited the variety for three seasons and know positively that it possesses the merits claimed for it.
Price, dozen, $2.00; lOO, $10.00; lOOO, $75. OO.

    • Transplanted, plants, dozen, $2.50; lOO, S12.00.

Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
