Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lovett's Illustrated Autumn Catalogue, 1895: Bulbs, Trees, Plants
Considerable fruit is grown on the large area, and the necessity for the use of many crates and baskets resulted in the erection of a factory for their manufacture. Mr. Lovett. Is a cautious, progressive business man, and has built up this business by careful attention to the wants of his customers, by liberal but intelligent advertising, and by indefatigable effort and a constant personal attention to the details of the business.
American gardening is pleased to show its readers a likeness of the man whose name is familiar to all fruit-growers and in present ing also the features of Mrs. Lovett we offer no apology for the radical departure from custom. We have long believed that too little credit is given to the women who have been the wise counsellors, and in many cases the safety-valves, to our most prominent nurserymen and horticulturists. Together Mr. And Mrs. Lovett have worked and plan ned, and now that in early middle life they are enjoying the fruits of their labor, surely the. Credit is due to both.
