Allen. Two or three sorts with this name were disseminated by 

 L. F. Allen, of Black Rock, N. Y. The canes are strong, erect, 

 very hardy, and sucker profusely. When kept free from suck- 

 ers, they have produced good crops in some localities, of me- 

 dium-sized, red, pleasant fruit.

 of good quality. A very popular and profitable market sort in 

 New Jersey and elsewhere. Canes low, and of a stout dwarf 

 habit.

 soft, quality very good. Canes strong, light green, spines few.
