Tue W. F. ALLEN Co., Salisbury, Md. 29 
year. We have the best stock of Lupton plants we have had for several years. 
Price-list, page 35. 
McALPIN. Very vigorous grower which must be kept thinned for best re- 
sults. Will make a satisfactory plant bed and grow a good crop of fruit on light, 
poor land, altho it responds wonderfully to better land and greater fertility. The 
berries are medium in size, bright scarlet in color and unexcelled in quality, equaled 
only by Big Late, Chesapeake and Wm. Belt. After a heavy rain during picking 
time, McAlpin will have less sand and dirt on the berries than any variety we 
have. If kept thinned, McAlpin will make a vigorous growth and produce a good 
crop of nice berries, altho the foliage tends to rust badly during a wet season.

NEW YORK. Is the sweetest strawberry grown. The plant is a vigorous 
grower. Foliage is very healthy and the plants are quite productive. Berries are 
medium to large in size, dark red in color, and as stated above, the sweetest straw- 
berry grown. It is the only strawberry we know that is sweet before it gets ripe. 
A favorite with many for the home garden. We have many calls for New York 
from those whose kealth does not permit them to eat berries which are in any 
way tart or acid in quality. Price-list, page 35. 
NICK OHMER. Vigorous growing late variety most popular in California 
and parts of the South. Berries are very handsome, resembling Aroma somewhat, 
but better in quality. The blossoms are perfect. Price-list, page 35. 
SAMPLE. This is another old variety which has stood the test of time and 
is still ranked by many as the best late strawberry grown. Berries uniform, bright 
red color, large in size, very fine flavor and attractive appearance. Not real firm, 
but for local or nearby market, Sample has proven a money maker for many 
growers. Enormously productive and does well on a wide range of soils. Seems 
to be most popular in Middle and Northern States. Very hardy and nearly always 
produces a crop. Blossoms are imperfect and should be planted with Big Joe, 
Eaton, McAlpin or Aroma. Many growers still get fine results from Sample and 
will continue to grow it. We havea fine stock of plants for them. We would prefer 
Big Late, but, realizing as we do how much different climate and soil can influence 
varieties, we can readily see why many still grow Sample. Price-list, page 35. 
WM. BELT. On most markets size and appearance of strawberries determine 
the selling price, but where quality is counted in addition to large size and hand- 
some appearance, Wm. Belt should be grown. This variety is the standard of 
excellence for quality. Berries average large in size, somewhat irregular in shape 
as shown in the picture, but they have an attractive cap and the berries them- 
selves are a bright, glossy red which makes them very handsome. This variety 
does best in the Middle and Northern States, and whether used in the garden, for 
local market, or nearby shipping, Wm. Belt is a friend to the strawberry grower 
and, on account of its quality, an even better friend to the strawberry consumer. 
Many growers are using Wm. Belt to extend the season after Chesapeake, or to 
take its place where they have tried Chesapeake and found the land not suited to 
that variety. When grown in the home garden or for local market where real eat- 
ing quality is appreciated, Wm. Belt should not be left out. Price-list, page 35.
