TRUE-TONAME STRAWBERRY PLANTS 



17 



Superb. Bears large crops ot handsome berries 



SUPERB. Next to Progressive, we consider 



Superb the most valuable of the 



everbearing varieties. In some sections, especially 

 through the North, Superb has proven to be even 

 better than the Progressive, but throughout the 

 South, no everbearing variety but the Progressive 

 should be planted. Superb will grow well, but it 

 will not produce fruit like the Progressive. The 

 Superb and Progressive are about equal in plant- 

 growth. Superb produces fruit that is somewhat 

 larger than the Progressive, but it does not produce 

 anything like the amount the Progressive does, and 

 the Superb berries are not quite so good in quality. 

 We have a large stock of Superb and we have quite 

 a demand for the plants, largely because in some 

 sections it is the best everbearer to grow and also 

 because it is one of the best spring-bearing varieties 

 that we have grown, bearing heavy crops of berries 

 that somewhat resemble the Chesapeake. Where 

 Superb can be grown successfully, it is an excellent 

 proposition both for the home garden and for 

 market, 25 cts. to 35 cts. being an ordinary price 

 for the fruit on a good market. Price, $10 per 1,000. 



Amei"icUS. Unsurpassed in quality. With us 



' it has been rather hard to grow and, 



even after grown, has proven to be a rather shy 

 bearer. For those who can afford to raise a con- 

 siderable number of plants for the satisfaction of 

 eating in August, September, and October, some of 

 the finest quality of Strawberries that can be grown, 

 Americus is the variety. Price, 60 cts. for 25, $1.10 

 for 50, Si. 55 for 75, $2 per 100. 



Peerless ^ new everDearm g variety, intro- 

 - duced by Samuel Cooper, of New 

 York. Mr. Cooper also introduced the Superb and 

 in comparison he says: "Peerless is better than 

 Superb, being a more vigorous grower, more pro- 

 ductive of somewhat larger size fruit and fully 

 equal to Superb in quality." If, as Mr. Cooper 

 says, Peerless is better than Superb in places where 

 Superb does well, it is a very valuable variety, 

 indeed. We recommend it for trial, and wish our 

 friends would tell us of their tests. We paid $25 

 per 100 for our stock of Peerless last spring and 

 are offering them to the public at S.s per 100. 

 Price, S2 for 25. $3 for 50, $4 for 75, S5 per 100. 



PROUD TO GROW OUR PLANTS 



I have been getting Strawberry plants from you ever since 

 you have been in the business and can say with pride that 

 everything has been satisfactory-. I assure you when needing 

 Strawberry plants I will remember you. — G. E. Geise. Colbert 

 County, Ala.. January 14, 1916. 



SAYS OUR PLANTS ARE THE BEST 



I liked your berry plants and had such fine berries from them. 

 I tried other berries but yours were the best. — Mrs. D. O. 

 Wendt, Appanoose County, Iowa. February 16. 1916. 



I ASSURE YOU THERE ARE NONE BETTER 



I don't know that your plants are the best grown, but they 

 were the finest I ever bought, and it seems that they are about 

 to monopolize the trade in this neighborhood. — C. R. Coble, 

 Shelby County, Term., March 1, 1916. 



THEY INSPIRE CONFIDENCE 

 When I order plants from "Allen" I never wonder what the 

 quality will be, for I feel sure they will come in A No. 1 con- 

 dition, as they have always done.. — F. L. Smith, Logan County, 

 Ky., January 15, 1916. 



GREW OVER A FOOT HIGH 



The plants I received from you were fine ones and were in 

 good shape when they were received. They made a wonderful 

 growth last summer. Some of the Chesapeake grew plants 

 over a foot high. — Chas. S. Watkins, Elmore County, Idaho, 

 March 10, 1916. 



DISTANCE NO BARRIER 



Shipping had no effect on the plants you sent me. They did 

 just as well as the plants I raised and that were set out as 

 fast as they were dug. — Royal M. Garn. Sandusky County, 

 Ohio, January' 14. 19 16.
