TRUE-TONAME STRAWBERRY**^ ANTS

well known by the majority of Strawberry 

 this variety regardless of how thoroughly 

 pollen to fruit its own berries, we believe 

 by planting with it some strong 

 pollenizer, such as Big Joe, Ekey, 

 Rewastico, or Gold Dollar. One 

 of our New Jersey customers 

 says: "The Glen Alary is the 

 only variety with which I have 

 made a success." And we often 

 have reports similar to this 

 about Glen Mary. Given the 

 same treatment, we doubt if 

 there is any variety in the 

 country that will produce more 

 quarts to the acre than Glen 

 Mary. Not only is it a very 

 heavy cropper, but the berries 

 are of such quality and attrac- 

 tiveness that they bring top price 

 on the market. Our stock of 

 Glen Mary this year gives prom- 

 ise of being unusually fine and 

 we should like all of our custom- 

 ers and others who read this 

 catalog, especially those in the 

 North, to include it in their order 

 next spring. Price, $4 per i ,000. 



THE SECRET OF SUCCESS 

 The Strawberry- plants I received 

 from you last spring have done fine, as 

 all the plants I ever bought of you 

 nave done. I have never had an occa- 

 sion to enter any complaint, and I have 

 been buying plants from you for the 

 last eighteen years. One great secret 

 of success in growing Strawberries is 

 to get your plants in the ground early. 

 Then tend to them well.— Geo. P. 

 McFarland. Chester County, Pa., 

 January 24, 1916.

GLEN MARY. 9 r i ■« : 



mated 



in Pennsylvania and introduced 

 by Mr. W. F. Allen twenty years 

 ago. Since then it has be- 

 come very popular through- 

 out New England and the 

 northern half of the United 

 States. Many growers consider 

 it the most profitable of all va- 

 rieties to grow on account of its 

 great productiveness. Some of 

 our customers have reported 

 more than 10,000 quarts per acre 

 from this variety. The berry is 

 firm enough for distant ship- 

 ment; it is of handsome appear- 

 ance and good quality. For this 

 reason it is popular both as a 

 fancy local-market berry and as 

 a shipper. The fruit is of large 

 size, dark red in color, with 

 prominent seeds of bright yellow. 

 The meat is rich and juicy and 

 of such high flavor that when 

 once eaten more is wanted. 

 Glen Mary is a strong grower 

 which makes large, healthy 

 plants with an abundance of 

 dark green foliage. The blos- 

 soms are about half-perfect but 

 carry enough pollen to fruit its 

 own berries. Glen Mary is so 

 -growers, that those who have grown it will continue to plant 

 we shall describe it. Although Glen Mary produces enough 

 the yield can be increased and the size of the fruit increased
