THE W. F. ALLEN CO., SALISBURY, MD. 



MID-SEASON STRAWBERRIES, continued 



over 1,000 crates of 24 full quarts; besides there 

 were fully 200 crates I had to let go on account of 

 the heavy rains. The growers around here seem to 

 think well of the Rewastico, and I would like quo- 

 tations on several hundred thousand plants." In 

 addition to its value as a shipping berry, we believe 

 Rewastico would make an excellent canning berry. 

 Let us have your order for Rewastico early, so that 

 we can reserve the plants for you. Price, $4 per 



1 ,000.

berries, which are rather long and light in color, 

 closely resembling the Haverland. It is an excellent 

 shipper. It is claimed that berries, kept a week in 

 a common cellar, were exhibited at the Worcester 

 County Horticultural Society in Massachusetts by 

 the side of fresh-picked berries and that the only 

 difference in appearance was the added richness in 

 color in the week-old berries. We are going to plant 

 heavily of this for fruiting purposes and we advise 

 our customers to include this in their plantings. Big 

 Joe, Rewastico, Saunders, Twilley, Ekey, Longfellow, 

 and Gold Dollar are all good varieties to plant with 

 the Paul Jones. Price, $4 per 1,000. 



The berries of this variety 

 are a light cardinal-red, uni- 

 formly large and regular in shape. The fruit is very 

 firm in texture and will stand shipment to distant 

 markets. The quality is rich with an aromatic 

 Strawberry flavor though somewhat tart. One of 

 our Kansas customers, who bought 25,000 plants 

 in the spring of 1915, fruited the Rewastico last 

 spring. He says: "I certainly am well pleased with 

 the Rewastico. I started picking June 1 and picked 

 the last time, June 22. Fro m t he four acres I got

of the few varieties that give best results on medium 

 or light soils. It is a good berry, and no one would 

 go far wrong in planting it. The fruit is large and 

 dark glossy red, very firm and of good flavor. Price, 

 $3.50 per 1,000. 



Seems to be espe- 

 cially popular around 



Tennessee Prolific. 



Washington, D. C, and the surrounding country. 

 As indicated by its name, it is very prolific. The 

 berries are of large size and rather light in color. 

 The flesh is fine grained and firm enough to make a 

 good shipper. It is equally popular as a canner. 

 Tennessee Prolific has been on the market about 

 thirty years and the demand for it today is as great 

 as ever. The blossoms are perfect and make one of 

 the best staminate varieties to plant with medium- 

 early, or mid-season pistillate varieties. Price, $3.50 

 per 1,000. 



Tfiv£>f> W'c Took first prize in the World's 

 inrgc wv a. Fair at gt Louis and made a 



record of keeping ten days. The plants are large, 

 robust, and amply able to produce big crops. The 

 fruit is large, of fine quality, produces very freely, 

 covering a long season from medium early to late. 

 The blossoms of Three W's are very resistant to late 

 frosts, seldom being affected by them. This point 

 makes it especially valuable in the North and, as it 

 is one of the strongest pollenizers of imperfect va- 

 rieties, it is widely used to pollenize such varieties 

 as Sample, Bubach, Haverland, Paul Jones, Hustler, 

 etc. Price, $3.50 per 1,000. 



AND YOU SHALL NEVER REGRET IT 



I have always been much pleased with the way my 



orders have been handled by W. F.Allen and always 



have received plants of excellent quality. As long as 



I grow berries, I guess Allen will get my orders 



for plants. — H. F. Pittenger,
