TRUE-TO-NAME STRAWBERRY PLANTS

Wlilard (Frances E.). This is a new variety, first introduced 

 — — — . by M. Crawford Co., of Ohio, who describe it as 

 follows: "This variety first came to our knowledge when the 

 originator sent us a basket of fruit in June, 1912. The. berries 

 were about the size and shape of eggs, a beautiful glossy red in 

 color, and of fine quality. The fruit so impressed us as being 

 superior in all that goes to make a perfect berry that we purchased 

 the whole stock from the originator." With us last summer the 

 plants made a strong, vigorous growth of foliage that showed 

 absolutely no sign of disease. Last spring we had a few plants 

 left for fruiting. They produced a heavy crop of berries that, 

 while somewhat irregular in shape, were of large size and very 

 handsome appearance. The quality was good and we believe the 

 variety is going to prove valuable. Its large size and excellent qual- 

 ity make Willard a desirable market variety. Price, S4 per 1,000 



WoolvertOll ^ ter fruiting the Woolverton for many years 



we find it to be one of the most reliable of the 



old standard kinds. It bears an abundance of fine, large berries 

 and will succeed better than most varieties on light soil, and has 

 a long ripening season. It is no unusual thing to see ripe berries 

 and blossoms on the plants at the same time. Price, $3.50 per 

 1,000. 



York ^ new var ' er y lrom Pennsylvania which ranks high in 



* productiveness. The eating quality is simply delicious. 



It makes a vigorous healthy growth, with luxuriant dark green 

 foliage. The berries are long-pointed in shape and medium in 

 size. Try a few in the garden. You will like it. Price, S4 per 

 1,000.

ALLEN'S PLANTS BRING BETTER RESULTS 

 The berry plants bought from you last spring came to hand 

 in good condition and were fine plants. Nearly every plant 

 lived and at the end of the season were as fine-looking a bed 

 as you could wish to see. I think you will understand, when 

 I say that they were fully up to the Allen standard, and from 

 present appearances. I think I can expect a good crop next 

 summer. I have found that Allen's plants bring better result? 

 for me than any others I have ever tried, and shall send you an 

 order later. With thanks 

 for square dealing in the 



past and feeling sure of vk^^l Sfe^^ ^J?

IT WILL PAY YOU TO READ THIS 

 It has been several years since I sent you my first order. I 

 have never forgotten how delighted I was with my little patch 

 of berries and have always talked Allen's plants to my friends. 

 I keep your catalog here at the station and if I hear of anyone 

 wanting plants, I show it to them. That is how I landed Mr. 



■ and he is surely a pleased customer of yours. I have 



shown it to some people and they promised to 



Vgive you their order, but sent it out West or 

 some other place and, if they come to me to 

 kick about their plants. I generally tell them if 

 they had sent it to you, there would not 

 M have been any kick coming. — H. E. Gil-

KNOWS FROM EXPERIENCE 

 HOW FINER PLANTS ARE 

 GROWN 



I bought my first order of plants 

 Crom you several years ago and 

 they were the first I 

 ever bought from 

 anyone, and fine 

 plants they were. 

 I know now from 

 experience that they 

 do not grow any 

 finer plants any-
