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



Commonwealth. 



A product of Massachu- 

 setts and a variety especi- 

 ally recommended for the 

 northern and middle 

 states. For best results it 

 should be given rich 

 soil and high culture. 

 It grows fairly well here 

 and the berries are of 

 good quality, large size, 

 and high color. It is well 

 worth a trial where high 

 culture can be given. 

 Price, $5 per 1,000.

First Quality. The flavor makes you want more berries 



have been sending out new runners continuously 

 for the past three months and it looks like they 

 would continue to do so until fall." Mr. C. E. 

 Schuldt, of Somerset County, Pennsylvania, says: 

 "In the spring of 1915 I bought some Chesapeake 

 Strawberry plants of you. They have had a pretty 

 fair crop this season and people went almost wild 

 over them. They think they are the finest and best 

 they ever saw." The Geneva, New York, Experi- 

 ment Station says: "Among the many varieties 

 tested on the station grounds Chesapeake stands 

 among the few kinds at the top. This variety was 

 introduced by Mr. W. F. Allen, Salisbury, 

 Maryland, in 1906. Its parentage is un- 

 known. It is unfortunate that in some sec- 

 tions plants not true to name are being 

 sent out for this variety." You cannot 

 afford to be without this great variety 

 and you should get your plants 

 from the introducers so that 

 you can be sure they will be 

 true to name. We have 

 a big stock but the de- 

 mand is enormous, as it 

 naturally would be on 

 such a variety as this. 

 Order early and have 

 them shipped when you 

 want them. Price, $5 

 per 1,000. 



berries and 



this is a variety that will 

 give great satisfaction. 

 We know of no variety 

 that produces a heavier 

 crop than Fendall. Fif- 

 teen thousand quarts per 

 acre of Fendall, fruited with Aroma, were reported 

 by one of our Indiana customers. The berries are 

 large in size; the flesh is rich in color, smooth and 

 glossy, and described by some as being "perfectly 

 beautiful." The large caps add to its attractiveness. 

 Fendall is a strong grower with luxuriant light green 

 foliage. The blossoms are imperfect and should be 

 planted with Aroma, Big Joe, Ekey, Three W's, or 

 some other good perfect-flowering variety. Fendall, 

 like Haverland, is unable to hold up the great 

 bunches of fruit off the ground and should be well 

 mulched on this account. The berries bring a good 

 price on the market and, being such a 

 heavy producer, it proves itself a 

 money-maker, wherever grown. Price, 

 $5 per 1,000. 



First Qu ality. We have fruited

variety several times

 that the introducer 

 claims. We consider 

 it one of the promising 

 new varieties of re-

 this in the 

 northern and 

 New England 

 states and we
