ALLEN'S BOOK OF BERRIES— 1923 



New York. This is the sweetest strawberry grown. The plant is a vigorous 

 grower. The foliage is very healthy and the plants are quite productive. The berries 

 are medium to large in size, dark red in color, and as stated above, the sweetest straw- 

 berry grown. It is the only strawberry we know that is sweet before it gets ripe. It 

 is a favorite with many for the home garden. 



Parson's Beauty. Same description as for Gibson. Both varieties produce a 

 great quantity of berries that are dark in color and part easily from the cap. This 

 fact, and their rich dark red color make them fine for canning and preserving. Price 

 list page 35. 



SAMPLE. The berries are a perfect strawberry type, bright red in color, uniformly 

 large in size, delicious in flavor and very attractive in appearance. It is very productive 

 and firm enough to ship. Blossoms imperfect. Plant with it Aroma, Big Joe or Magic 

 Gem. It is a very hardy variety, making it especially popular in the Northern States. 

 Sample has stood the acid test of time and found to be pure gold. 



There are many other growers who consider Sample the best and most productive 

 variety grown and there will always be those who plant it heavy on account of its real 

 worth. We have a limited quantity of this variety and order should be placed early 

 so that plants can be reserved. Price list page 35. 



Our Way. 



Sequatchie Co., Tenn., April 4, 1922. 

 My plants set out the first part of March are all living and in bloom The count was over the num- 

 ber, the packing the best. I thank you and will want more next spring. I gave the over plants to a 

 neighbor. 160 plants and all living. Ed. C. Cowles. 



More Than Pleased. 



Howard Co., Md., April 17, 1922. 

 It gives me quite a pleasure to state that the plants arrived in very nice shape, and we had every- 

 thing ready to plant them when they arrived. We have a perfect stand. Don't think I will lose one 

 in 1000. I am certainly more than pleased with them. J. W. Disney, Jr. 



Everbearers Doing Fine. 



Charles Co., Md., July 5, 1922. 

 The 500 Progressive plants we got from you first of April are beautiful. We have had lots of berries 

 and they are now full of bloom and small berries. Three weeks after they were planted the little bushes 

 were loaded with blooms. Mrs. Pere Wilmer, Jr.
