does best in the Middle and Northern States, and whether used in the garden, for 

 local market, or nearby shipping, Wm. Belt is a friend to the strawberry grower 

 and, on account of its quality, an even better friend to the strawberry consumer. 

 Many growers are using Wm. Belt to extend the season after Chesapeake, or to 

 take its place where they have tried Chesapeake and found the land not suited 

 to that variety. When grown in the home garden or for local market where real 

 eating quality is appreciated, Wm. Belt should not be left out. Price-list page 35.

Gandy — sells with Chesapeake 



Very Late Varieties 



Gandy. This variety for years has ranked as a leader among the fancy late 

 shipping berries. If Gandy were only a little more productive, it would continue 

 to hold a place at the very top. Gandy likes black, swampy land or springy land 

 that is not too sandy. We believe Gandy is the only late-shipping berry that 

 equals Chesapeake in size, attractiveness and shipping qualities. It usually sells 

 about with Chesapeake, but is not as good in quality and not as productive. This 

 would be more important on a local or nearby market. Gandy is a good grower 

 and it is no trouble to get a good fruiting bed. Price-list page 35. 



Orem. This is the latest berry we have. The berries average large in size, 

 are of good quality and handsome in appearance. They sell well because they come 

 after all other fancy, late berries are past their prime. Many growers want Orem 

 because it is so very late, but we feel that Wm. Belt is easier to grow, produces 

 berries equally large and better in quality. It lasts almost as long, but not quite, 

 as the Orem. Our stock of plants of this variety is fine in quality but limited in 

 quantity. Price-list page 35. 



ALLEN'S PLANTS "COME THRU" IN KENTUCKY 



Fayette Co., Ky., Jan. 7, 1926. 



I am in receipt of your nice "Book of Berries", for which accept many thanks. The 600 plants 



I ordered from you 2 years ago were quite a success to me. I hauled to Lexington, some of the finest 



berries in the last 2 years that I ever saw in that city. Many others that saw them said the same 



thing. My bed is in fine shape. If I conclude to set any this spring, I will certainly give you my order.
