ALLEN'S STRAWBERRY PLANT CATALOGUE. 



TENNESSEE PROLIFIC— Large, good color, productive, free from rusts 

 and ranks among the best in the strawberry list. It is a seedling of Sharpies, 

 and Crescent, showing the parentage of both; fruit being somewhat similar to 

 the former in shape, color and size, and very much like the latter in its vigorous 

 healthy growth of vines. The leaves however, are larger than those of the 

 Crescent, and a lighter shade of green. It is one of the most productive varieties 

 in the list of standard berries, and is largely grown by the commercial grower. 

 Last year we could supply out little more than half the demand for this variety. 

 I wish to say, however, to any that were disappointed last season in getting this 

 berry, that I think I have enough now to supply all who want it this spring. 



MONITOR.— Originated on the grounds of Mr. Z. T. Russell, of Carthage, 

 Mo., in 1893, It was introduced in 1900 by Dr. Beal of Mo. It is a very fine 

 grower, and makes an abundance of plants with very green foliage, free from 

 rust, and will almost equal Senator Dunlap as a plant maker. Dr. Beal de- 

 scribes this berry as follows: "It has all the productiveness of the Crescent, and 

 beautiful vigorous foliage of Cap. Jack, and is much larger and more firm than 

 the Cumberland. It is a fine plant maker, foliage being so luxuriant, that the 

 berries never suffer from the hot sunshine. The blossoms are perfect, being 

 unusually rich in pollen." This variety has not fruited here yet. 



WARFIELD.— It is very productive, of medium size, highly colored, and 

 very firm berries. The color and good carrying qualities combine to make it an 

 attractive market variety. For canning it is one of the best. This is especially 

 popular with the Western growers. My stock of this variety is especially fine.
