ALLEN'S STRAWBERRY PLANT CATALOGUE. 



19 



NEW YORK.— This variety, which I first offered to the public in the spring 

 of 1899, has given great satisfaction in all parts of the country where tried. 

 Many of mv customers perhaps remember that several years ago I offered 8100. 

 in gold for od« dozen plants of any variety that would surpass the Glen Mary. 

 No variety came arjywhere near capturing the game, except a variety sent by 

 Miss Martha G. Yates, Tompkins Co., New York, which has since been named 

 the "New York". It may be, that everyone will not consider tbe New York a 

 better berry than Glen Mary. Different berries give different results in differ- 

 ent localities, and it requires different berries to satisfy different demands and 

 different tastes. I felt however, after seeing the two varieties fruited side by 

 side, that Miss Yates was entitled to the prize, in as much as the New York 

 equaled the Glen Mary in every respect as pertained to plant, growth, being 

 large, strong and vigorous, and without a spot of rust or blemish on the foliage. 

 It was equal to Glen Mary in productiveness and size, and in its taste at least, 

 we think it rather superior. We have never grown the New York extensively 

 for fruit however, until last spring, when I fruited 10 acres. Such large 

 quantities of beautiful delicious berries as were gathered from this patch, was a 

 sight worth traveling miles to see. They are not as firm as the average large 

 berry, and our Boston receivers fpoke of this several times, notwithstanding, 

 we shipped almost our entire crop to Boston a distance of about 500 miles, and 

 we noticed that New York sold about as well as any variety we shipped, in fact.
