ALLEN'S STRAWBERRY PLANT CATALOGUE. 15 



HOFFMAN. — Has been the favorite in the South for many years, and it 

 carries so well, that marketraen are continually inquiring for it, and it usually 

 brings the highest market price on this account. We have not found it pro- 

 ductive on sandy soil, but on stiff land, not too poor, it will bear a very good 

 crop of berries that will bring the highest market price. The accompanying 

 illustration is the best that has ever been made of the variety. Our stock of 

 this has been carefully selected for several years, and is strictly pure and first- 

 class every way. 



HAVERLAND. — This grand old varietv has made a place for itself near 

 the head of the list, solelv on its merits. Well do I remember somewhere about 

 twenty years ago when it was first offered Little was said about it at the 

 time, and in fact it has never been boomed by anyone, yet it has steadily work- 

 ed its way, and today it is one of the largest sellers that w« have in the list. 

 While I plant largely of it, and always have a good stock, we never have any 

 left. The Jlaverland. while a pistillate variety, is one of the easiest to pollen- 

 ize. It has a strong, vigorous, healthy plant, makes ample beds, and is very 

 productive. Under favorable conditions, I have seen this variety average a9 

 large as guinea eggs. The variety is tinn enough to ship well, and is a good re- 

 liable sort to plant.
