ALLEN S STRAWBERRY PLANT CATALOGUE. 



THE TWO N. S- This illustration 



EXTREMES* ^^^ ^^^ u used t0 show that 



^^** M **^*^ there may be as much 



difference in quality of plants as there is in price. You may see in one cata- 

 logue 1000 strawberry plants of a certain variety offered for $1.25. (I have seen 

 them offered as low as that). You will turn to another catalogue and you may 

 see the game variety listed at $4.00 per 1000 "1000 Brandywine strawberry 

 plants" and "1000 Brandywine strawberry i lants 1 ' look exactly alike in print, 

 but when you see the object and not merely the name in print there is some- 

 times a very great contrast, as for instance in above photograph both plants are 

 of the Glen Mary variety. If one party were offering Gien Mary Strawberry 

 plants at $2.00 per 1000 and furnishing plants similar to those at the right of 

 above illustration and another were offering Glen Mary plants at $4 00 per 1000 

 and furnishing plants like the vigorous healthy plant at the left of illustration 

 which would be the cheaper V Which would you buy if you were looking at 

 the plants when you bought? Now I do not wi-h to be understood to say that 

 all my plants are as large as the o- p illustrated on the left or that all of any 

 that you might buy ever so cheap would be as small as the little plant to the 

 right!, but I wish to show that there is a big difference in plants as well as in 

 prices and it is not always and in f«ct it seldom happens that the cheapest 

 plants per 1000 are really the cheapest in the end. Good plants are what we all 

 want and the best is none too good.
