ALLEN'S STRAWBERRY PLANT CATALOGUE. 



named. Glen Mary is a semi staminate and while it is alright to plant alone 

 I do not advise its use to plant with pistillate varieties. I have b^en a-ked for 

 above information so often I have it printed here for the information of all. 



J\ mode! Young Plant. 



This plant is the offspring of a heal- 

 thy parent that was well cultivated 

 and not starved out. Neither was the 

 parent of these plants allowed to bear 

 fruit or grow among weeds either of 

 which is very detrimental to the health 

 and vigor of a strawberry plant. Now 

 friends don't understand me to say that 

 all my plants are as heavily rooted as 

 this one for they are not. "While I have 

 millions of plants as good as this one 

 quite a number of varieties will not 

 make thick stocky plants like this. 

 Among that class I might name Cres 

 cent, Excelsior, Hoffman, Mitchel's 

 Early, Splendid. Senator Dunlap and 

 Warfield, While these varieties have 

 some plants as large and stocky as the 

 one here illustrated on the average 

 they are not so large, but all of my 

 plants are grown in good land from 

 healthy vigorous plants that are never 

 allowed to bear fruit or to associate 

 with weeds. They are grown in light 

 sandv loam and in digging we get 

 nearly all the young fibrous roots 

 with the plant which is impossible 

 when plants are grown in sticky clay 

 soil. 



It sometimes happens that I send 

 two catalogues to one address. If 

 you should receive more than one 

 copy, please hand the extra one to * j^k 

 some friend who will be interested 

 n it. {
