ALLEN'S BOOK OF BERRIES— 1924 



Missionary — A very 

 popular market 

 berry for long 

 distance ship- 

 ping. 



Especially recom- 

 mended for the 

 South. 



MISSIONARY. A good standard medium early market berry for sections having 

 long distances to ship. It is the most widely grown variety in Florida. The fancy 

 berries we see on the Northern markets selling at high prices about Christmas time 

 are largely Florida Missionary. This variety will do well on any kind of soil, but it 

 is especially adapted to light, sandy soils where a productive variety is needed and 

 where berries must be shipped some distance. Price list page 35. 



SENATOR DUNLAP. (Dr. Burrill). Probably the most widely grown berry 

 throughout the country north of the Mason and Dixon line, unless it is Premier. Sen- 

 ator Dunlap is universally a favorite. It does well on any type of soil in any locality. 

 The plants are rather small and on rich land should be kept thinned somewhat to se- 

 cure best fruit. They have long f brous roots which make them good drought resisters. 

 Berries medium to large in size, bright rich red clear through and of fne quality. The 

 blossoms are perfect and produce a lot of pollen making Dunlap one of the best to plant 

 with Haverland, Paul Jones or Warfeld. For the inexperienced grower Dunlap is 

 safe._ For the experienced grower Dunlap is one of the best, if not the best, of the 

 medium early varieties. It has been tried and found worthy. Price list page 35. 



Tennessee Prolific. A fairly vigorous grower. Perfect blossoms. Very pro- 

 ductive of medium-sized, good quality berries, which are rather light in color. Good 

 for home use or local market, but not firm enough to stand shipping. Price list page 35.
