THE W. F. ALLEN CO., SALISBURY, MD. 23 



Late Varieties 



AROMA. The leading fancy market berry in many sections. Vigorous grower, 

 very productive. Berries large in size, rich in color and of fine quality. A handsome 

 bright green cap increases the beauty and selling price of the berries which are very 

 firm and will carry to market in excellent condition. Blossoms perfect. In many 

 sections where large quantities of berries are shipped the Aroma is the only variety 

 grown. It is a good one to plant with Sample, Fendall and other imperfect flowering 

 varieties of its season. Aroma has made many a dollar for those who grow it. 



BIG LATE. Ranks at the top with Premier and Paul Jones in productiveness. 

 It is a very vigorous grower and wonderful producer. The great crop of berries average 

 large in size. The berries are shaped somewhat like Aroma and resemble somewhat 

 that very handsome berry. Big Late is the glossiest berry we have ever seen. They 

 have prominent seeds like the Chesapeake. In quality Big Late ranks with the best. 

 McAlpin, Chesapeake and Wm. Belt. The berries are produced in great clusters on 

 strong healthy stems. Without hesitation, we recommend Big Late as one of the best 

 late berries grown. In plant growth, in productiveness, in size, in appearance and in 

 quality, it ranks high. Blossoms imperfect. We have fruited it successfully with 

 McAlpin and we recommend McAplin and Big Joe as the best varieties to plant with 

 Big Late. Price list page 35. 



Big Wonder. A new variety fruited by us for the first time in 1923. It is a vigor- 

 ous grower and produces a good crop of good size berries, dark red in color, and 

 of good quality. This variety, like several others which we have fruited this year for 

 the first time, was under a handicap because of the weather. We had not a single rain 

 from the time we started picking until the season was entirely over. Our plants of 

 Big Wonder are especially fine this year, and we can supply those who want to try it 

 out with some good stock. 



Brandywine. An old standard variety that is very popular with some growers. 

 It does well both North and South and it is one of the best varieties grown in Bermuda, 

 in Cuba, in Florida and other semi-tropical sections. We rarely have enough of plants 

 of this variety as those who order it at all usually like it so well they usually order in 

 large quantities. Vigorous grower, blossoms perfect. Berries large in size, firm enough 

 to ship and very good in quality. Price list page 35. 



Bun Special. . A strong healthy grower which we fruited in 1923 for the first 

 time. Like several other varieties which we fruited for the first time last year, Bun 

 Special was handicapped by weather conditions. It set a large crop of fruit but the ber- 

 ries were not larger than medium in size, and not all of them matured. It may do 

 better under different soil and weather conditions. Price list page 35. 



That's Fine. Thank You. 



Talbot Co., Md., February 14, 1923. 

 Your plants are the healthiest and most livable ones 1 have ever used and when 1 think of Straw- 

 berries the name "Allen Grown" always appeals to me. Mrs. J. O. Kemp. 



We Hope They Do. We Think They Will. 



Belmont, Co., Ohio, May 7, 1923. 

 The plants came to hand today and have been set out, we were pleased with them, see no reason 

 why every one of them should not grow. Mart E. Troll. 



We Appreciate This. 



Worcester Co., Mass., April 23, 1923. 

 Four hundred plants to hand this A. M. and by their nice condition it is plain to see that you do 

 know how to pack Berry Plants for shipment as they looked as if my neighbor had just dug them this 

 morning. I will return my influence towards you if there is a call for berries in this neighborhood rest 

 assured W. H. Fairbanks. 



We Are Glad You Are Pleasee. 



Bedford Co., Tenn., March 22, 1923. 

 Plants came in good shape, nicest plants I ever saw. W. J. Peacock.
