Showing the w 



rful root system of Allen Plants. 



They are rather dark in color and part easily from the cap, making them very fine 

 for canning and preserving. Price list page 35. 



SAMPLE. Another old variety that has stood the test of time and still ranked 

 by many as the best late strawberry grown. The berries are a perfect strawberry type 

 being very uniform, bright red in color, large in size, delicious in flavor and very at- 

 tractive in appearance. Sample is enormously productive and does well on wide range 

 of soils. However, it seems to be most popular in the Middle and Northern States. 

 It is a very hardy variety and nearly always produces a crop. The blossoms are im- 

 perfect and Aroma or Big Joe should be planted with it. Price list page 35. 



The Best. A new variety which we fruited in 1923 for the first time. The plants 

 are large and healthy and a good crop of fruit was set. Owing to dry weather this 

 was not all matured, but under more favorable weather conditions this variety might 

 perhaps show up to advantage. Price list page 35. 



WM. BELT. On most markets the size and appearance of strawberries deter- 

 mine the selling price, but where quality is counted in addition to large size and hand- 

 some appearance, Wm. Belt should be grown. This variety is the standard of excel- 

 lence for quality. The berries average large in size, somewhat irregular in shape as 

 shown in the picture, but they have an attractive green cap and the berries themselves 

 are a bright glossy red which makes them very handsome. This variety does best in 

 the middle and Northern States, and whether used in the garden for local market or 

 nearby shipping, Wm. Belt is a friend to the strawberry grower and on account of 

 its quality an even better friend to the strawberry consumer. Price list page 35.
