WORLD'S FINEST STRAWBERRY SELECTIONS 



RARITAN 



Mid-season Beauty 



RARITAN was released in 1968 after 

 extensive testing. In the ancestry of this 

 fine variety are two beauties, Redglow 

 and Jerseybelle. RARITAN was intro- 

 duced in New Jersey and has achieved 

 a tremendous popularity in that state as 

 an early midseason berry. It is well 

 adapted to the northeastern states. 



RARITAN plants produce runners 

 freely so that RARITAN always makes 

 a good matted row. High yields are 

 obtained from RARITAN plants. 

 Plants of RARITAN are not resistant 

 to red stele root rot or verticillium 

 wilt and if either of these troubles is 

 known to be present in the soil where 

 plants are to be set, we would not rec- 

 ommend Raritan for growing there. 

 Where these diseases are not present, 

 RARITAN grows well, with high vigor 

 and great productivity. 



RARITAN berries are delightful. 

 Fruit is glossy, bright red with bright 

 yellow seeds that are partially em- 

 bedded. Caps are large and showy and 

 hold their attractive green color to mar- 

 ket. Flesh of RARITAN berries is firm 

 and the skin is quite resistant to abra- 

 sion. RARITAN fruits are of excellent 

 eating quality but iiesh is a little light 

 for best processing. RARITAN berries 

 are large and beautiful. Order your

Gentlemen . . I was well pleased with the 

 plants you sent me and I received them in 

 good condition ... c. V. Durbin

Dear Sir: I just had to take the time to let 

 you know what beautiful strawberry plants 

 we always receive from your company. My 

 husband said everyone is quick to write 

 when they have a complaint. But no one 

 has the time to let you know or thank you 

 for the beautiful plants we receive. So we 

 both thank you. We also appreciate the 

 good service we get.

MIDWAY 



Great midseason for the middle states 



MIDWAY was a cross of Dixieland 

 and Temple, introduced in Maryland 

 in 1960. MIDWAY is well adapted 

 from the middle states west to Indiana, 

 with good results reported in the north- 

 east. 



MIDWAY plants are healthy and 

 vigorous, extremely productive. Plants 

 run freely. MIDWAY plants have good 

 resistance to red stele. MIDWAY 

 plants need irrigation on lighter soils — 

 they prefer heavy soils for best growth. 



MIDWAY berries are late midsea- 

 son. They are long conic, firm fleshed, 

 tough surfaced, glossy rich red. Fruit 

 is medium to large in size, with yellow 

 seeds. Very good for freezing. Excel- 

 lent flavor makes MIDWAY berries 

 always in demand for desserts. Our 

 MIDWAY plants are beautiful and you 

 should have some in your garden. Or- 

 der now. See color page 26. 



Gentlemen: Thank you for the prompt and 

 courteous service in handling my order for 

 strawberry plants. They arrived in good 

 shape. Eg^ig c ciegg

Dear Sirs: I received my plants on May 29 

 and boy am I satisfied. I bought 50 plants 

 from a local store and only 25-30 came out. 

 The roots on the plants you sent are twice 

 as long (no kidding) as the ones I bought 

 from that store, and every plant is beauti- 

 ful. I appreciate my name being hand- 

 written on the card. Best of luck.

Last year I purchased plants from your 

 firm and I want to tell you that I have got 

 plants from Allen's for years but I have 

 never received better plants than those I 

 got last spring. I got 100 Midway (substi- 

 tute for Catskill) and you sent me twenty- 

 five Sparkle and every plant grew and were 

 superb in every way. Had I not been satis- 

 fied I would have written you so thought 

 I would let you know how well pleased I 

 was with last year's plants.
