ALLEN "S STRAWBERRY CATALOGUE 



GLEN MARY— This giant among strawberries was first offered to the pub- 

 lic by me in the spring of 1896. I have watched every word that has been writ- 

 ten or said concerning this variety. I am now satisfied that, all things con- 

 sidered, it is without an equal. It being large to very large in size, one of the 

 most productive ever grown; of strong, sturdy and healthy growth; highly 

 colored, firm for a large berry, and ranks with the best in flavor.

records to date. Mr. Haywood raised one berry that weighed four ounces and 

 a good many that weighed over three ounces. A few who have Glen Mary 

 complain of rust and in fact it rusted badly with me in 1898, but last year it 

 was fine and nine tenths of all the reports we get are very flattering. The 

 demand for Glen Mary plants last year was larger than for any other of 

 our varieties and the indications are that I will not be able to supply the de- 

 mand this spring although I have a large stock. Those who want Glen Mary 

 best not wait too late to order as I have never hed plarts enough to fill all 

 orders received.
