ALLEN'S STRAWBERRY CATALOGUE.

BRANDYWINE.— This variety has 

 been reported upon by the experiment 

 stations, written up by horticultural 

 papers and talked of by fruit growers 

 everywhere until it has become as well 

 known as any of the older kinds. I 

 believe it will bear out the claims that 

 have been made for it. The fruit and 

 plant very much resemble Gandy but 

 is more productive and a better grower. 

 I marketed quite a good many crates of 

 Brandywine last sea3on and they were 

 very fine. Almost every crate would 

 bear the mark of fancy or extra and 

 always brought the highest market 

 price. 



TENNESSEE PROLIFIC - Large, 

 good color, productive, of good shape, 

 free from rust and ranks among the 

 best in the strawberry list. It is a seed- 

 ling of Sharpiess and Crescent,ehowing 

 the parentage of both. The fruit is 

 large, handsome plant, and as produc- 

 tive as Haverland. 



"THE CARMI BEAUTY"— Is the 



strawberry for the farmer's garden and 

 the home market. We have no hesita- 

 tion in pronouncing this the largest 

 berry up to date. Its fine size and 

 and beautiful appearance attract the 

 attention of the best buyers. 



It is of the highest flavor, satisfy- 

 ing the most fastidious taste. 



It is the earliest of the medium 

 early varieties— a few days earlier than 

 the Crescent. 



It is a large, deep rooted plant, with an abundant, healthy, dark green foli- 

 age, which gives it the capacity to bear large crops of fine sized berries. 



It will stand dry weather longer than any other kind on my place, and for 

 a large berry, will bear more to the hill than any other variety. 



It is a bright red color, and has a beautiful shape. 



The Carmi Beauty is a Pistillate, andean be Pollenized with any of the 

 early or medium early Staminant varieties."' — Originator. 



BLONDE— This variety although one of the best late varieties with me 

 seems to have been almost totally ignored by the strawberry public. I have 

 now fruited the Blonde for the third time and consider it one of the ver\ 

 of late varieties especially for light land. I was so well pleased with it ii 

 that in Spring of 1900 I planted several acres of it for fruit and am very glad 

 that I did for last summer it again gave us a very Large crop of handsome large 

 fruit.
