ALLEN'S STRAWBERRY CATALOGUE. 



1* 



SPLENDID. This bury is well named. It should not be allowed to get 

 too tbick, as it will surely do, if not k^pt in ch-ck by te ring off part of the 

 runTv rs. Ir has a Htrony stMmir.ate bloanom, and is one of the I est pollenizere 

 to plant with pistillate varieties of the "Warn>ld and Crescent type. The vine 

 is a rich dark ^re^n fr»»e fro ii rust and dis<»as< s It is very productive, of uni- 

 form, medium siz - berries, that are firm, and make a t r ood showing in the crate. 

 Ir is an excellent shipper, and d-erns to yet more p<»pul <r ev^rv j ear. The good 

 qualities of i h s berry, s-ems to have heen overlooked for a lon^ tim^, but it is 

 r ow rapidly com in t to the trout; and I can conscientiously .ecommend it as one 

 of thH bet «.f its class. 



TENNESSEE PROLIFIC. Too well known to need much comment. The 

 plant is one < f the m< s r vigorous and healthy that throws. I aree size, v^rv 

 produnivH. The fruit oomewhat resembles Sharpless; and in fact, the plant ie 

 a c -s of Sharplet-B ->nd Cresc- nt. It is one of the most productive varieties on 

 our list, and is large)? grown commerciHlly. Two years ago we could nut supply 

 hnif 'heirdnrs ree<-iv d for it. This season, however, we are better supplied. 

 and think we can 61] all orders. 



TUBBS. This; is a valuah'e varietv of ^ medium siz a class of Bbipping ber- 

 ries. I is immens \y it xiuc ive, .and highlv colored, and holds up in size all 

 throu h thn season [ have- i>en fruiting this i re veral ye r- , and have dem* 

 onstr itnl that it is a valuable commercial variety. 



YANT. Not yet fruited here. It mnkes a larj^ plant, and a good quantity 

 of t h*-rn Mr Crawford in his July report, Bays: "It is very productive, conical 

 snap*, and good quality." H considers it a vain nble variety, other growers 

 speak wpII of thi* VHrifty. My plants are ver j tin., and I shall be pleased to
