24 ALLEN'S STRAWBERRY CATALOGUE 



growing asparagus for 30 years, and have grown both Palmetto and Argent uil, 

 and there is as much difference between them, as there is between Con over's 

 Colossal and Palmetto. And for my personal ex peri* nee of Conover's Colossal 

 and the Palmetto, the Palmetto is twice the size of Conover's Colossal, s<nd 

 longer lived And I consider Argenteuil twice the siz^ of Palmetio, earlier, 

 more prolific, and longer lived ' Price, Si 00 per hundred, by express; $4 00 

 per thousand. All two year old roots. 



COLUMBIA VMAMHOTH WHITE. It produces shoots which are white, 

 and remain so as long as lit for us^>. M irk^t gard -n^rs, growers for cann ri< s, 

 and amateurs, should give this variety a thorough trial. In addition to its 

 marvelous advantage of its white olor, the Columbian Mammoth White aspar- 

 agus, is even more robust and vigorous in habit, and throws larger shoots, and 

 fully as many of them as Conover's Colossal. A valuable new variety. Price, 

 $100 per hundred; $4 00 per vhousand. All 2 year old plants. 



PALMETTO. Of Southern origin, a variety of excellent quality, early, 

 very large, very prolific, and all who have used it, pronounce it very fine. 

 PnVp 75 c t s . per hundred, by express, or $3 00 per thousand. All 2 year old 

 plants. 



BARR'S MAMMOTH. Early and large, and when placed on the market, 

 its appearance makes a demand for it, while others are at a drag. This is con- 

 sidered one of the best standard varieties Fine two year old plants, 75 cts. per 

 hundred; $3.00 per thousand. No orders filled for less than 100 plants of a kind.
