W. F. Allen's Plant and Seed Catalogue, Salisbury, Md. 



WARD. — This is doubtless a seedling of Kittatiny, which it closely 

 resembles. It is vigorous, hardy and free from rust. It was 

 found growing wild in Monmouth county, N. J. Its fine fruit, strong canes, 

 clean, healthy foliage, loaded with enormous crops of large berries, soon 

 attracted attention. It has now been fruited for several years, bearing 

 large crops annually of handsome berries. Very highly recommended at a 

 recent meeting of the New Jersey State Horticultural Society. It Is doubt- 

 less a variety of great merit.

CURRANTS. 



Choose a moist, rich soil for currants. Plant four by five feet apart. 

 Keep free from weeds and grass by cultivation and mulching. Use plenty 

 of manure and trim out superfluous wood by cutting back the new growth 

 two-thirds each year. Sprinkle ashes around the roots occasionally to keep 

 out borers. If currant worm appears, dust with hellebore. I am offering 

 three varieties only, which I consider as good as can be had. They are 

 three good, reliable varieties that will thrive and produce well anywhere 

 that any variety will grow. 



RED CROSS. — The Rural New Yorker says : Red Cross is the best of 



all, old or new, currants for midseason. It is large 



and productive. The masses of fruit almost completely cover the bearing 



canes. It is undoubtedly one of the best currants, if not the very beat, on 



the market." 



CHERRY. — Strong grower, fruit very large, sometimes measuring one- 

 half inch in diameter. This Is a most excellent red variety. 



WHITE GRAPES. — This is the largest and most productive white 

 currant. Flavor sweet, and very fine for the 

 table. 

 I will send any of the three above named varieties by express, receiver to 

 pay charges, at $1.00 per dozen ; $3.50 per 50 ; $6.00 per 100. 



GOOSEBERRIES. 



> RKP JACKET GOOSSBIRBT 



Plant same as currants, in good, rich soil, give lib- 

 eral dressing of manure every season ; regular pruning 

 every year is essential for fine fruit. To prevent mil- 

 dew, spray as soon as leaves appear, and occasionally 

 through the summer, with potassium sulphur, one 

 ounce to four gallons of water. All gooseberries quoted 

 by express or freight, receiver to pay charges. 



HOUGHTON.- — A very productive berry of me- 

 dium size, and for general purposes 

 one of the best. I never saw this variety fail to pro- 

 duce at least a partial crop. $1.00 per dozen, $3.50 per 

 50 ; $6.00 per 100. 



RED JACKET. — An American seedling of large 

 size, smooth, prolific and hardy, 

 quality among the best. This variety is well tested 

 over a wide range of territory, and has proven very sat- 

 isfactory. It is a heavy cropper, has bright, clean, 

 healthy foliage. Good, well-rooted plants, $1.00 per 

 doz. : $3.75 per 60 ; $7.00 per 100. 



T URAL SIZB 



DOWNING. — One of the oldest and best; large, 



handsome, pale green and splendid 



quality ; fine for both cooking and table use ; vigorous 



grower and usually free from mildew. $1.26 per dox. ; 



$4.00 per 50 ; $7.00 per 100. 



THE FINEST HE EVER BOUGHT. 



Monroe Co., Mich., May 9, 1907. 

 W. F. Allen, Dear Sir : I drop you a card to 

 let you know that I received my plants May 4. 

 They came in fine shape, and I am more than 

 pleased with them. I think they are about the 

 finest lot of plants that I ever bought. Many 

 thanks for the little book you sent. 



Respectfully, CHAS. SMITH.
