THE W. F. ALLEN CO., SALISBURY, M D. 



Ohio Boy produces immense crops (see page 17) 



M „-L 11 (Norwood). A fancy old variety and 

 known to most Stra\vberr>--growers. 

 It is one of the largest berries on the market, not 

 quite so productive as some others, but its large 

 size, fine quality and handsome appearance make 

 it popular with those who want to produce the v-erj- 

 finest fruit. It is a berry that finds a ready sale at 

 top prices on any market. There have been lots of 

 plants sold for Marshall that were not Marshall. 

 We can assure you that our stock is exceptionally 

 fine and strictly Inie to name.

Mascot Berries large, glossy red and of good 

 quality. The plants make a strong, 

 healthy growth, with plenty of runners, and are 

 very productive. We have picked several quarts of 

 this variety, twenty-seven filling a quart basket 

 heaping full. It is a good variety, and most custo- 

 mers will be pleased with it. Season of ripening late. 



Missinnarv ^" certain sections of the South, 

 iTiia&iuiidry. government authorities, as well as 

 prominent growers recommend Missionary as the 

 only variety that should be grown. It is a good 

 standard market variety for all sections of the South. 

 It is a variety that ranks with the Klondyke, and is 

 preferred to that great old variety by a good many 

 growers. Dealers recommend it highly on account 

 of its handsome appearance in the package and its 

 good shipping qualities. Succeeds everywhere. See 

 illustration, page 13. 



MitrhpU's Farlv Vigorous grower and, if 



miicneii s cany, planted in good soil, should 



be kept thinned for best results. For eating from the 

 vines, after it is fully ripe, there is probably no early 

 variety that is better, and until the Excelsior came 

 it was the leading early bcrr>' for market as well as 

 for home use. It is still very popular in many sec- 

 tions, its high quality making it a favorite wherever 

 grown. 



Natu Ynrlf J^Iany housekeepers in this country 

 lic/V I Ui K. feel they cannot have a Strawberry- 

 bed for the home garden unless they have some New 

 York, as its quality is seldom equaled. It is very 

 prolific and bears through a long season. The berries 

 are large and the seeds are so near the color of the 

 berries and deep-set, that they are scarcely notice- 

 able. Its excellent quality and large size make it a 



very popular Strawberry for the home 



garden and local market.
