W. F. ALLEN, JR.'S CATALOGUE 





ARROW.— This is a seedling of the Haverland, originated at my ;h?nds in 

 1890 and fruited for the first time the following year. Unlike many seedlings 

 it has seemed to increase in vigor and size with each successive fruiting. A 

 strong vein of its Crescent blood is marked in the plant, which is of very vigor- 

 our habit, with a bright and healthy foliage, absolutely free from rust in all 

 seasons. The fruit ripens with Haverland and resembles it closely in form, but 

 is much brighter in color, firmer in texture and of higher flavor. On my soil it 

 is very nearly, if not quite, as productive as Haverland, both in quarts and in 

 number of berries, for, though falling below Haverland in size of its largest 

 specimens, it maintains a greater uniformity in size and shape. It inherits the 

 valuable characteristic, so notable in its parent, of bearing a pistillate flower 

 that is very easily fertilized, having some pollen of its own, and occasionally a 

 bi-sexual blossom is seen. I consider it a variety of much merit, and if it suc- 

 ceeds as well elsewhere as in Wisconsin it will become very popular.— E. W. Cone. 



Arrow has made a wonderful growth here. The foliage is vigorous and very 

 healthy. It has not yet fruited here but looks very promising. Try a dozen.
