W. F. ALLEN, JR.'S CATALOGUE 



TENNESSEE PROLIFIC is oae of the best medium early varieties that we 

 have seen. We have riot got this in fruiting but saw it last May in Richmond 

 on the introducers grounds, Messrs. W. T. Hood & Co. The writer went all the way 

 to Ricnmond for the express purpose of seeing this new berry. Mr. Hood showed 

 us a patch of perhaps ten acres and it was a grand sight. The fruit was large 

 and enough of it. The quality was good, and the vines were vigorous and 

 healthy, without a spot of rust in the whole field. They were growing on rath- 

 er stiff clay land. They have made an exceptionally good growth here this sum- 

 mer on light soil, the plant is very healthy being entirely free from rust, and so 

 far show every indication of producing a fine crop of fruit on light land as well 

 as on clay. In fact I believe this is a variety that will do well under almost 

 any circumstances and the indications are that no one who plants Tennessee 

 Prolific will ever have cause to regret it.
