W. F. ALLEN, JR.'S CATALOGUE 



BEVERLY. 



HAVERLAND. — A native of Ohio, but does not lose its reputation by going- 

 into other states. This is one of the most productive berries on the market to- 

 day. The plant is a veiy vigorous grower. It is a fine shipping variety, and. 

 as it is very large, will command good prices in market for years to come. No 

 one will regret planting it. I shall plant largely of it for market as I believe it 

 to be one of the most profitable varieties in cultivation. 



WARFIELD NO. 2. — As a general purpose berry for North, South, East and 

 West, there is no better variety than this. It has 

 been widely disseminated, and its record is suffi- 

 cient to place it in the list of standard sorts rot 

 only, but well at the head of that list, combining, 

 as it does, every requisite of a first class be: ry 

 adapted to general cultivation. It succeeds ev< :ry- 

 where. and never fails to produce a paying cic p. 

 Ahead of Crescent in time, size, form and quplity, 

 rivaling it in health, hardiness, vigor and produc- 

 tiveness, and much superior in color and firmness, 

 it deserves to supercede that well known variety in 

 every section. 



MUSKINGUM. — We have been cultivating and 

 testing this variets for about four years, being bet- 

 WABFIELD. NO. 2. ter pleased wittl its behavior each year, till now it is 



our main cropper. It makes a large, perfect blossom on good stout fruit stems. 

 and is very prolific in bearing, and in vigor and growth the plant is not sur- 

 passed by any- Never blights, scalds or burns in the leaf, no matter how hot 

 or wet the weather. The berries are of large size, and continues large to the 

 end of the season. In form obtuse, conical but mostly round toward last of 

 the season; yet few of the very largest ones are eoxcombed. They ripen very 

 evenly all over; we have had them hang on the vines several days after ripening 

 without spoiling. The berry is of very nice, red, glossy color, with red flesh. 

 and of good flavor, which makes it a good berry for home use and one of the 

 most profitable market berries we have ever grown. unfortunately the grubs 

 got in my Muskingum this year and cut short my supply of plants. I can there- 

 fore only offer them by the hundred.
