W. F. ALLEN, JR. 'S CATALOGUE 



BEEDER WOOD. 



BEEDER WOOD. — this is one of the berries that can be depended upon,and 

 any one without it is not in the swim, as the phrase goes. But a tew days be- 

 hind Mitchel, lasts long, good size, quality good, an abundant bearer, and will 

 pass through a drought that will kill most varieties. Healthy foliage and makes 

 plenty of plants. The above out is a fair illustration of its size and shape. It 

 is'very productive and one of the most reliable early sorts. 



BUBACH NO. 5. — This variety has taken a prominent position in straw- 

 berry culture, in most places taking the 

 place of the Sharpless, which it resem- 

 bles in shape, but it is fully double as 

 productive as that variety. This berry 

 is a wonder in its season of fruit, com- 

 pletely covering the ground about the 

 plant with large berries. The Bubach is 

 a strictly pistillate variety and needs to 

 be well fertilized with some perfect 

 flowering kind. The fruit is large and 

 irregular in shape, holding out quite 

 large until the last picking. The flavor 

 is ordinarily good. My stock of Bubach 

 is exceptionally fine, as I have been se- 

 lecting the healthiest, best growing and 

 most productive plants until now my 

 stock is worth much more than the 

 average Bubach that is sent out.
