W. F. ALLEN, JR.'S CATALOGUE 



HOFFMAN. 



HOFFMAN is too well known to need much comment, being one of the 

 most popular varieties grown in the South for northern nirrkets. The true stock 

 is of fair size, moderately productive, and the firmest 01 all early kinds yet intro- 

 duced. My stock of this variety is as pure and as fine as ifc is possible to get them. 

 I(can certainly supply those who want Hoffman with stock that will please. 



PRINCESS. — From what I have seen oi this beiry I believe it to be one of 

 the very best market varieties ever introduced. It was one of the few that 

 yielded heavily on my place last season. I have grown it two yens and find it 

 to s be a healthy, vigorous grower, making an abundance of strong runners. 

 While it has no defects that I am aware of, its strong points pre its wonderful 

 productiveness, large size and attractive appearance. 



E. H. Benson in Fruit Growers' Journal says: "Princess is indeed a magnifi- 

 cent variety. In plant, iruit, quality, and quantity, we cannot name its equal 

 this year. The descriptions ironi different sources have not been exagerated in 

 the least. We sent out about 20,000 of this variety as premiums to our subscrib- 

 ers the past spring, and it is more than gratifying to know that it is even better 

 than we expected.
