ALLEN'S STRAWBERRRY CATALOGUE. 



If I were going to plant 10,000 

 Strawberry Plants, 9,000 of them ; 

 would be Glen Mary.—H. W. Col 

 lingsworth, Ed Rural New York 

 er; personal interview, Nov. 4-, ''98. 



The p^st summer the Glen Mary- 

 has become famous, having beaten all 

 previous records for size Mr. Joseph 

 Haywood one of my customers who 

 lives near Philadelphia sent in to the 

 Farm Journal office a quart box that 

 was filled to the top with (4) ber- 

 ries of the Glen Mary. This beats 



all previous records to date. Mr. Haywood raised one berry that weighed four 

 ounces and a good many that weighed over three ounces. A few who have 

 Glen Mary complain of rust and in fact it rusted badly with me in 1898 but 

 last year it was fine and nine tenths of all the reports we get are very flattering. 

 The demand for Glen Mary plants last year was larger than for any other of 

 our varieties and the indications are that I will not be able to supply t^e de- 

 mand this spring although I have a large stock. Those who want Glen Mary 

 best not wait too late to order 



ENORMOUS— This berry has 

 given general satisfaction, and 

 under good culture is certainly a 

 wonderful producer ot large firm 

 berries that are well colored and 

 very attractive. I fruited a 

 quantity of it last season and it 

 was one of the best on my 

 grounds and a general favorite 

 with visitors. Its season is al- 

 most as late as Gandy. It does 

 not make a great amount of 

 plants, but what plants there are 

 manufacture a wonderful amount 

 of large glossy dark red or crim- 

 son berries. That were looked 

 after by the best buyers, and al- 

 ways command the highest mar- 

 ket price. 



SAUNDERS— I wish all my 

 customers would test this berry, 

 as it is among the most desirable. 

 It makes many runners, has a 

 perfect blossom, and is very pro- 

 ductive. The fruit is large, con- 

 ical, slightly flattened and often 

 has a depression on one or both 

 sides. It is deep red and remark- 

 ably glossy. The flesh is of the 

 same color ^and has a sprightly 

 agreeable flavor. This is also a 

 very fine variety to plant with 

 pistillate sorts, and a ^ood berry 

 for most any purpose. It is one 

 of the best we grow and I am 

 planting it lart^ely for fruit and 

 shall plant more of it than ever 

 the following spring. It is one 

 of the good things that has made 

 its way without booming. 



SPENDID— This berry is 

 well named. The vines are a 

 rich dark green in color, without 

 a spot of rust or disease of any 

 kind and grow like weeds It is very productive of uniform medium size ber- 

 ries, berries that are firm and show up well in the package. It is an excellent 

 shipper.
