ALLEN'S STRAWBERRY CATALOGUE. 



SEAFORD (Lloyd) — This is claimed to be superior to Bubach; it makes a 



very strong healthy vigorous plant and is 

 equally if not more productive than Bu- 

 A UWn ^^^^' quite as large and somewhat better 

 "^sJ^lJJ shipper, a little earlier and comes on fas- 

 ^^ ter. The iruit is a dark scarlet in color; 

 ^ blossoms pistillate. This berry M^as origi- 



nally called Lloyd and is still known to 

 many by that name but when introduced 

 it was called Seaford. 



WOO LVERTON— This is a well known 

 and reliable variety that succeds on any 

 soil and in any locality as a rule. It was 

 originated by Mr. John Little, of Canada, 

 and is really one of the most valuable ever 

 sent out. The plant is a good grower and 

 a great bearer. It has a perfect blossom, 

 and is one of the best polienizers w© have. 

 It is no uncommon thing to see blossoms 

 and ripe fruit on this variety at the same 

 time. Fruit very large, of regular form, 

 fine looking, of good quality , and produc- 

 ed in great abundance. This and Saund- 

 ers though not the same are very much 

 alike and were among the best on my place the past season. Side by side with 

 Bubach, Woolverton gave finer fruit and more of it. The above was my de- 

 scription of Woolverton last year, I have fruited more than ever of it the past 

 season and side by side with Bubach it was larger, more productive, firmer and 

 better every way. 



JERRY RUSK — This is a new one that has probably been but little heard 

 of. It is one of the few 



Jei-ry l^vi^k 



that is working its own 

 way; and it will not be 

 kicked out after the first 

 season. I have fruited it 

 only on young plants, 

 but the fruit was mag- 

 nificent, large, evenly 

 colored, and of very fine 

 quality. The growth is 

 all could be desired, be 

 ing strong, healthy, and 

 vigorous. A friend who 

 lives n^ar its place of or i 

 igin writes me: "You' 

 were lucky in getting a 

 good supply of the Jerry 

 Rusk. The largest and 

 finest berries I ever saw 

 were of this variety." 



The above was my 

 description of Jerry 

 Rusk last season, but 

 the past season it did 

 not come up to my ex- 

 pectations, the foliage 

 seemed to lose its 

 vigor of the year before 

 and the fruit did not ma- 

 ture as I had expected it. Mr. Crawford in his July report says: "The Jerry 

 Rusk is one of the most productive large berries in cultivation. An experienc- 

 ed grower who raises this variety for market, told me that it is the only one that 

 will surpass the Bubach on his place. It is a healthy, vigorous grower. ""^^
