ALLEN'S: STRAWBERRY CATALOGUE. 



COBDEN QUEEN— I fruit 

 ed this the past season and 

 found it to be a very produc- 

 tive and firm berry, of medi- 

 um size, crimson color inside 

 and out. It is not a very large 

 berry, but shows up better 

 than many of the larger kinds 

 and is a berry that vrill hold 

 up well and look attractive in 

 the market after a long ship- 

 ment. 



MITCHELS' EARLY has 



been the leading early berry 

 for several years. Best quality. 



PATRICK— Can't see any 



excuse for putting it on the 

 market ; it surpasses in noth- 

 ing except vigorous healthy 

 plant growth. 



RIDGEWAY — A vigorous 

 healthy grower, medium large, 

 nearly round, productive, firm 

 and iate. 



RIO — Early ; large fine 

 quality, healthy plant. 



STAPLES -Early as Hoff- 

 man and nearly as firm, re- 

 sembles Warneid in many respects, ^but is some|darker in color ; is good quality 

 and very productive. 



iQANiJY — This is the standard late berry of America, large, firm, uniform 

 and attractive. Will not do its best at fruiting time on light sandy soil. 

 Black sw imp or medium stiff soil seems to suit it best My present stock of 

 this p ipular variety is the largest I ever grew and is very fine in quality as 

 well as quantity. 5 . /^ 



t;C^BUBACH — My stock of this well known and everywhere popularjvariety is 

 very fine. My plants will please all who buy them. My stock is strictly 

 pur. The variety is so well known it needs no description. 



HOFFMAN— Known everywhere, early, and the standard for firmness. 



^^CARRIE — A seedling of Haverland which it verj much resembles'in shape 

 and habit of growth. The foliage is a 

 darker green and the fruit a darker 

 red than Haverland ; but in size and 

 shape it very much resembles its parent. 

 The fruit is firmer and a better shipper, 

 but do not think it is quite as produc- 

 tive as has been claimed. 



djCRESCENT- Medium size, very 

 productive. 



GANDY BELLE— Healthy, vigor- 

 ous growth, nedium large, firm, solid, 

 somewhat acid, but rich high flavor 



GARDNER— Healthy strong: grow- 

 er, immensely productive of berries 

 that very much resemble Haverland in 

 shape and size, light scarlet in color. 



HUNN— Almost invariably'eaten up 

 with rust, otherwise a good late variety.
