THE W. F. ALLEN CO., SALISBURY, MD. 



Gold Mine. Produces an abundance of strong, healthy fol- 

 iage. The plants are very productive and the berries are beau- 

 ties. They are large, bright red in color, with a handsome bright 

 green cap, which makes them very attractive. The quality is 

 very good. The fruit is similar to Big Joe in many ways. We 

 have quite a few of them this year and they were one of our best 

 money-makers, mostly because of their productiveness and the 

 high price which they commanded. Price, $10.00 per 1,000. 



HAVERLAND. A very popular standard. This fruit is of 

 large size, rather light in color and firm enough to stand shipment 

 in good shape. Blossoms are imperfect and exceedingly hardy, 

 making it very desirable where late frosts are likely. Dunlap, 

 Big Joe, Ekey and Magic Gem are all good to pollenize Haver- 

 land. The plants should be well mulched, as the fruit stems are 

 not able to hold the immense loads of berries off the ground. 

 Price, $8.00 per 1,000. See illustration, page 16. 



LUPTON. One of the largest and most handsome berries 

 we have ever seen. The plant is a vigorous grower and produces 

 strong, healthy foliage. They are very productive, and as 

 stated above, the berries are beautiful — they are uniformly 

 large, bright red in color, with a large green cap which makes 

 them doubly attractive. The quality is poor, but the berries 

 are firm and will carry as well as any variety we have ever seen, 

 not even excepting Klondyke and Twilley. On the large markets 

 the appearance of berries is more important than quality — this 

 being true, we believe the Lupton, by reason of its large size, 

 handsome appearance and excellent shipping qualities, is de- 

 stined to be one of the best money-making strawberries on our 

 list. It is sold at the station for the highest price of any berries 

 we had last year. Will sell in wholesale market with Chesapeake, 

 is easier to grow and will yield more quarts than Chesapeake. 

 Growers who ship fancy berries, try Lupton. Price, $10.00 per 

 1,000. See illustration, page 20. 



Magic Gem. A vigorous grower with leaves and stems very 

 thick and tough, which makes it most resistant to insects and di- 

 seases. The berries are borne in great abundance and are very 

 large in size, with a large, green cap and bright yellow seeds, mak- 

 ing them very attractive. Price $8.00 per 1,000 



New York. Vigorous grower. Quite productive of large 

 dark red berries. It is the sweetest berry we grow and very pop- 

 ular for home garden planting. Price $10.00 per 1,000. 



Chesapeake — None Better.
