ALLEN'S STRAWBERRY CATALOGUE. 



the best strawberry ever grown. I have nothing in my grounds that will begin 

 to fruit like it. It will yield as many berries as the Haverland and will average 

 as large as Bubach. Colors all over at once. A berry that will do that is the 

 best one found yet. There is not a weak spot in it. Foliage perfect, fruit per- 

 fect. Needs no petting. 



Sample Straberry plants received from C. S. Pratt, Reading, Mass., during 

 April of 1897: alsD, April 11 Of 1898. The flower is im'periecs. The berries are 

 medium to large, regular, heart-shaped, crimson, fairly firm, and of mild qual- 

 ity. Mr. Pratt claims that "'It is the best berry ever sent out."- We are not 

 at present quite prepared to dispute his claim. The vines are vigorous and very 

 productive. The berries are not only often of the largest size, but they are of 

 perfect shape, and uniformily so. There are no white tips. Considering their 

 size, the berries are firm. Though the peduncles are strong, there are so many 

 berries upon them they lie upon the ground. June 17 was the height of its 

 season. They continued a perfect shape, there being not any irregular berry 

 upon any one of the plants. June 20; still in heavy bearing. — Rural New-Yorker.
