ALLEN'S STRAWBERRY CATALOGUE. 



CARRIE — The Carrie is a seedling of the Haverland, which it very much 

 resembles in shape and habit of growth. The originator says it is firmer, better 

 color, and a much better shipper than its parent. Prof. W. J. Green of the Ohio 

 Experiment Station, reports on the Carrie as follows: "Of the new varieties 

 about to be introduced, none pleases me better than the Carrie. It resembles the 

 Haverland, but is an improvement upon that variety in size, color and firmness, 

 and it seems equal to it in productiveness." If this judgment is correct it will 

 prove to be an exceedingly valuable variety. 



I have this berry growing but have not fruited it, except on spring set plants, 

 having sold every plant I had last spring, except what I had planted for this 

 spring's stock. The accompanying illustration was made direct from a cluster 

 of berries which I picked in June from a young plant set the March previous. 

 The berry is highly colored and a firm good shipper. 



SAUNDERS — A Canadian berry of great value to the market grower. I wish 

 that all my customers would test it, as it is among the most desirable. It makes 

 many runners, has a perfect blossom, and is very productive. The fruit is large, 

 conical, slightly flattened and often has a depression on one or both sides. It is 

 deep red and remarkably glossy. The flesh is of the same color and has a spright- 

 ly agreeable flavor. This is also a very fine varietv to plant with pistillate sorts, 

 and a good bsrry for most any purpose. The past season it was one of the best 

 on my place and one grower who saw it in fruit has already placed a large order 

 with me for plants.
