ALLEN'S STRAWBERRY CATALOGUE. 



J 



BRANDYWINE — This variety has beeu reported upou by the experiment 

 stations, wiitten up by horticultural papers and talked of by fruit growers every- 

 where until it has become as well known as any of the older kinds. I believe it 

 will besr out the claims that have been made for it. The fruit and plant 

 very much resembles Gandy but is more productiye and a better grower. Most 

 reports are favorable but some are the reverse. I Mm just in receipt of a letter 

 from J. B. Willis of South Carolina, who speaks of it as follows: "I am glad to 

 have such a beny as the Brandywine to report on. I fruited it last spring and 

 from its general character I consider it on^ of the bes!; taocy and main crop 

 berries 1 have, it is quite large, even in shape, rich, red color, productive and 

 good flavor, eic.'' 



BARTON'S ECLIPSE— This is a reliable standard that always gives satis- 

 faction. It is a splendid grower and a heavy yielder of lar^e sized and good 

 flavored berries. It is as large as Bubach, equally as producive acd a much 

 better shipper. It i-< positively one of thf^ best of the sstHUtiajd sorts. I always 

 plant largely of ihis and have never yet had occasion to regret doing so. My 

 stock of this valuable variety is larger than usual an(] very fine. 



BEDAR WOOD — Very productive, early, medium size, rather soft for dis- 

 tant shipment: quite popular in some sections. My stock is very fine.
