ALLEN'S STRAWBERRY CATALOGUE. 



SPLENDID— This beiTy is well named. Th^ vines are a rich dark green in 

 color, without a spot of rust or disease of any kind and grow like weeds. It is 

 very productive ot uniform medium size berries, berries that are firm and show 

 up well in the package. It is an excellent shipper. 



S. C. Saunders of Rock county, Wisconsin, s^ys: 'Splendid is a good grower 

 and a splendid berry. " 



H. L. Barton ot New York, says: ' Splendid was as good as any in 100 varie- 

 ties fruited, and four years trial has proved it in all th-i qualities that constitute 

 a foremost standard market berry, worthy of extensive cultivation and entire 

 confidence." 



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 sprightly, agreeable flavor. This is also a very fine variety to plant 

 with pistillate sorts, and a good berry for most any purpose.
