ALLEN'S STRAWBERRY CATALOGUE. 



Md., this spring, 1905, and all are invited to come and^ee it. All who' buy 

 1000 or more plants this spring and -will come and see this patch in fruit, and 

 after seeing it, are not satisfied, may have every cent of tneir money back 

 by signing an agreement not to grow anymore of this variety and not to sell, 

 give away, trade, or in any way dispose of any of the plants then in their 

 possession. The "New Home' T is a berry that every berry grower who grows 

 berries to ship cannot afford to be without. Read the following disinterested 

 testimony from Messrs/'Conant '8b fie-ati, who have handled t|iis herry and 

 know its value. My own estimates Of its worth % can easily be determined 

 from the fact that I grow no- other variety for fete fruit crop, as I consider 

 it better than anything else that I can get for a late shipping berry, and I be- 

 lieve it will supersede the Gaudy, (which is today mOre largely. grown than 

 any other variety in America) as soon as its great productiveness, uniform 

 large size and unsurpassed carding and keeping qualities become known.

Mr. *.?. Allen, 



Salisbury ,Md. 

 Dear Sir: 



Understanding that you are to offer your berry the "New Home" to 

 growers this season, we wish to give you our experience with it, also the 

 opinion of those to whom we made sales. . The first consignment we received 

 were thought to be Gandys,only it was remarked by all that they were much 

 brighted and firmer than they had ever seen before, even. for this variety. 



We sold this particular lot mostly to retailers and without exception,- 

 they pronounced it the best and most satisfactory berry they had 'ever handled 



Since then we have sold to wholesale buyers frofiS outside cities and town* 

 as far as Portland Me. and have heard nothing but good reports concerning it. 

 Many retail dealers have told us that after keeping them in their stores 

 two and three days, they were just as bright and firm as when they received 

 them. Everything considered, we think it is the best berry we know.of for 

 shipping long distances and predict for it, great popularity and success- 



Very truly yours, 



- — -i
