ALLEN '3 STRAWBERRY CATALOGUE. 



HAVERLAND. This is the most popular of all the in idseason varieties- 

 grown in America today. This is not an idle assertion but is based on facts 

 obtained through our vote on varieties last season when Haverland received 

 52 votes as the best midseason market variety for distant shipment which is 

 five more than was received on any other midseason variety. Haverland re- 

 ceived 59 votes as the best midseason berry for near market or home use 

 which was ten more than was received by any other variety. This is strong- 

 er evidence of its great popularity than anything I could say of its good 

 qualities. While a pistillate variety this is one of the easiest to pollenize. 

 Plant is healthy, large and vigorous, makes ample beds and is very productive. 

 The variety is firm enough to ship well, and is a good reliable sort to plant. 

 Under favorable conditions X have seen the Haverland average as large as 

 guinea eggs. I shall never forget a patch of this grand old variety grown 

 by my father w T hen I was a boy. But little was said about it at the time, 

 and in fact it has never bee i boomed by anyone, yet it has steadily worked 

 its way up until today it is the most popular of all midseason varieties the 

 country over. It is not likely that anyone will ever regret planting this va- 

 riety. -"-'It is one of the old reliable standbys, that was a leader 15 years ago.
