W. F. Allen's Plant and Seed Catalogue, Salisbury, Md. 



STONE. — This has come to be recognized as the 

 best of all the standard varieties. The color is a de- 

 sirable bright red ; fruit is of large size, perfectly 

 smooth and of best quality. It is a famous tomato in 

 all tomato sections and the favorite for canning every- 

 where. The plants are productive and fruit bears ship- 

 ment well. I have a large stock of seed and will be 

 pleased to correspond with any canners who want large 

 quantities of seed for their growers. My stock is 

 strictly pure and of the very finest. Special prices on 

 large lots. Pkt., 5c. ; oz., 15c. ; quarter lb., 40c. ; lb., 

 $1.25. 



JUNE PINK. — This is a deep pink or purplish- 

 colored tomato, having the same characteristic of 

 growth and fruiting as Spark's Earliana, while It is 



fully as early and possesses greater sweetness and free- 

 dom from acidity. It originated as a chance sport in 

 a field of Earliana. The plants are quite hardy and 

 adapted to the practice of most gardeners who start 

 their plants very early and have large plants well har- 

 dened early in the Spring. Both skin and flesh are of 

 a deep pink or purplish tint ; of sweet, mild flavor. 

 Very popular for an early market variety. Pkt., 10c. ; 

 oz., 30c. ; quarter lb., $1.00 ; lb., $3.00. 



PARAGON. — (Britton's Best.) — This is a favor- 

 ite market variety and next to Stone one of the most 

 popular canning sorts. A heavy bearer of large dark 

 red, perfectly smooth fruit, sometimes described as 

 being as smooth as an apple. A good, reliable sort. 

 1'kt, 5c. ; oz., 20c. ; quarter lb., 60c. ; lb., $1.75. 



LIVINGSTONS FAVORITE— in preportlon to 

 size, it is one of the heaviest tomatoes grown. It is 

 large, smooth, fine quality and very productive. Pkt., 

 5c. ; oz., 20c. ; quarter lb., 50c. ; lb., $1.50. 



YELLOW PEAR.— This is a very pretty tomoto, 

 similar in shape to a pear. The fruit is rather small, 

 only about the size of a large plum. Desirable for 

 pickling and preserving. Pkt., 5c. ; oz., 25c. ; quarter 

 lb., 75c. ; lb., $2.50. 



ALLEN'S BEST. — This is undoubtedly one of the 

 very best second early tomatoes. Season is medium 

 early ; color is a beautiful red. The fruit is firmer 

 than any other tomato I have ever grown and will 

 bear shipping further than any other variety I say 

 this without hesitation, as I have proved it. I have 

 shipped it to Boston by express (which is about the 

 hardest test that could be given any tomato) and had 

 it to sell for $.150 per crate when other varieties 

 would not pay expenses. As a second early variety for 

 shipping, general crop, canning, or any other purposes, 

 I have never seen its equal. It is very productive and 

 anyone who grows tomatoes for market should not fall 

 to plant this variety. It is large, smooth and firm ; a 

 heavy cropper. Pkt., 5c. ; oz., 20c. ; quarter lb., 60c. ; 



TURNIPS.

 on the market; fine-grained and fine flavor. It is white

 ter lb., 15c. ; lb.. 40c.

WHITE POTATOES. 



I do not handle white potatoes in less than barrel 

 lots, and I can usually supply the very best Northern- 

 grown seed. I do not have many varieties, but some 

 extra good stock of the best kinds. I quote Irish Cob- 

 bler and Early Rose. Aristook county, Maine, grown, at 

 $3.50 per one-barrel sack (165 lbs.). I have a few 

 extra fine Maryland-grown Green Mountain which I 

 can furnish at same price. Parties wanting 10 barrels
