THE W. F. ALLEN CO., SALISBURY, MD. 17 



Haverland. A very popular standard. The fruit is 

 of large size, rather light in color and firm enough to 

 stand shipment in good shape. The blossoms are imper- 

 fect and exceedingly hardy, which is an important point 

 in some of the northern states. Ekey, Big Joe, Dunlap, 

 Twilley and Magic Gem are among the best varieties to 

 plant, with the Haverland. The plants should be well 

 mulched, as the fruit stems are not able to hold the im- 

 mense loads of berries off the ground. Price $8 per thous- 

 and. 



Heritage. Berries large, attractive in appearance, good 

 quality, firm and quite productive. Blossoms perfect. 

 Price $10 per thousand. 



Lupton. One of the largest and most handsome ber- 

 ries we have ever seen. The plant is a vigorous grower 

 and produces strong, healthy foliage. They are very pro- 

 ductive, and as stated above, the berries are beautiful — 

 they are uniformly large, bright red in color, with a 

 large green cap which makes them doubly attractive. The 

 quality is poor, but the berries are firm and will carry 

 as well as any variety we have ever seen, not even ex- 

 cepting Klondyke and Twilley. On the large markets, 

 the appearance of berries is more important than qual- 

 ity — this being true, we believe the Lupton, by reason 

 of its large size, handsome appearance and excellent 

 shipping qualities, is destined to be one of the best 

 money-making strawberries on our list. Price $10 per 

 thousand. 



Magic Gem... A vigorous grower with leaves and stems 

 very thick and tough, which makes it most resistant to 

 insects and diseases. The berries are borne in great 

 abundance and are very large in size, with a large, green 

 cap and bright yellow seeds, making them very attrac- 

 tive. 



Marshall. (Norwood). A fancy old variety. Its weak 

 point is its lack of vigor and productiveness. The fruit 

 quart for quart is hardly equaled, except possibly by 

 Chesapeake. Price $12 per thousand. 



/'Jfew York. Vigorous grower. Quite productive of 

 large dark red berries. It is the sweetest berry we grow 

 and very popular for home garden planting. 



PAUL JONES. Without exception, the most produc- 

 tive berry we have ever seen. A vigorous grower, making 

 , plenty of plants for a good fruiting bed. This year, on 

 high, sandy land, the plants produced for us over 5,000 

 quarts per acre and if it had all been as good as some 

 of the more moist spots, we believe they would have 

 produced 8,000 to 10,000 quarts, without any manure 

 or fertilizer being applied, either at planting time, or in 

 the spring before fruiting. The berries are rather long 

 and conical in shape, res<*mbl ? .D^ Haverland; but they are 

 somewhat darker in color and more attractive in appear- 

 ance. They are above m^d'u~n in size, ripen evenly all 

 over, of good quality and u ;?ood shipper. We use this 

 variety very largely in our fruiting patches. They will 

 grow almost anywhere, and they certainly do produce 

 the fruit. The blossoms are imperfect and should be 

 planted with Ekey, Big Joe, Tenn. Prolific, Gold Mine, or
