Winner 



This new berry is a native of Pennsylvania, and fruited here for the first time last season. It is a strong, 

 vigorous grower, making long-jointed runners. Leaf-stems long; very productive of large-sized berries which 

 are borne on unusually long stems. Fruit is highly colored and very attractive. Berries somewhat irregular 

 in shape, running from long-conical to broadly conical. Blossoms perfect. The illustration on page 25 will 

 give you some slight idea of the appearance of this beautiful fruit when picked. It is firm enough for a 

 good shipper and is an all-round valuable berry. 



Wildwood 



One of the rankest growers on the farm, and a valuable addition to the list of home berries. The berries 

 are of medium size, bright scarlet in color and have that much-admired flavor of a wild Strawberry. It is 

 very productive and a berry that I am sure will please everyone who wants early berries for any other 

 purpose than that of long shipment. It is too soft for long shipment, but first-early for home table or home 

 market. This new variety comes to us from Iowa, and the name is suggested by its very delicious wild 

 Strawberry flavor and luxuriant growth of plants. Your garden will not be complete without a few 

 plants of this excellent variety. 



Wolverton. I have fruited this variety for a good many years, and find it to be one of the most reli- 

 able of the old standard varieties. It will succeed on almost any soil, but will do best on a sandy loam 

 where the soil is not too dry. The plants make a good growth and have perfect blossoms which make it 

 excellent for pollenizing purposes. It is no uncommon thing to see ripe berries and blossoms on this variety 

 at the same time. A good, reliable, standard sort. Introduced by the late John Little, of Ontario, Canada. 



MIXED PLANTS 



In filling a great many orders I usually have more or less odds and ends, and sometimes a plot of plants 

 will get mixed in the field so that I cannot use them for filling regular orders. Under this heading I offer 

 plants at a very low rate to those who are willing to take chances on what they get. When you order mixed 

 plants the only thing I guarantee is that you will get the amount of Strawberry plants that you order, 

 and they will be of one or more kinds that are listed in this catalogue — usually they are not labeled. Occa- 

 sionally, in handling a great 

 many plants, a label will get 

 torn from the basket in which 

 they are taken up and, as we 

 would have no means of know- 

 ing what these are, they would 

 be put in to fill any orders that 

 we might have for mixed 

 plants.

Distance No Barrier When 

 You Buy from Allen 

 I have delayed acknowledging 

 receipt of Strawberry plants until 

 they are well started. I have to 

 thank you for full measure and 

 a fine, healthy lot of plants. — G. 

 E. Corbett, Bermuda. 



If You Have Never Bought 



Allen's Plants Read This 



Plants received in first-class 



order, and more than first-class 



plants. I spent good money for 



different lots of plants from four 



different growers last year with 



very poor results. The plants I 



received from you beat any I 



ever received or have ever seen. 



In looking over them today I 



find them all starting off fine. — -

Just Our Way. Glad You Like It 

 Received plants all O. K.. they surprised me. 

 So fine, packed nice, in bunches with roots 

 all straight down, one plant like the other and 

 no scrubs in them. — Joseph Vogel, Jefferson 

 County, Mo., April 8, ion. 



Pacifice Coast Growers Please Take Notice 

 My plants arrived today in fine shape. The 

 growers in this locality, as well as myself, are 

 delighted with them.— D. P. Duncan, Los 

 Angeles County, California.
