ALLEN'S STRAWBERRY CATALOGUE 
GLEN MARY— This giant among strawberries was first offered to the pub¬ 
lic by me in the spring of 1896. I have watched every word that has been writ¬ 
ten or said concerning this variety. I am now satisfied that, all things con¬ 
sidered, it is without an equal. It being large to very large in size, one of the 
most productive ever grown; of strong, sturdy and healthy growth; highly 
•colored, firm for a large berry, and ranks with the best in flavor. 
In the summer of 1899 the Glen 
Mary became famous, having beaten all 
previous records for size. Mr. Joseph 
Haywood one of my customers who 
livef near Philadelphia sent in to the 
Farm Journal office a quart box that 
was filled to the top with (4) berries of 
the Glen Mary. This beats all previous 
records to date. Mr. Haywood raised one berry that weighed four ounces and 
a good many that weighed over three ounces. A few who have Glen Mary 
complain of rust and in fact it rusted badly with me in 1898, but last year it 
was fine and nine tenths of all the reports w T e get are very flattering. The 
demand for Glen Mary plants last year was larger than for any other of 
our varieties and the indications are that I will not be able to supply the de¬ 
mand this spring although I have a large stock. Those who want Glen Mary 
best not wait too late to order as I have never hsd plarts enough to fill all 
orders received.
