ALLEN’S STRAWBERRY CATALOGUE. 
9 
PRIDE OF CUMBERLAND. —Plant is a vigorous grower. The bloom is per¬ 
fect, ripens about one week earlier than the Gandy Prize; it is nearly as large, 
equally as firm, as good a color and a great deal more productive. Like the 
Gandy Prize it will carry from Florida to Boston, from Louisana to Chicago, 
and arriye firm and fresh and with its brilliant red color not the leasi bit 
dimmed. Thrives on any soil, but owing to the immense crop it sets, should 
to obtain the best results, be well fertilized. The fruit is equal t<> the Gandy in 
every respect, is one week earlier and 
will produce a fine crop of ’fruit on 
high land, where Gandy is almost sure 
to be a failure. I am highly pleased 
with this berry and will plant at least 
25 acres of this variety for fruit. I 
considerit one of the best.
