ALLEN’S STRAWBERRY CATALOGUE. 
SENATOR DUNLAP— This is a new berry, sent out last spring for the first 
time by Mr. Crawford, and was very strongly endorsed by him. In his July, 
1900, report on strawberries, Mr. Crawford expresses himself as follows: 
•‘To me the most important result of my observation this season is the con¬ 
viction that the Senator Dunlap is now the greatest all round variety ever in¬ 
troduced. What I had seen and heard heretofore led me to this belief, and 
now it is confirmed. I believe the Senator Dunlap will take its place, not with 
the Haverland, Bubach,and Clyde, for it is in a class above them,but at the top 
of class that contains the Wm. Belt, Sample and Nick Ohmer. In size it is not 
the equal of any of these, but aside from size, it has more to recommend it than 
any other variety now on the market with which I am acquainted. It is of the 
Warfield type, has a perfect blossom, is hardy, productive, a splendid keeper, 
and is able to hold its own under any “rough and tumble” method of culture 
to which it is likely to be subjected. So far there has been no sign of rust. 
The plant is wonderfully productive and generally brings every berry to ma¬ 
turity. The berry resembles the Warfield in size andfcolor, ripens at the same 
time and remains in bearing until late, it is most beautiful in form and color, 
has a slight neck, is easily picked and hulled. > 
Personally speaking, I have not fruited Senator Dunlap except on spring 
set plants, and from what I could see they were very much as Mr. Crawford 
says. As to growth, I can say it is a very strong grower and a healthy plant. 
B1SITARCK—Bismark is a self fertilizing strawberry, possessing all the 
desirable peculiarities of Bubach No. 5. To those familiar with the Bubach, 
nothing further need be said since Bubach has been a favorite berry, and more 
plants have been planted than of any other. Bubach has two defects which 
Bismark corrects. Bubach is a pistil¬ 
late requiring other varieties to be 
planted near it, while Bismarck is self¬ 
fertilizing. Bubach while of good qual¬ 
ity, is not of the highest character. 
Bismarck is of better quality. We have 
in Bismarck an extraordinarily large 
berry, glossy, fine color, good shape, 
and good quality with vigorous plants 
full of vitality. 
UP TO DATE— Is supposed to be a seedling of Haverland fertilized by Jes¬ 
sie, possessing the good qualities of both. Fruit of largest size and very regu¬ 
lar in shape, being long, conical and slightly necked; dark red tu the centre. 
Large staminate blossoms containing a very large amount of pollen, commences 
to bloom early and continues very late, making it one of the best fertilizers for 
medium early to Very late pistillate varieties. The plant is a strong, healthy 
grower, makes plants freely, but does not mat in the rows like the Crescent or 
W arfield. ’ ’ —Originator.
