ALLEN’S STRAWBERRY PLANT CATALOGUE. 
6 
named. Glen Mary is a semi staminate and while it is alright to plant alone 
I do not advise its use to plant with pistillate varieties. I have been asked for 
above information so often I have it printed here for the information of all. 
H model Voting Plant* 
This plant is the offspring of a heal¬ 
thy parent that was well cultivated 
and not starved out. Neither was the 
parent of these plants allowed to bear 
fruit or grow among weeds either of 
which is very detrimental to the health 
and vigor of a strawberry plant. Now 
friends don’t understand me to say that 
all my plants are as heavily rooted as 
this one for they are not. While I have 
millions of plants as good as this one 
quite a number of varieties will not 
make thick stocky plants like this. 
Among that class I might name Cres 
cent, Excelsior, Hoffman, Mitchei s 
Early, Splendid. Senator Dunlap and 
Warfield, While these varieties have 
some plants as large and stocky as the 
one here illustrated on the average 
they are not so large, but all of my 
plants are grown in good land from 
healthy vigorous plants that are never 
allowed to bear fruit or to associate 
with weeds. They are grown in light 
sandy loam and in digging we get 
nearly all the young fibrous roots 
with the plant which is impossible 
when plants are grown in sticky clay 
soil. 
It sometimes happens that I send 
two catalogues to one address. If 
you should receive more than one 
copy, please hand the extra one to 
some friend who will be interested 
in it.
