ALLEN’S STRAWBERRY PLANT CATALOGUE. 
SAMPLE.—Sample has come to be one of th* reliable standard varieties. 
It seems to be giv¬ 
ing universal sat¬ 
is f ac tion in all 
seciions. In proof 
of this, last season 
I had a large stock 
of plants and ex¬ 
pected to fill all 
orders; but before 
theseason was half 
gone, every plant 
of sample I had 
was sold. The 
plant is a strong 
vigorous grower, 
very productive, 
uniform in size, 
medium large, tex¬ 
ture firm, making 
an excellent ship¬ 
per. The berries 
color all over at 
once,and look very 
pretty in the pack¬ 
age. When this 
new variety was 
first offered, I paid 
00 for a single 
thousand plants, 
but I am quite 
sure that it was a 
good purchase. I 
can recommend 
those who want a 
good commercial 
variety - that they 
can depend on, to 
plant liberally of 
Sample, and I do 
not think any one 
would regret so do¬ 
ing. My stock this 
season is large and 
fine, and unless the 
demand is very 
strong, I hope to 
have enough to fill all orders. 
SAUNDERS.—This is a good reliable standard sort, and has always been 
quite a favorite with me. I have grown many acres for fruit, and have found 
it to be very reliable. It has a strong perfect blossom, and is one of the best to 
plant with pistillate varieties, as it blooms for a longer season than most kinds. 
The fruit is large. It is a deep red, and remarkably glossy. The flesh is of same 
color, and has a spritelv agreeable flavor. The Saunders is especially adapted 
to light sandy soils, and I believe it would do better on a light loam than on a 
clay soil. 
SUTHERLAND.—This variety was set outlast year by Mr. Eugene Suther¬ 
land of New York state. Plants have a dark green foliage and no rust. They 
make a good quantity of well rooted plants. Mr. Sutherland says, “that the 
Sutherland is a seedling of the Bubach, with strong, vigorous, healthy foliage, 
and the greatest bearer he has ever seen. The fruit is large, bright color, and 
has an elegant flavor. Blossom imptrfect.”
