ALLEN'S STRAWBERRY PLANT CATALOGUE. 
TENNESSEE PROLIFIC. —Large, good color, productive, tree from rusts 
and ranks among the best in the strawberry list. It is a seedling of Sharpies, 
and Crescent, showing the parentage of both; fruit being somewhat similar to 
the former in shape, color and size, and very much like the latter in its vigorous 
healthy growth of vines. The leaves however, are larger than those of the 
Crescent, and a lighter shade of green. It is one of the most productive varieties 
in the list of standard berries, and is largely grown by the commercial grower. 
Last year we could supply out little more than half the demand for this variety. 
I wish to say, however, to any that were disappointed last season in getting this 
berry, that I think I have enough now to supply all who want it this spring. 
MONITOR. —Originated on the grounds of Mr. Z. T. Russell, of Carthage, 
Mo., in 1893, It was introduced in 1900 by Dr. Beal of Mo. It is a very fine 
grower, and makes an abundance of plants with very green foliage, free from 
rust, and will almost equal Senator Dunlap as a plant maker. Dr. Beal de¬ 
scribes this berry as follows: “It has all the productiveness of the Crescent, and 
beautiful vigorous foliage of Cap. Jack, and is much larger and more firm than 
the Cumberland. It is a fine plant maker, foliage being so luxuriant, that the 
berries never suffer from the hot sunshine. The blossoms are perfect, being 
unusually rich in pollen.” This variety has not fruited here yet. 
WARFIELD .—It is very productive, of medium size, highly colored, and 
very firm berries. The color and good carrying qualities combine to make it an 
attractive market variety. For canning it is one of the best. This is especially 
popular with the Western growers. My stock of this variety is especially fine.
