W. F. ALLEN’S CATALOGUE,, SALISBURY, MD. 
OREM.—This variety is sent out by M. Craw¬ 
ford Company, of Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, 
but seems to have originated in Maryland. As I 
have not fruited ihis I will use the originator’s de¬ 
scription, which is as follows : “The Orem is a vig¬ 
orous grower and has fine foliage to protect the 
beautiful berries from the hot sun. It comes in with 
the Gandy and bears an abundance of fine berries 
long after the Gandy are gone, and bears about three 
times as many as the Gandy. The berries are ex¬ 
ceedingly large and smooth, ligh red with yellow 
seeds and dark green caps which makes them very 
attractive. B ing very firm it can be left on the 
vines two or three days after they are ripe and still 
be in first-class shape for market.”

FLORELLA- —This is a Southern berry from 
Georgia and originated by a Mr. 
Brown. The Florella is thought to be a cross of 
Bubach and Lady Thomson. It has a beautiful dark 
green foliage, entirely free from rust, and its root 
system is splendid, sending out large, fiberous roots 
to a great distance. The berries are large to very 
large, crimson color and fine flavor, and almost as 
perfect in form as if each berry were molded. Fruit 
stems are long and staTky, which hold the berries up 
well from the dirt. The 'season of ripening is nearly 
as early as T ady Thomson, and its firmness com¬ 
mends it to the commercial grower. For the three 
or four years that I have be m watching this variety 
here it has made a very satisfactory showing of 
fancy, large, round, conical berries that could hardly 
fail to bring the highest market price. 
GLEN MARY. -T he Glen Mary has now become 
too well known to need a 
lengthy description. Originated in West Chester, Pa., 
and introduced by myself in 1900, it has become one 
of the leading standard varieties throughout New 
England, the Middle West and the Northwest. I 
doubt if there is a more popular berry throughout this 
vast region than the Glen Mary. This variety has 
never seemed to wane in its popularity since its first 
introduction. One customer from Connecticut says : 
“I have found no plant to come up with Glen Mary, 
taking all sides of the question into consideration.” 
Another customer from Ohio says: “Glen Mary is the 
berry for this State.” Another customer reports : “I 
have grown the Glen Mary for several years and find 
it my most profitable variety.” Another customer from 
New Jersey writes: “It is (he only variety with 
which I have made a success.” Another writes : “I 
do not know why, but we have tried several varieties 
and none of them seem to do as well as the Glen 
Mary.” The Glen Mary is only serai-staminate, but 
as its blossoms carry enough pollen to fruit its own 
berries it is listed as a staminate variety, but I would 
not recommend it to plant with pistillate varieties as 
a pollenizer. The berries are big, dark red beauties, 
with prominent seeds of bright yellow ; the meat is 
rich and juicy and crimson in color. They are of 
such high flavor that when once eaten more are 
wanted. As a good, firm shipper it is very popular ; 
for fancy local market there are few. if any, better. 
For this reason they are popular with both the large 
and small growers. It has no particular soils and 
does not require petting. The roots are long and well 
developed, providing plenty of moisture during a 
drouth. The foliage is large, upright in growth, dark 
green in color. A good, safe berry for everyone to 
plant in the section named.
