THE W. F. ALLEN CO., SALISBURY, M D. 
Fendall. 
For fancy 
berries and 
lots of them this is a va¬ 
riety that will give great 
satisfaction. The berries 
are large and fine-flavored; 
rich in color, smooth and 
glossy, and described 
by some as being “per¬ 
fectly beautiful.” It has 
long stems* and large 
caps. We have fruited 
the Fendall several times 
and find it to be a strong 
grower, with luxuriant, 
light green foliage. For 
the last two years we have 
not been able to supply 
the demand. Fendall 
makes a handsome show 
in the market, with its 
large caps and brilliant 
berries, and always brings 
fancy prices. 
First-Quality. The flavor makes you want more berries 
First-Quality. 
We have fruited this excellent 
variety now several times and 
find it to be all that the introducer claims. We con¬ 
sider it one of the promising new varieties of recent 
introduction. We especially recommend this in 
the northern and New England states, and we feel 
sure you will make no mistake in planting it. The 
berries are large and pointed, somewhat like the 
Haverland. It is a great cropper, fairly uniform in 
shape and color; there is something about the flavor 
that causes you to want more. The plants are 
vigorous and healthy, and it is one of the best growers 
on the farm. It seems to us that this 
variety has been somewhat over¬ 
looked, as the demand for 
it does not seem to be so 
strong as its merits deserve. 
Try it. 
WE SEND NO CULLS 
Yours received. No 
use of mentioning the 
excluding of culls, as 
your plants are all A 
No. i and, with 
one exception, the 
only good plants I 
have ever had.—

Fendall. A fancy fruit that pleases the grower and the buyer 
p j Probably no higher compliment could 
uanuy. paid to var iety than the fact 
that all other late varieties are compared by it. For 
best results it should be planted in black, swampy 
land, or if this is not possible in springy land with 
some clay in its makeup, but never plant Gandy 
on dry, sandy land. It is a reliable old standby and 
a great favorite in the market. Gandy makes a 
vigorous, healthy growth, and if planted in soil as 
recommended above, it will produce a good crop of 
large, uniform, highly colored, firm berries that 
will bring top prices in any market. See illustration, 
page 9. 
pi rM MARY This variety originated 
uLicii iTi/\rv i . • n p ennS yi van i a an d was 
introduced by our Mr. W. F. Allen twenty 
years ago; since then it has become very 
popular throughout New 
England and the northern 
half of the United States. 
Many growers consider it the 
most profitable of all berries 
to grow, on account of its 
great productiveness. Some 
of our customers often get as 
many as 10,000 quarts 
to the acre from this 
variety. The berry is 
firm enough for distant 
shipment. It is 
of handsome ap¬ 
pearance and 
good quality; for 
this reason it is 
popular both as 
a fancy, local 
market berry 
and as a shipper. 
It always brings 
the best prices. 
Fruit is of large 
size, dark red, 
with prominent 
seeds of bright 
yellow. The 
meat is rich and 
juicy and of such 
high flavor that 
when once eaten 
more is wanted.
