THE W. F. ALLEN CO., SALISBURY, MD. 
James E. 
KELLOGG’S PRIZE. 
A good, large-fruiting, medium-early 
variety from Virginia. Makeb a fine 
growth and bears an enormous crop of large, attrac¬ 
tive berries, brilliant in color and fine in quality. 
Good for nearby markets. Well worth a trial. 
Kansas Fruit is above medium in size, and 
IVanSao. t h e pi an t j s immensely productive. 
The color is a brilliant crimson clear through the 
berry; it is one of the most fragrant of Strawberries 
and the plants are free from rust and other diseases. 
Blossoms are pistillate and its season of ripening 
medium to late. It is a very fine berry for canning 
and preserving. 
We have been offering 
this variety for two 
years, and have sold all of our plants each year; for 
this reason we have not seen this variety in fruit, 
but the originator describes it as follows: “Kellogg’s 
Prize is as remarkable for the high quality of its 
fruit, as for its immense yields which nave made it 
famous wherever grown. This variety fruits from 
midseason to extremely late; the fruit is of high 
color, delicious flavor and large size; an ideal berry 
for the family garden or for the extensive grower.” 
It is claimed to cover a long season and bear a little 
later than Sample and Stevens’ Late Champion. 
We have a large stock of this variety this year, and 
hope to be able to supply all our 
customers. See illus-

Lea. A great 
market berry 
fnrnpillp Originated in Louisiana, and 
Corneille. J s SSL ^ to better than the 
Klondyke. We fruited it last year for the first time 
and, under unfavorable conditions, it did very good 
indeed. Plant is a strong grower and grows well on 
almost any soil. Blossoms are perfect, and the 
berries are large, conical in shape, uniform in size, 
and hold out until the end of the season. The fruit 
is dark red in color and covered with golden seeds, 
which stand out prominently and give ample proof 
of its firmness and ability to withstand long-distance 
shipments. Many who have fruited it largely claim 
that it is better than Klondyke, and if it is, it is 
very good indeed. 
I „ This variety has been so 
.Lady 1 hompson. extensively grown it hardly 
seems necessary to say much about it. For many 
years it was practically the only variety grown in 
the great Strawberry sections of North Carolina. 
It makes strong, vigorous, healthy plants that pro¬ 
duce large crops of medium-large, handsome, firm 
and well-shaped berries. It is an old standard that 
is used as a fancy shipping berry in many sections 
of the South. 
| A strong, sturdy grower, without a spot of 
L«ea. rust or other defect in its foliage. Blossoms 
perfect, ripening evenly, while productive, uniformly 
large in size. Southern 
growers who have tried 
it speak in the highest 
terms of its value as a 
market berry. The 
originator says: “It is 
the best thing I have 
in the Strawberry line. 
Lea sold with Bubach, 
and will stand more 
rainy weather and keep 
in better condition 
than any berry I ever 
grew.” This is a great 
market berry in every 
way, and should be 
planted more exten¬ 
sively than it has been. 
K1 nWnVKF This is one of the most largely 
ItLiUniJ I IVC. g rown varieties in the United 
States. Acres and acres are being planted all 
throughout the South; it is one of the best shippers 
and demands top prices in the market, frequently 
bringing a premium over other varieties; this is 
largely due to its good, uniform size and unusual 
firmness and flavor. Klondyke is a vigorous grower 
and is adapted to a wide variety of soils. It is 
especially popular in the middle and southern 
states. Many large associations in the South are 
planting Klondyke for their main crop. The berries 
ripen evenly, and this, with its good quality, uniform 
size, color and firmness, make it probably the most 
popular berry for the middle and southern states. 
This, however, does not imply that it is not a 
valuable variety in the North also. See illustration 
in natural colors, page 44. 
1 D This variety was originated in Michigan 
La and we are offering it this year for the 
first time. It is described by the introducer as 
follows: “It is hardy, a good plant-maker and a good 
producer. Fruit is of large size and good quality, 
and the berry has a firm, glossy skin. It is very 
desirable as a shipping berry, and the extra-long 
roots make it a good drought-resisting variety. We 
have only a few this year, but we ^re going to give 
our trade a chance to try it out. 
As an all-round berry, Long- 
• fellow stands very high; it 
ripens medium early, has perfect blossoms, and is 
very productive. The berries are long, conical in 
shape, highly colored and of excellent quality. It 
makes a most attractive appearance in market, and 
is eagerly bought up. Like Senator Dunlap, it is a 
good, safe, reliable variety to plant. See illustra¬ 
tion in natural colors, page 34. 
I • _ i AW11A „ p • « We fruited this variety 
Late Jersey biant. last yea ^ for the first 
time. It produced a good crop of immensely large 
berries that were highly colored and almost perfectly 
round; the quality was very good, but the extra- 
large size was the most prominent feature of the 
variety, and when picked a basket of these berries 
was about as fancy as Strawberries can be. The 
introducer says of it: “I regard it as the most beau¬ 
tiful Strawberry I have ever seen. Blossoms are 
strongly staminate, and are held up by the foliage; 
the yield is enormous, berries are of immense size, 
truly mammoth, heart-shaped, with blunt apex and 
exceptionally uniform in shape and size; surface is 
smooth and of a most beautiful color, and the 
berries are of meaty texture, which makes them less 
liable to ‘bleed’ when handled.” We recommend it 
for trial as a fancy, very large, late berry. See illus¬ 
tration, page 13.
