THE W. F. ALLEN CO., SALISBURY, MD. 
Bubach. A reliable berry for all markets; sells for a price above the average 
Mid-Season Strawberries 
Abington. 
An old variety that has enjoyed 
great popularity. Produces large, 
good-quality berries, especially good for the home- 
table. Blossoms are perfect. Price, $6 per i ,000. 
Riirmpr The Banner is claimed by prominent 
uaiiiitsi. California Strawberry-growers to be 
the best of all the market varieties because of its uni¬ 
formly large size, glossy red appearance, firmness, 
good quality, and always being showy, on which ac¬ 
count the dealers prefer it. Our stock of plants was 
secured from a prominent California grower and we 
recommended growers in this state to plant it exten¬ 
sively. It would also be a good one to try in all 
Strawberry-growing sections. The foliage resembles 
Marshall, but with us it makes a more vigorous 
growth; if it is found to be an improved Marshall, it 
is indeed well worth while. Price, $7 per 1,000. 
Originated in Pennsylvania by 
Mr. A. K. Beiler, who is very en¬ 
thusiastic about it. It seems to be quite 
similar to the New York. We recommend 
planting it as a home-garden berry, because 
of its high quality. It has proved satisfac¬ 
tory on our grounds and has every 
promise of becoming a profitable 
sort. Price, $7 per 1,000. 
Big Valley. 
RTIRATH A fancy, old standard that is 
uuunuii. especially popular with many 
growers in the middle and northern states. One of 
our customers says his Bubachs were by far the 
finest Strawberries and brought the best price of any 
on his market. The illustration will show you what a 
fine appearance it makes in the package. Although 
an extremely old variety, our strain of Bubach has 
not lost any of its old-time vigor. It makes ample 
runners for a good fruiting bed. The blossoms are 
imperfect and should be planted with Big Joe, Sena¬ 
tor Dunlap, Ekey, or Twilley. Bubach is a veteran 
that stands high in the world of fancy Strawberries. 
Price, $6 per 1,000. _ 
DELAYED, BUT STILL IN GOOD CONDITION 
I received 500 Straw-t berry plants today. Although they 
were delayed in ship-V A ment, they were still in 
good condition, due to V wL the care with which 
they had been packed.— Miss Myrtle C. Shee-
