TRUE-TO-NAME STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
Superb. Bears large crops of handsome berries 
SUPERB. Next to Progressive, we consider 
" Superb the most valuable of the 
everbearing varieties. In some sections, especially 
through the North, Superb has proven to be even 
better than the Progressive, but throughout the 
South, no everbearing variety but the Progressive 
should be planted. Superb will grow well, but it 
will not produce fruit like the Progressive. The 
Superb and Progressive are about equal in plant- 
growth. Superb produces fruit that is somewhat 
larger than the Progressive, but it does not produce 
anything like the amount the Progressive does, and 
the Superb berries are not quite so good in quality. 
We have a large stock of Superb and we have quite 
a demand for the plants, largely because in some 
sections it is the best everbearer to grow and also 
because it is one of the best spring-bearing varieties 
that we have grown, bearing heavy crops of berries 
that somewhat resemble the Chesapeake. Where 
Superb can be grown successfully, it is an excellent 
proposition both for the home garden and for 
market, 25 cts. to 35 cts. being an ordinary price 
for the fruit on a good market. Price, $10 per 1,000. 
Americus. Unsurpassed in quality. With us 
" it has been rather hard to grow and, 
even after grown, has proven to be a rather shy 
bearer. For those who can afford to raise a con¬ 
siderable number of plants for the satisfaction of 
eating in August, September, and October, some of 
the finest quality of Strawberries that can be grown, 
Americus is the variety. Price, 60 cts. for 25, $1.10 
for 50, $1.55 for 75, $2 per 100. 
Peerless. ^ new ever bearing variety, intro- 
- -1 duced by Samuel Cooper, of New 
York. Mr. Cooper also introduced the Superb and 
in comparison he says: ‘‘Peerless is better than 
Superb, being a more vigorous grower, more pro¬ 
ductive of somewhat larger size fruit and fully 
equal to Superb in quality." If, as Mr. Cooper 
says, Peerless is better than Superb in places where 
Superb does well, it is a very valuable variety, 
indeed. We recommend it for trial, and wish our 
friends would tell us of their tests. We paid $25 
per 100 for our stock of Peerless last spring and 
are offering them to the public at $5 per 100. 
Price, $2 for 25, $3 for 50, $4 for 75, $5 per 100. 
PROUD TO GROW OUR PLANTS 
I have been getting Strawberry plants from you ever since 
you have been in the business and can say with pride that 
everything has been satisfactory. I assure you when needing 
Strawberry plants I will remember you.—G. E. Geise, Colbert 
County, Ala., January 14, 1916. 
SAYS OUR PLANTS ARE THE BEST 
I liked your berry plants and had such fine berries from them. 
I tried other berries but yours were the best.— Mrs. D. O. 
Wendt, Appanoose County, Iowa, February 16, 1916. 
I ASSURE YOU THERE ARE NONE BETTER 
I don’t know that your plants are the best grown, but they 
were the finest I ever bought, and it seems that they are about 
to monopolize the trade in this neighborhood.—C. R. Coble, 
Shelby County, Tenn., March 1, 1916. 
THEY INSPIRE CONFIDENCE 
When I order plants from “Allen” I never wonder what the 
quality will be, for I feel sure they will come in A No. 1 con¬ 
dition, as they have always done.—F. L. Smith, Logan County, 
Ky., January 15, 1916. 
GREW OVER A FOOT HIGH 
The plants I received from you were fine ones and were in 
good shape when they were received. They made a wonderful 
growth last summer. Some of the Chesapeake grew plants 
over a foot high.— Chas. S. Watkins, Elmore County, Idaho, 
March 10, 1916. 
DISTANCE NO BARRIER 
Shipping had no effect on the plants you sent me. They did 
just as well as the plants I raised and that were set out as 
fast as they were dug.— Royal M. Garn, Sandusky County, 
Ohio, January 14, 1916.
