TRUE-TO-NAME 
MID-SEASON STRAW¬ 
BERRIES, continued 
GLEN MARY. 9 r 'J • 
-- mated 
in Pennsylvania and introduced 
by Mr. W. F. Allen twenty years 
ago. Since then it has be¬ 
come very popular through¬ 
out New England and the 
northern half of the United 
States. Many growers consider 
it the most profitable of all va¬ 
rieties to grow on account of its 
great productiveness. Some of 
our customers have reported 
more than 10,000 quarts per acre 
from this variety. The berry is 
firm enough for distant ship¬ 
ment; it is of handsome appear¬ 
ance and good quality. For this 
reason it is popular both as a 
fancy local-market berry and as 
a shipper. The fruit is of large 
size, dark red in color, with 
prominent seeds of bright yellow. 
The meat is rich and juicy and 
of such high flavor that when 
once eaten more is wanted. 
Glen Mary is a strong grower 
which makes large, healthy 
plants with an abundance of 
dark green foliage. The blos¬ 
soms are about half-perfect but 
Ekey (see page 28). Large and handsome carry enough pollen to fruit its 
own berries. Glen Mary is so 
well known by the majority of Strawberry-growers, that those who have grown it will continue to plant 
this variety regardless of how thoroughly we shall describe it. Although Glen Mary produces enough 
pollen to fruit its own berries, we believe the yield can be increased and the size of the fruit increased 
by planting with it some strong 
pollenizer, such as Big Joe, Ekey, 
Rewastico, or Gold Dollar. One 
of our New Jersey customers 
says: “The Glen Mary is the 
only variety with which I have 
made a success." And we often 
have reports similar to this 
about Glen Mary. Given the 
same treatment, we doubt if 
there is any variety in the 
country that will produce more 
quarts to the acre than Glen 
Mary. Not only is it a very 
heavy cropper, but the berries 
are of such quality and attrac¬ 
tiveness that they bring top price 
on the market. Our stock of 
Glen Mary this year gives prom¬ 
ise of being unusually fine and 
we should like all of our custom¬ 
ers and others who read this 
catalog, especially those in the 
North, to include it in their order 
next spring. Price, $4 per 1,000. 
THE SECRET OF SUCCESS 
The Strawberiy plants I received 
from you last spring have done fine, as 
all the plants I ever bought of you 
have done. I have never had an occa¬ 
sion to enter any complaint, and I have 
been buying plants from you for the 
last eighteen years. One great secret 
of success in growing Strawberries is 
to get your plants in the ground early. 
Then tend to them well.—G eo. P.
