THE W. F. ALLEN CO., SALISBURY, MD. 
MID-SEASON STRAWBERRIES, continued 
Rewastico. Immensely productive, 
uniformly large size; fine shipper 
Paul Jones 
Strawberry 
berries, which are rather long and light in color, 
closely resembling the Haverland. It is an excellent 
shipper. It is claimed that berries, kept a week in 
a common cellar, were exhibited at the Worcester 
County Horticultural Society in Massachusetts by 
the side of fresh-picked berries and that the only 
difference in appearance was the added richness in 
color in the week-old berries. We are going to plant 
heavily of this for fruiting purposes and we advise 
our customers to include this in their plantings. Big 
Joe, Rewastico, Saunders, Twilley, Ekey, Longfellow, 
and Gold Dollar are all good varieties to plant with 
the Paul Jones.. Price, $4 per 1,000. 
PPWAQTim The berries of this variety 
are a light cardinal-red, uni¬ 
formly large and regular in shape.. The fruit is very 
firm in texture and will stand shipment to distant 
markets. The quality is rich with an aromatic 
Strawberry flavor though somewhat tart. One of 
our Kansas customers, who bought 25,000 plants 
in the spring of 1915, fruited the Rewastico last 
spring. He says: “I certainly am well pleased with 
the Rewastico. I started picking June 1 and picked 
the last time, June 22. From the four acres I 
over 1,000 crates of 24 full quarts; besides there 
were fully 200 crates I had to let go an account of 
the heavy rains. The growers around here seem to 
think well of the Rewastico, and I would like quo¬ 
tations on several hundred thousand plants." In 
addition to its value as a shipping berry, we believe 
Rewastico would make an excellent canning berry. 
Let us have your order for Rewastico early, so that 
we can reserve the plants for you. Price, $4 per 
1,000. 
Of Canadian origin, with 
perfect blossoms. This is one 
Saunders. 
of the few varieties that give best results on medium 
or light soils. It is a good berry, and no one would 
go far wrong in planting it. The fruit is large and 
dark glossy red, very firm and of good flavor. Price, 
$3.50 per 1,006. 
Seems to be espe¬ 
cially popular around 
Tennessee Prolific. 
Washington, D. C., and the surrounding country. 
As indicated by its name, it is very prolific. The 
berries are of large size and rather light in color. 
The flesh is fine grained and firm enough to make a 
good shipper. It is equally popular as a canner. 
Tennessee Prolific has been on the market about 
thirty years and the demand for it today is as great 
as ever. The blossoms are perfect and make one of 
the best staminate varieties to plant with medium- 
early, or mid-season pistillate varieties. Price, $3.50 
per 1,000. 
HTFi vpp WF’c. Took first prize in the World’s 
A N Fair at St Louig and made a 
record of keeping ten days. The plants are large, 
robust, and amply able to produce big crops. The 
fruit is large, of fine quality, produces very freely, 
covering a long season from medium early to late. 
The blossoms of Three W’s are very resistant to late 
frosts, seldom being affected by them. This point 
makes it especially valuable in the North and, as it 
is one of the strongest pollenizers of imperfect va¬ 
rieties, it is widely used to pollenize such varieties 
as Sample, Bubach, Haverland, Paul Jones, Hustler, 
etc. Price, $3.50 per 1,000. 
AND YOU SHALL NEVER REGRET IT 
I have always been much pleased with the way my 
orders have been handled by W. F. Allen and always 
have received plants of excellent quality. As long as 
I grow berries, I guess Allen will get my orders 
for plants.— H. F. Pittenger,
