TRUE-TO-NAME STRAWBERRY PLANTS

WiHafH (Frances E.). This is a new variety, first introduced 
by M. Crawford Co., of Ohio, who describe it as 
follows: “This variety first came to our knowledge when the 
originator sent us a basket of fruit in June, 1912. The berries 
were about the size and shape of eggs, a beautiful glossy red in 
color, and of fine quality. The fruit so impressed us as being 
superior in all that goes to make a perfect berry that we purchased 
the whole stock from the originator.” With us last summer the 
plants made a strong, vigorous growth of foliage that showed 
absolutely no sign of disease. Last spring we had a few plants 
left for fruiting. They produced a heavy crop of berries that, 
while somewhat irregular in shape, were of large size and very 
handsome appearance. The quality was good and we believe the 
variety is going to prove valuable. Its large size and excellent qual¬ 
ity make Willard a desirable market variety. Price, $4 per 1,000 
WnnKiPvton After fruiting the Woolverton for many years 
■ mV”———_—1 we find it to be one of the most reliable of the 
old standard kinds. It bears an abundance of fine, large berries 
and will succeed better than most varieties on light soil, and has 
a long ripening season. It is no unusual thing to see ripe berries 
and blossoms on the plants at the same time. Price, $3.50 per 
1,000. 
York A new variety from Pennsylvania which ranks high in 
- - productiveness. The eating quality is simply delicious. 
It makes a vigorous ^healthy growth, with luxuriant dark green 
foliage. The berries*are long-pointed in shape and medium in 
size. Try a few in the garden. You will like it. Price, $4 per 
1,000.

ALLEN’S PLANTS BRING BETTER RESULTS 
IT WILL PAY YOU TO READ THIS 
The berry plants bought from you last spring came to hand 
in good condition and were fine plants. Nearly every plant 
lived and at the end of the season were as fine-looking a bed 
as you could wish to see. I think you will understand, when 
I say that they were fully up to the Allen standard, and from 
present appearances, I think I can expect a good crop next 
summer. I have found that Allen’s plants bring better results 
for me than any others I have ever tried, and shall send you an 
order later. With thanks 
for square dealing in the 
past and feeling sure of 
the same in 
the future, 
I am—H. L.

It has been several years since I sent you my first order. I 
have never forgotten how delighted I was with my little patch 
of berries and have always talked Allen’s plants to my friends. 
I keep your catalog here at the station and if I hear of anyone 
wanting plants, I show it to them. That is how I landed Mr. 
-and he is surely a pleased customer of yours. I have 
shown it to some people and they promised to 
give you their order, but sent it out West or 
some other place and, if they come to me to 
kick about their plants, I generally tell them if 
they had sent it to you, there would not 
have been any kick coming.—H. E. Gil¬

KNOWS FROM EXPERIENCE 
HOW FINER PLANTS ARE 
GROWN 
I bought my first order of plants 
from you several years ago and 
they were the first I 
ever bought from 
anyone, and fine 
lants they were, 
know now from 
experience that they 
do not grow any 
finer plants any¬
