THE W. F. ALLEN CO., SALISBURY, MD. 
VERY LATE STRAWBERRIES, continued 
are picked. The flavor of the berries is excellent. Kellogg’s Prize is one of 
the most productive very late varieties we have seen and it holds its size 
well until the end of the season. A good point about this variety is that 
it gets better with each succeeding season, giving two or three big crops 
of very fine berries. We are hearing good reports from it everywhere and 
we have grown a large stock, hoping to be able to supply the demand, 
which is increasing each year. Price, $5 per 1,000. 
MaSCOt. ^ ants make a strong healthy growth with plenty of runners 
- - and are very productive. We have picked several quarts of 
this variety, twenty-seven filling a quart-basket heaping full. The berries 
are rich glossy red and of good quality. Not quite so late as Orem, but in 
other ways compares favorably with that variety. Price, $3.50 per 1,000. 
Orem. Th * s * s t ^ ie very * atest berry that we have and it is a good one. 
- 1 Many growers, especially those who are supplying a local 
market, are planting Orem to extend their season as long as possible. The 
plant is a vigorous grower and produces a big crop of large bright red berries 
that have a beautiful green cap, making them show up very nicely in the 
package. The berries are excellent in quality and this fact coupled with 
their large size, attractive appearance, and extreme lateness of season, 
makes them a valuable variety for the market-gardener. They bring good 
prices after all other fancy berries are gone. Price, $4 per 1,000. 
Pearl. ^ perfect-flowering variety which originated in Indiana. It is 
- - claimed that on the farm of the originator it bears large-sized 
fruit several days after the Gandy has ceased bearing. It holds up in size 
and quality until the last picking. The berries ripen evenly and are of good 
quality and uniformly large. The foliage is free from rust and is able to 
withstand the drought much better than most other varieties. Pearl is a 
good pollenizer of Kellogg’s Prize, Sample, and Hustler. Price, $5 per 1,000.
