ALLEN’S BOOK OF BERRIES 
ship. Very productive. Price $6 per thousand.

rich flesh and high color. It is a vigorous grower and 
persistent plant maker. If not allowed to get too thick 
it will produce a great crop of medium-sized, highly flav¬ 
ored and highly colored berries. Blossoms imperfect. 
Plant with Rewahico, Ekey, Big Joe, Magic Gem, etc. 
Price $6 per thousand. 
LATE VARIETIES 
Amanda. The largest berry we have ever seen. Plants 
are large, vigorous and healthy. Blossoms are perfect. 
The fruit is dark red in color and of good quality. It is 
very productive. Price $8 per thousand. 
Aroma. One of the finest late strawberries and the 
only late one grown in many parts of the great straw¬ 
berry growing sections < ( the country. The blossoms 
are perfect and very rich ... pollen, making it good to 
plant with Hustler, Sample, Haverland, Kellogg’s Prize 
and other fancy pistillate varieties. The berries are 
large in size, rich in color and deliciously aromatic in 
flavor. They have handsome green caps, which make the 
fruit show up exceptionally good in the package. The 
berries are firm in texture and solid enough to make an 
excellent shipping berry. Sells with the best. Price $6 
per thousand. 
BIG LATE (Kellogg’s). Our stock was secured from 
the introducer, so we have them absolutely true-to-name. 
We fruited it last year and think so well of it that we in¬ 
tend to plant it largely for fruit. The berries are super¬ 
fine in quality, conical in shape, large in size and are 
bright, glossy red in color. They are firm enough to ship 
and handsome enough to command top prices. We expect, 
in our own planting to pollenize it with Big Joe and we 
believe these two will make an excellent combination. 
Price $8 per thousand. 
Brandywine. A good late variety for all sections, es¬ 
pecially popular in semi-tropical and tropical sections, as 
Bermuda, Cuba, Pacific Coast and Gulf states. The plant 
is healthy and vigorous and produces a fine crop of large, 
handsome fruit. Price $6 per thousand. 
CHESAPEAKE. The standard of excellence, by which 
most other fancy berries are compared. With fair grow¬ 
ing conditions, just about enough plants are produced 
for a good fruiting bed, so that you are at no expense in 
thinning the plants. The foliage is very strong and healthy. 
The plants are very strong and robust and have very long- 
roots, which make it one of the best drought resisters. 
Berries are uniformly large, with prominent yellow seeds 
and an attractive bright green cap, altogether, making 
Chesapeake one of the most beautiful and attractive ber¬ 
ries in the package that we have ever seen. The berries 
are unexcelled in quality. The plants set a good crop and 
every blossom matures a berry, the last ones being just 
about as large as the first. The flesh is very firm in tex¬ 
ture and the berries will keep for many days in excellent 
condition, so that altogether it is an ideal berry for home 
use, for local market, or for distant shipment. One of 
the most valuable features of the Chesapeake, especial¬ 
ly in the north is that the blossoms don’t start out until 
quite late, which makes it practically frost-proof. Price 
$10 per thousand. 
Commonwealth. Needs rich soil and high culture, to 
obtain the best results. Berries are of good quality, large 
size and high color. Price $10 per thousand. 
Evening Star. The introducer says “Evening Star is 
the best all around late berry I have ever grown and I 
have tried out all of them. Berries are very large and 
firm and it is the latest of all berries on my list.” Price 
$8 per thousand. 
Fendall. The berries are large in size, rather light in 
color and with large, attractive green caps. Blossoms are 
imperfect and should be planted with Aroma, Big Joe, 
Ekey, or Magic Gem. Fendall, like Haverland, is unable 
to hold the great bunches of fruit off the ground and 
should be well mulched on this account. Price $8 per 
thousand. 
First duality. Especially recommended for New Eng¬ 
land and other northern states. Berries are large and 
pointed, somewhat like the Haverland, altho a little 
darker in color and better in quality than this variety. 
Plants are very vigorous and very healthy. Blossoms, 
are perfect, strong pollenizer, making it good to plant, 
with Hustler, Sample, Haverland and other imperfect 
flowering varieties of its season. Price $8 per thousand. 
Gibson. Berries are large, beautiful dark red in color. 
Plants quite productive. Bear through long season.
