ALLEN'S STRAWBERRY CATALOGUE. 11 BRANDYWINE.—This variety has been reported upon by the experiment stations, written up by horticultural papers and talked of by fruit growers everywhere until it has become as well known as any of the older kinds. I believe it will bear out the claims that have been made for it. The fruit and plant very much resemble Gandy but is more productive and a better grower. I marketed quite a good many crates of Brandywine last sea3on and they were very fine. Almost every crate would bear the mark of fancy or extra and always brought the highest market price. TENNESSEE PROLIFIC - Large, good color, productive, of good shape, free from rust and ranks among the best in the strawberry list. It is a seed- ling of Sharpiess and Crescent,ehowing the parentage of both. The fruit is large, handsome plant, and as produc- tive as Haverland. "THE CARMI BEAUTY"—Is the strawberry for the farmer's garden and the home market. We have no hesita- tion in pronouncing this the largest berry up to date. Its fine size and and beautiful appearance attract the attention of the best buyers. It is of the highest flavor, satisfy- ing the most fastidious taste. It is the earliest of the medium early varieties—a few days earlier than the Crescent. It is a large, deep rooted plant, with an abundant, healthy, dark green foli- age, which gives it the capacity to bear large crops of fine sized berries. It will stand dry weather longer than any other kind on my place, and for a large berry, will bear more to the hill than any other variety. It is a bright red color, and has a beautiful shape. The Carmi Beauty is a Pistillate, andean be Pollenized with any of the early or medium early Staminant varieties."'—Originator. BLONDE—This variety although one of the best late varieties with me seems to have been almost totally ignored by the strawberry public. I have now fruited the Blonde for the third time and consider it one of the ver\ of late varieties especially for light land. I was so well pleased with it ii that in Spring of 1900 I planted several acres of it for fruit and am very glad that I did for last summer it again gave us a very Large crop of handsome large fruit.
