ALLEN'S STRAWBERRY CATALOGUE - S .2 — v- ^=- a. CLYDE. The Clyde is as large as Bubacb, and Deaily or quite a week earlier. With a dry season and plenty of sun it is an excellent variety; but the foliage is a little -weak during fruit time, and too much hot son or a wet season is not good for them. The foliage is a light green in color, and makes a fine growth of vigorous plants the first season, hut it is so extremely produc- tive, that the whole vigor of the plant seems to go to fruit, and does not pro- vide foliage enough during fruit season to protect the berries. The plants aie strong, and always have an abundance of long roots, which even in the ab- sence of sufficient foliage, helps this variety to withstand dry weather, and brings- its .prop to maturity under surprisingly unfavorable conditions. Few varieties ever introduced, have attained greater popularity than was accorded the Clyde a few years since. And except for the faults above named, I have no doubt that it would today be? the most popular medium early berry on the market. In vote Clyde ranks seventh for early market, fifth for early home use, sixth for medium market, fifth for medium home use. SUPERIOR. Ripens just after Mitehel's Early, of excellent carrying quality, of good medium size, which is maintained until the last of the sea- son. A great favorite as a market berry in some sections. I would not ad- vise it for li^ht sandy soil. I have a large stock of very fine plants. SPLENPID. This berry is well named. It should not be allowed to get too thick" as it will surely do, if not kept in check by tearing off part of the runners. It strong staminate blossom, and is one of the best pol- lenizers to plant with pistillate varieties of the Warfield and Crescent type. The vine is a rich dark green free from rust
