U2 ALLEN'S STRAWBERRY CATALOGUE. SENATOR DUNLAP. Not since the advent of Crescent has any Straw- berry shown such remark- able adaptability to all varieties of soil and cli- mate as tue Dnnlap, a real old standby for home use or market. Extreme- ly vigorous and healthy plant maker, with an abundance of heavy fruit stalks; a perfect bloomer, strongly staminate, so that each bloom develops well formed, perfect ber- ries of large size, pointed globular and sometimes conical. Bright, glossy red, firm and solid, and so very productive as to attract attention of all as a great cropper. It stands second in the class of midseason shipping varie- ties. I think everybody is pleased with the Sena- tor Dunlap. MITCHEL'S EARLY, next to the Excelsior, the -most popular early market variety and for home use, it heads the list of earlies. If grown on good soil it must be kept thinned. For eating from *the vines as .they are picked there is none better. Until the Excelsior came it was the leading early berry for market as well as home use. PARSON'S BEAUTY. This is one of the most productive -berries grown. Size, medium to large, dark red, and of fair quality, but rather acid. For a near market, where they can be hauled in and sold from the wagon, or direct to the grocer every day, thisia a valuable variety; but for distant ship- m3nt, it has proved a failure. I notice that some of the catalogs say, it is a great market berry. I am well acquainted with the facts, as there has been more Parson's Beauty grown in this county than all the rest of the country combined. It is enough to say that, it will never be planted in anything like the quantity in the future, that it has been in the past. To those who want a very productive berry that can be sold without shipping it will no doubt prove very valuable. NORTH SHO
