ALLEN CO., SALISBURY, MD. 27 bed of Chesapeake. After several years trial we have concluded that it is no easier to grow Lupton than Chesapeake, and that while Lupton is a good variety, it is not as good as Chesapeake. For one thing, the foliage is nowhere near as healthy in a wet year. We have some nice plants for those who want to try them. Price list page 35. McAlpin. A very vigorous grower that will do well
. Allen's book of berries for 1926. Nurseries (Horticulture) Maryland Salisbury Catalogs; Nursery stock Maryland Salisbury Catalogs; Strawberries Maryland Salisbury Catalogs. THE W. F. ALLEN CO., SALISBURY, MD. 27 bed of Chesapeake. After several years trial we have concluded that it is no easier to grow Lupton than Chesapeake, and that while Lupton is a good variety, it is not as good as Chesapeake. For one thing, the foliage is nowhere near as healthy in a wet year. We have some nice plants for those who want to try them. Price list page 35. McAlpin. A very vigorous grower that will do well on light poor land, but also responds wonderfully to richer land and greater fertility. Will grow anywhere. The berries are medium to large in size, brilliant scarlet in color and unexcelled in quality. After a heavy rain during picking time the McAlpin will have less sand and dirt on the berries than any variety we know. This is important, especially where mulching materials are scarce and high priced. Its excellent quality makes McAlpin a good one for the home or local market. It is also an excellent shipper, bringing top market prices. Beautiful in appearance, very productive and unsur- passed in quality. McAlpin planted with Big Late, makes a dandy combination and one that has made money for us the last few years. For vigor, quality, pro- ductiveness and all-round merit, McAlpin is hard to beat. The one weak point of McAlpin is that the foliage rusts considerably during a wet season. McAlpin grows so vigorously and makes so many plants that it is necessary to keep them thinned somewhat or they will get so thick that they cannot produce the best crop of fruit. Price list, page 35. New York. This is the sweetest strawberry grown. The plant is a vigorous grower. The foliage is very healthy and the plants are quite productive. The ber- ries are medium to large in size, dark red in color, and as stated above, the sweetest strawberry grown. It is the only strawberry we know that
