Nurseries (Horticulture) Maryland Salisbury Catalogs; Nursery stock Maryland Salisbury Catalogs; Strawberries Maryland Salisbury Catalogs. W. F. ALLEN'S PLANT AND SEED JIEiDE. Abington.—This new berry was sent out last spring by Lester Blanchard, of Massachus- etts, who claims that it is the best yielder and the largest matted row, perfect blossom berry that has been introduced up to date. At the Massachusetts Horticultural Society Jane 21, 1904 a quart of this variety was exhibited which contained just twenty-five berries and was awarded second prize. Mr. Elanchard says: "The Abington is the chance seedling, the plant is large, foliage darh green, the frnit stalks are strong and stand erect from the ground, the blossom is perfect, larse and full with lots of pollen. It ripens with the Bubach. the berries being very large, averaging as large as the Bubach and holds out well through the entire season. Mr. Blan- chard • laims the Abington to be more productive that the Bubach or Glen Mary, euner of which is productive enough for best results: in color it is bright red with firm flesh and good flavor. Mr. Blanchard claims to have grown the Abington at the rate of quarts per acre, and says it is a berry that will take the place of Bubach. as it is a better plant maker, blo^pom perfect and hardy, sends up more fruit stalks, and ripens at same time. The berry has a better color, tirmer. better flavor, runs larger through- out the season and holds its color better after it is ;' This is certainly a very strong description and if the berry is anywhere near as good as Mr. Blanchard claims, it will make a valuable addition to the list. I can say personally that it is a fine grower of large, strong, healthy plants, and so far, 1 am much pleased with its appearance. Aroma.—A popular late variety, as late as Gandy; large size
