Nurseries (Horticulture) Maryland Salisbury Catalogs; Nursery stock Maryland Salisbury Catalogs; Strawberries Maryland Salisbury Catalogs. W. F. ALLEN'S PLANT AND SEED "following summer it made a rapid growth and many new runners. The plant was so promis- ing that a part of these were dug and planted; those that remained ripened an nnufually large <}rop of choice berries coming in with Mitchell's Early and Hoffman, resembling the latter cel- ebrated variety, but far superior to it in many respects, being much stronger in growth and -three times as productive. The berry is beauti- ful in appearance and has a large green cap. Mr. Tull has been propagating this variety for several years and it ha$ almost proven a gold mine to him, having cleared nearly double the amount he paid for his farm three years ago. Three crops have been marketed, none of which have been shipped on commission, because all 'buyers have greedily bought them, always giving for them the highest market price at the station. Marion Station has long since %een noted for growing choice "berries; this ber- ry is equal in quality to any grown there, and that alone is a sufficient recommendation. For three years individual farmers have offered Mr. Tull fancy prices for some of his Oaks Early plants (so called because the first plants were found by an old oak stump) but he refused to sell any of them until recently. I have not seen the berry in fruit but several friends who have seen it have spoken of it in the highest terms and have urged me to plant largely of it. The plants which I set last spring have made an excellent growth, perfectly healthy foli- age and lots of good strong plants. I have no doubt the variety will prove valuable in other sections, especi- ally where an early ber- ry is desirable. Don't fail to try it. Advance.—This va- riety was sent out in t
