. Allen's book of berries. Nurseries (Horticulture) Maryland Salisbury Catalogs; Nursery stock Maryland Salisbury Catalogs; Strawberries Maryland Salisbury Catalogs. TRUE-TO-NAME STRAWBERRY PLANTS. Many carloads of manure are used in growing our plants The Best Strawberry Plants—and Why The best Strawberry plants are those that are dug from young beds that have never fruited, that have the best root-system and largest and strongest crowns, that are hardy in all Strawberry sections and abso- lutely true to name. We want to assure you that Allen's plants and beds are grown for good plants—-not fruit. The whole of the young beds are dug. We never dig plants from old beds. I. Root-System. Our plants are grown in a light, sandy loam soil. In this type of soil any plant can develop its root-system to the fullest degree. Allen's Strawberry Plants certainly have some root-system! And, having a light soil, we can dig plants without breaking off any of the great bunch of roots. With plants grown in heavier soils, the roots cannot pene- trate the earth and make the root-system they do here; and, even if they could, it would not avail in giving fine plants, as plants ape not removed from heavy clay soils without breaking off many of the fibrous roots, the kind necessary to start plant growth. We repeat: The root-system of our Straw- berry plants is never bettered, seldom equaled. FINE PLANTS—FINE CROP I received my Strawberry plants. They were in fine condition and have the best roots I ever saw. I am sure to have a fine crop with such exceptionally sturdy plants.—Robert Kast, Sullivan County. Pa., April 30, 1917. 2. Sturdiness. Allen's plants, both crowns and roots, are fully developed and of large size for the variety, some varieties, as Chesapeake and Big Joe, having larger plants than others, as Senator Dun- lap and Gandy. Our growing season is moderately long, just long enough to secure the best develop- ment of the plants. Constant hoeing and cultiva- ting keep th
