How Many Berries and How Much Money 
AS TOLD BY BERRY GROWERS USING ALLEN’S PLANTS 
900 Quarts from 1000 Plants, with Unfavorable Weather Conditions. 
Warren County, Ohio, July 12, 1928—The 1000 berry plants ordered in the spring 
of 1927 arrived in good condition and planted well. This season of 1928 we picked over 
900 quarts, notwithstanding excessive rains and want of sunshine. Under good weather 
conditions we would have picked one-third more. We can recommend the Premier 
(Allen’s) as a wonderful producer, berries large, of fine color, easily marketable, and 
selling themselves. For the table, they are delicious—MRS. JESSE B. TRIPP. 
At the Rate of 13,000 Quarts of Aroma per Acre. 
Hennepin County, Minn., Mar. 20, 1928.—Last year I got 60 quarts of fruit from 200 
square feet of ground with your Aroma plants. This spring, I have to fruit Wm. Belt, 
Chesapeake, and Premier. From looks of bed in fall, Wm. Belt and Chesapeake are the 
berries. I want to try some of your everbearers on my city lot. Then we will know 
what we can do.—C. W. HUDNALL. 
Fine Yields of Fancy Berries. 
Salem County, N. J., Aug. 14, 1928.—As I bought my plants from you last year, I 
thought probably you might be interested to learn of their production. I planted a trifle 
less than two acres of Premier and picked 450 crates (32 quarts each) of which I have 
record. There were numerous crates of which we have no record, as we had some to 
waste and also gave away some quarts. I also planted one acre of Chesapeake and 
picked 165 crates (32 quarts each). Our Premier patch was not picked for one week 
during mid-season, and we also had two stretches of berries which were covered with 
water and mud due to wet weather. This accounts for the numerous crates wasted.— 
J. E. CRAVER. 
8000 Quarts per Acre, a Fine Yield. 
Lancaster County, Pa., Sept. 25, 1928.—The 1,000 Premier plants I planted in the 
spring of 1927 yielded nearly 1,000 boxes of fruit this past spring.—J. S. LEED. 
A Real Berry Grower Making ‘‘Dollars per Acre.’’ 
Allegheny County, Va., June 25, 1928.—I will write you about my strawberries that 
I raised from the plants that I bought of you in the spring of 1927. Three thousand 
Premier and one thousand Big Joe set one-half acre. I have picked 150 32-quart crates 
and they have brought me over $600. I have had men from the Blacksburg Experiment 
Station and berry growers in the patch and all say that they never saw anything to 
equal it. I had Big Joe berries that were monsters. 
Premier were just great, held their size to the very last berry. It was cold and wet 
the whole season. It would not have averaged two sunshiny days per week, but I lost 
practica!ly no berries. Vines were so rank I had to top them to let sunshine in. I 
will want 3,000 or 4,000 plants in the spring and, of course, you know where I will 
get them. 
Chesapeake and Burgess that I bought of you this spring are making runners like 
Leghorn hens lay eggs. The Chesapeake is as fast as the Burgess. I hope you have 
had a prosperous year. LE ROY STEVENS. 
$400 from 2400 Plants, 8000 Plants per Acre. Figure It Out. 
Buncombe County, N. C., Jan. 4, 1928.—Today I received your Berry Book, for which 
please accept my thanks. I am writing to let you know that your catalogues are not 
thrown away, although I haven’t ordered any plants from you. I live among the farm- 
ers and know all about your plants, and I wish to say that I know them to be just 
what you claim them to be. Last year I sold over $400 worth of berries off 2400 Premier 
plants, and then the late freeze killed about half of the young berries. I have been 
helping you sell plants for years. I have just written a friend of mine living in New 
York State, advising him to order 5000 Premier plants from you next spring. This is 
in return for your kindness to send me your Book of Berries. I could mention lots of 
others that I have personally influenced to order plants from you in the past. I have 
done this because I feel that your firm is reliable-—REV. T. D. LANNING.
