Your Money’s Worth 
Read Why Good Plants Stay Good 
N PAGES 6, 18, 19 and 20, we show pictures (taken in October, 1928) 
of several of the fields of plants which will be dug to fill our orders 
this spring. These are fine, healthy plants—vigorous, well-rooted, true- 
to-name. They are the equal of any plants you will find anywhere, and great- 
ly superior to many fields of plants less well grown and less vigorous. 
However, it would be ridiculous for us to claim that, just because we 
grew them, these plants are as they stand, inherently better than those of 
any other plant grower whose fields were equally vigorous and heaithy. 
The plants of greatest value to you are those which give best results. 
We are going to tell you below why we honestly believe Allen’s Plants will 
be of greatest value to you, regardless of the price you pay. 
In the first place, they are obviously superior to plants from fields that 
are not vigorous and healthy as shown in the pictures referred to. : 
But, given a vigorous lot of plants in the field, they must be grown in the 
lighter sandy loam types of soil to give you the wonderful development of 
fibrous roots which our plants have. With plants grown on heavier soils, 
the roots cannot penetrate the earth and make the root system they do here, 
but even if they could, the plants would not be removed without breaking 
off many of the fibrous roots. Any growers who have tried to dig plants 
from hard clay soil will know right off just what we are getting at. 
Allen’s plants for fine roots. 
Even if two fields of plants are equally vigorous, on the same kind of 
soil, greater value can be added or maintained by the way they are handled.
