Everybody likes Premier 



S1000.00 PER ACRE 



Montgomery Co., Ky., Feb. 9, 1925. 

 Enclosed find order and cheek for strawberry plants for a neighbor. I would like to say the 

 Premier and Chesapeake plants I ordered of you for last year's crop made a yield at the rate of 

 considerably more than S1000.00 per acre. They were as fine as any of your pictures show.

PREMIER HIS CHOICE 



Marion Co., Mo., Mar. 13, 1925. 

 I suppose you remember that we were the first growers that planted your Premier strawberries 

 here a few years ago. We still are much in favor of the Premier and have decided after this to plant 

 no other kind. We only want a few more this year, but after this year we will try our best to put 

 in two or three acres at a time. From our experience we find the Premier has no equal in production, 

 quality and appearance. Kindly give us a nice shipment of the enclosed order, and oblise

BETTER THAN WE RECOMMENDED 



Merrimack Co., N. H., Apr. 25, 1925. 

 Please send me 100 Progressive Everbearing strawberry plants. I ordered some Premier of 

 you two years ago and found them better than you recommended them to be. They certainly are 

 wonderful berries.

A SPLENDID SHOWING 



Lehigh Co., Pa., Feb. 21, 1925. 



We took your word and found Premier the best strawberry to plant. Berries ripened just about 



a week before otters in our section. There were plenty of cheap shipped berries, but they did not 



count. Received 25c retail, 20c wholesale, and could have sold thousands of boxes more than we had.

$175.00 FROM S6.00 WORTH OF ALLEN'S PLANTS 



Bradford Co., Pa., Dec. 12, 1925. 

 I was very wellsatisfied with my strawberry plants that I purchased from you during the spring 

 of 1923, and I wish to tell you a little about them at this time. I ordered 1000 Premier plants and 

 they yielded nearing 1300 quarts. The bearing season continued through nearly four weeks. I am 

 sending you a picture of a part of the largest day's picking. This picture shows only two of the six 

 bushel that we picked during the one day. We received one hundred and seventy-five dollars for the 

 berries, besides having all we cared for to eat on the table and in the strawberry patch, and gave 

 some to the neighbors. The berries sold readily enough, that we were forced to turn down many 

 orde:s. Expect to order more plants next spring.
