THE PLANT SITUATION -1965 



Supplies of most varieties will be ample this year. Despite a very dry July 



and August enough of our acreage had irrigation 

 into the fall period of runner production in good 

 plants last spring in order to prevent not having the 

 able as has been the case so frequently in the 

 developing beautifully with fall rains, fertilization

Registered Plants: As always, "registered" 



the most important factor in achieving consistently good results 

 ties we are offering are grown from virus-free stocks except Ambrosia, Temple 

 and Dixieland. Growers of "registered" virus-free plants must follow strict re- 

 quirements as to indexed foundation stocks, isolation during the growing period, 

 soil fumigation and dust applications. These regulations, as detailed on page 3, 

 are administered by the Inspection Service of the State and are the basis of label- 

 ing and selling "registered" virus-free plants. We hope that you buy your "regis- 

 tered" virus-free plants from us, but if not be sure you get your planting stock 

 from a grower who meets the requirements for labeling his plants "registered." 



Variety Comments: Catskill continues as our sales' leader. Surecrop is mov- 

 ing up each year. We have never had enough foundation stock to grow sufficient 

 Earlidawn to meet the demand for this variety since its introduction in 1956. Earli- 

 dawn increases in popularity each year. Pocahontas seems to be slipping, prob- 

 ably because it is getting so difficult to grow. We do not yet know what this 

 growth problem with Pocahontas is. Our best stock of Dixieland from the stand- 

 point of freedom from yellows is not virus free. (See discussion on page 7.) 



Order Early: This is most important so that you will get the varieties you 

 want reserved for you and dug while thoroughly dormant. In addition, we at 

 W. F. Allen Co. may plan our work to serve you best. 



ALLEN'S PLANTS, Standard of the Industry for 80 years, 

 are still your Best Buy for Big Crops of Better Berries.
