VmUS FREE— REGISTERED 



Plants referred to as "virus free" in this catalog have been field grown by us from virus-free foun- 

 dation stock furnished by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Bureau of Plant Industry, Soils, and 

 Agricultural Engineering, Beltsville, Maryland. Our field- grown stock has been dusted with parathion 

 to control aphids which transmit the virus diseases. It has also been grown at considerable distances 

 from any other strowberry plants. Since viruses do not produce clear-cut symptoms in most strawberry 

 varieties but simply weaken and devitalize the plants, no guarantee con be made that these plants 

 are 100 percent free of viruses. Because of the measures that we have used to protect these plants 

 from virus infection, we believe them to be substantially virus-free. 



All plants from virus free sources which meet the rigid growing requirements of our Inspection Serv- 

 ice are entitled to be sold as "Registered." All our virus free varieties have met these requirements 

 and will carry a label showing they are "registered." We hope W. F. Allen Company will receive 

 your plant orders, but in any event you should get plants which meet the rigid requirements which 

 entitle them to be registered. 



INSTRUCTIONS TO PURCHASERS 



Terms: Cash with order. Remit by money 

 order, bank draft or cash in registered letter. 

 No C.O.D. shipments without part payment. 

 True to Name: We take every precaution to 

 have all plants true to name and we will re- 

 fund your money if any prove otherwise, 

 but we will not be responsible for any sum 

 greater than the cost of- the plants ordered. 



When to Order—How to Ship 



Order as soon as you have decided what 

 varieties and how many you want. Plants will 

 be reserved for you. Indicate on the order 

 sheet the approximate date you want the 

 plants shipped to you. See paragraph on 

 page 21 "When Should Plants be Set?". Write 

 plainly so that we can get your name and 

 address correctly for prompt acknowledge- 

 ment of order and delivery of plants. 



Express — Cheaper on shipments of 3,000 plants 

 or more and on 2,000 plants in the fifth postal 

 zone or farther. Charges can be collected at 

 time of delivery. There is a minimum express 

 charge of $2.90 on any size shipment. 



Parcel Post — Generally cheapest and most 

 satisfactory for all shipments up to 1,000 

 plants everywhere and on larger shipments 

 up to 2,000 plants in the 4th postal zone or 

 nearer. Parcel post charges depend upon 

 weight of shipment and postal zone. On 

 parcel post shipments be sure to include 

 postage figured from the table and guide on 

 this page. We recommend ''Special Hand- 

 ling", as this expedites delivery. Charges for 

 this service vary from 25^ to 50^ depending 

 upon the weight of shipment. Send enough 

 postage as any excess will be returned to 

 you. We do not advise C.O.D. shipments 

 as they require from 40(^ to $1.00 additional 

 postage. Also delivery may be delayed for 

 two or more days. COLLECTIONS offered on 

 pages 24 and 25 are prepaid and no postage 

 need be sent for these. Our Guarantee: We 

 guarantee all plants ordered shipped before 

 May 15 to reach you in good condition. If 

 they are found to be otherwise, either through 

 a slip on our part or delay or mistreatment in 

 transit, notify us immediately so that we can 

 refill your order. Any claim for poor con- 

 dition must be made immediately on receipt 

 of plants as we cannot be responsible for 

 drought, floods, insects, etc. which may affect 

 the plants after their arrival, as these things 

 are entirely beyond our control.
