REGISTERED 



For best results from your own efforts in growing berries we hope you will use 

 Allen's Winning Plants. These are registered and are grown under the following 

 rigid schedule. As a berry grower you cannot afford to do all of these things but you 

 should insist that your plant grower do them for you. By renewing your planting 

 stock every year or two you can realize most of the benefits from this program. 



Here are the things we must do to qualify for the registered label which means 

 so much to you as a grower: 



1. Planting stocks from virus free sources must be used. 



2. Virus free stock must be kept virus free. This requires 12 to 14 dustings to kill the 

 dphis which is the carrier of the virus organism. 



3. This superior stock must be grown in fields isolated from varieties where virus 

 free plants are not yet available and from other fields of ordinary plants in the com- 

 munity. 



4. Provide a screen house from which constantly a basic stock of indexed virus 

 free plants may come. 



5. Soil fumigation to control or eliminate root nematodes. Nemagon is the material 

 used, as that has been found to be the most effective fumigant to date for nematode 

 control. Our plant fields are all fumigated twice during the growing season. This 

 is costly but well worthwhile for users of strawberry plants. 



6. The use of abundant plant food. We use about 1500 pounds per acre to keep 

 them growing at their best. 



7. A minor element mixture is added to the fertilizer to avoid the possibility of any 

 weakness resulting from any minor element deficiency. 



8. Chlorodane is added to the fertilizer to kill ants, cutworms, grubworms, etc. which 

 might kill or weaken the plants. 



9. Constant inspection to make sure that planting stock is free from red stele and 

 that the soil in which they are to be planted is also clean. 



10. With ALLEN'S PLANTS you get all the above plus the benefit of our specializa- 

 tion and experience. We grow no other nursery product and we have been growing 

 and shipping fine strawberry plants lor 7b years. We believe this means much to 

 you as a grower. 



Brown Co. Wise. Feb. 5, 1960: "I want to 

 thank you for the shipment of 11,000 strawberry- 

 plants consisting of Sparkle, Catskill and Sure- 

 crop that I received from you in April, 1959. 

 They were outstanding plants, caught perfectly 

 and all showed a vigorous growth." C. F.
