TRUE-TO-NAME STRAWBERRY PLANTS 



Women Berry-Growers 



Women play no little part in the Strawberry industry. Often they help in picking. They prepare the 

 fruit for the table. They make the preserves and syrups from berries. In main- cases, the berry fields are 

 managed by them from start to finish, and they are making good at it. We know of no better way for 

 widows with families, on farms or lots, to increase their income, than by having a patch of berries. All 

 the family can be together and all help in the work, which will mean pleasure as well as profit. Women 

 have been especially enthusiastic over the Pro- 

 gressive Strawberry, which furnishes fruit for the 

 table all summer and autumn. Read these cheerful 

 letters from some of our women patrons. 



DELIGHTED WITH CHESAPEAKE 



March 17, 1916, Middlesex County, Conn. 

 Dear Sirs: I have sent for your plants several times, and 

 always found them the best plants and in good condition^ My 

 children were delighted last year with the Chesapeake berries. 

 They were large and delicious and the most beautiful plants 1 

 ever saw, so large and thrifty. I hope to be able to get some 

 plants of the everbearing Strawberries this spring and if I do, 

 I shall get them from you. I sell all the berries I can't use 

 myself in Middlesex County and never have enough. I always 

 tell my neighbors, if they want good plants, to get them 

 from Allen. Sincerely yours. Flora L. Flynn. 



SHE LIKES BIG JOE 

 January 16. 1016. McCracken County. Ky. 

 Dear Sirs: The plants bought of you last season were tine, 

 the best-rooted plants I ever saw. All lived and grew nicely; 

 did not lose a plant. At this time all are doing well and promise 

 an early crop. I can. and have recommended your plants to 

 my neighbors. The Big Joe can"t be beaten. Yours truly, 

 Mrs. Robt. Yannerson. Sr. 



DIDN'T STOP UNTIL COLD WEATHER. 



February 28, 1916. Linn Com ty. Mo. 

 Dear Sirs: The everbearing Strawberries I received from 

 you were fine; only one died out of the lot. These berries bore 

 until the cold weather killed them, or the bloom rather. The 

 berries were large and luscious. The other kinds I ordered did 

 well also. I was well pleased with them. Yours truly.

CHESAPEAKE, THE BEST OF ALL 



January 17. 1916. Adams County, Pa. 

 Gentlemen: I had ripe Strawberries from May 19 until 

 November 28. when the cold weather killed them. I planted two 

 rows of Big Joe. They look great. Glen Mary, Sample, and 

 Chesapeake were the best of all. Haverland gave the greatest 

 crops. Please hold the inclosed order for spring shipment. 

 I may want more and will send it with my cheque. Sincerely, 



Ella \V. Blocher. 



This picture shows two piains ol the same variety. 

 Some growers charge more for plants than others. 

 There is a reason.

DLDN'T LOSE A PLANT 



January 22. 1016. Stark County, Ohio. 

 Gentlemen: Will say in regard to the Strawberry plants I 

 bought from you last spring that I did not lose a single one 

 of them. It is one of the finest -patches you ever saw. It looks 

 like a patch two years old instead of one. If it bears in accord- 

 ance with the prospects it now has. it surely will be some crop. 

 Yours very truly. W. A. PlM. 



BUYING SINCE 1891— CAN GET CHEAPER PLANTS, BUT 

 NOT WITH SUCH ROOTS 



January' 7. 1916. Jasper County. Mo. 

 Hear Sirs: I have been getting plants from you since the 

 spring of 1891. I believe, and have gotten from you ever since. 

 You always have fine plants. I could get cheaper plants here 

 in Jasper County, but not with such roots. But, dear friends, 

 all business will come to an end with old age. I am nearly 

 S2 years old, too old and weak to work in berries and garden. 

 Still, my wife and daughter keep berries in the garden, enough 

 for our own use. Truly your friend. Anton Kibler.

January 27. 1916, Prince William County. Va.

 pleased with them that we send all our orders for berries to you. 

 Very truly yours, F. M. Swartz.

 stayed good, and I have as good a Strawberry patch as you 

 want to put your eyes on. Thanks for your prompt shipment 

 and liberal count. I have been satisfied since I have been 

 dealing with you, about fifteen years. Yours truly, 



Philip Walter.

 grow as well as yours. To date, we haven't lost one plant from
