READ THIS; THEN SEND YOUR ORDER 

 TO THE ALLEN CO. 



In regard to your letter, asking about the 

 Strawberry plants purchased of you last spring. 

 would say that I followed your directions to 

 growers in the extreme North to the letter. 

 The plants were received April 6. heeled in. and 

 covered with straw. May 4- «'f set 

 them all in the field. They had formed 

 an entire new root-system, just a 

 bunch of new white roots. They grew 

 from the start. Out of 

 the 3.500 plants all I 

 lost was sixteen. I have 

 one of the best beds I 

 have ever had . the 

 ground just covered 

 with plants. Would say 

 that Premier is my next 

 berry to try. but I am going 

 to let you fruit it a year and 

 have it get your endorsement 

 before I purchase anv plants. 

 The word of \V. F. Allen & 

 Co. goes with me every time.

got my first plants from you over 

 twenty years ago. — S. D. Cox, Stod-

THE TALK OF 

 THE TOWN 



The plants I got 

 of you last spring 

 could not have done 

 better than they 

 did. Nearly every'thing lived 

 and made a fine growth and my 

 Strawberry patch is the talk of the town. 

 My Progressive plants bore until freezing 

 weather. — Ira R. Simmons. Lawrence

The old reliable Gandy 



Very Late Strawberries 



/j ANDY Probably no higher compliment could be paid to 



this variety than the fact that all other late varieties 



are compared with it. For best results it should be planted in black 

 swampy land or, if this is not possible, in springy land with some 

 clay in its makeup, but Gandy never should be planted on dry sandy 

 land. It is a reliable old standby and a great favorite in the market. 

 Gandy makes a vigorous healthy growth and, if planted in soil as 

 recommended above, it will produce a good crop of large, uniform, 

 highly colored, firm berries that will bring top prices in any market. 

 We have known of the Gandy being shipped 200 or 300 miles and 

 still taking precedence over fancy local berries. The perfect shape 

 of the berries and the large bright green cap make the berries very 

 beautiful and attractive. Its great shipping qualities enable it to 

 hold this beauty and attractiveness until it gets to market. Gandy 

 is so universally known and admired that it needs no great recom- 

 mendation. Price, 83.50 per 1,000. 



The berries are large and most 

 beautifullv formed. In color thev 



KELLOGG'S PRIZE. 



are rich crimson with a glossy surface and with a firm texture that 

 makes them unsurpassed as a shipper. The cap is light green and 

 remains fresh and bright colored for several davs after the benies
