We favor Superfection over all other everbearers that we have tried primarily 

 because it is the best in producing berries when you want them — in late summer 

 and fall. All everbearing varieties for satisfactory results should be planted in hills 

 with the runners removed. The Ohio system, described on page 30, has enabled 

 many growers of everbearers to have much more pleasure and profit from their 

 plantings. Superfection, under good conditions, makes an adequate number of 

 plants. Under very good conditions they set plants almost like Blakemore. Under 

 conditions of extreme heat and drought they will almost completely die out unless 

 irrigated. Where grown in the hill system, described on page 30, with all the runners 

 removed there is usually little trouble in getting a good stand of plants and fair to 

 good crops of fruit, depending on weather conditions, particularly adequate moisture. 



Scoffed at as of little value by commercial growers for many years the new 

 sawdust mulch spaced plant system of growing and varieties like Superfection have 

 made everbearers a real asset to your home garden and in favorable locations a 

 profitable money crop. 



Superfection berries are light in color and quite attractive in appearance. They are firm 

 enough to ship moderate distances but mostly they are used at home or sold on local markets. 

 The flavor is quite tart but v,rith sugar added Superfection makes a very fine addition to late 

 summer and fall desserts. 



All our plants of Superfection are grown from virus free stocks. They are well rooted, true 

 to name and strong plants, giving you your best chance of having good results with everbearers.

New York, N. Y. Jan. 26, 1961. "I had a 

 small strawberry patch planted with your 

 Superfection plants. I used the sawdust 

 method and I feel you are entitled to know 

 that any and all claims you have made are 

 modest. The berries were more than prolific, 

 the taste superb, the berries magnificent." 

 J. F. SCHLESINGER. 



Warren Co. Va., June 26, 1961. '^In the 

 spring of 1960 I purchased from you 300 

 strawberry plants including 100 Superfection. 



Last summer they did real well." JAMES W. 

 RICHARDSON. 



Douglas Co. Minn. Feb. 24, 1961. "I have 

 been a strawberry grower for about 25 years 

 and in that time 1 have purchased plants from 

 the best growers in this country and also have 

 tested a great many varieties. If I had to be 

 limited to one variety it would be your Super- 

 fection, as I have made more money with 

 Superfection than with any others. I can hon- 

 estly say that the best plants I have ever had 

 came from Allen's." E. B. FAY. 



GEM 



Superfection is also sold as Gem, which 

 was the original name. Also the plants which 

 we bought as Brilliant from two sources 

 proved to be identical with Gem and Super- 

 fection. With virus free plants to eliminate 



differences in vigor of individual stocks you 

 will find Gem and Superfection identical. 

 Order them by either name and you will have 

 the best of the everbearers. Price list page 32.
