 received in good order. I hope they will turn out as well as they have begun. I 

 will take pleasure in recommending your promptness in business. It is more

 check for $14.38. The plants were very fine and I have not lost' a single one 

 so far. Yours respectfully R. H. Hill. 



Hartford Co.. Conn.. May 11, 1895.— W. F. Allen Jr., Dear Sir: The strawberry 

 plants I ordered of you were received by me in first rate order. Eveiy bunch 

 held over count so I had to set extra rows. As compared with those dug from 

 my own bed they far surpass the ones dug the same day I set yours. I don't 

 see how you get such lovely roots. We may in the near future be glad to order 

 more of other varieties. Yours respectfully, G. O. Case. 



Evergreen. S. D. — W. F. Allen. Jr.. Dear Sir: The strawberry plants receiv- 

 ed in April were the finest plants I have ever seen. When I want some new 

 kinds I will surely patronize you. Had they been inferior plants they never 

 would have survived the severe drought last spring. Mrs. A. P. 



Salem Co.. X. J.. April 29. 1895.— W. F. Allen. Jr.. Esteemed Sir: Your 

 plants came to hand april 22d. I recieved your card on Saturday stating they 

 were shipped on Thursday. I expected when I opened them to see them nearly 

 perished, but to my surprise found them just splendid, and I really believe 

 they would have kept for two or three weeks. At first when I received your 

 card on Saturday and found you had shipped them I was sorry I did not write 

 you to ship them the first of the week, so I might set them out that same week, 

 but it does not make any difference to your plants. I don't see why they were so 

 long on the road, but I never saw a finer lot of plants in my life, they 'were all 

 that I could wish or ask for and the extra count you gave me, well, I thank vou 

 ever so much. You have won a friend and customer, for whenever I want 

 plants no matter what others may offer them for yours are good enough for me. 

 Did you receive the plants I sent you — a sample of the standard varieties offered 

 for SI. 25 per 1000. That man could not give me his plants, for I would not take 

 the time to set them out, saying nothing about the land they occupy. I will do 

 you good whenever opportunity gives me a chance. As ever respectfully, 



Your friend, D. R. Kean. 



San Joagim Co.. Cal., March 27, 1895.— Mr. W. F. Allen. Jr.. Dear Sir: The 

 strawberry plants you sent me were received on the 25th inst., and were opened 

 and set on the next day. Each package was found to contain from two to five 

 plants over the dozen, all in good condition. I am well pleased with this 

 order. Very truly yours, J. Manchester. 



Winona Co.. Minn.. April 27. 1895.— W. F. Allen Jr., Dear Sir: The straw- 

 berry plants arrived the 24th. I am more than pleased with them, they are as 

 nice'plants as I ever saw. not a poor one among them. They are the finest plants 

 that have ever been shipped here. You filled my order in' a most satisfactory 

 way. Yours truly. Wm. Macemon. 



Lancaster Co.. Pa.. April 24. 1895.— W. F. Allen, Jr.. Sir: The strawberrv 

 plants I ordered of you some time ago arrived at my place on the 22d inst. in 

 good condition. They are the kind of plants to delight a strawberry grower. 

 I never saw any better rooted, in fact the roots were so long I thought it advis- 

 able to have them clipped back some before planting. 



Yours very truly. John F. Weaver, Jr.
