Field of Allen's plants for 1953 orders 



lite PLtU Sd*uUi(m-1953 



Late summer and f2dl brought good weather and plenty of rain to make a good crop 

 of nice plants. Very hot, very dry weather in late June and July caused some fosses and 

 reduction in some varieties, but mostly the supply is okay. 



Of the leaders we have good supplies of Premier, Fairfax, Catskill, Robinson, Empire, 

 Tennessee Beauty and Blakemore. We are rather short on Midland, Redstar, Sparkle and 

 Fairpeake. We have no Chesapeake or Ambrosia. Most other varieties are in about normal 

 supply. 



Ordering early is always a good plan. For one thing it assures you of getting the 

 varieties you want, even those that are in short supply. Furthermore, as we rarely do more 

 than we plan to do it is helpful to make your plans early to set and grow the kinds and 

 .quantities you want and to be assured of having the plants come to you when you are 

 ready for them. 



I4Jhgm rle^jU? Those who ordered EMPIRE last year as we suggested have 

 a delightful surprise coming at fruiting time. It was a dandy this year wherever 

 grown. If you have not already tried Empire include them in your order this 

 year. After you see the Empire we are confident you will want more. 



ARMORE — In regions where Aroma has been grown successfully we 

 believe Armore is the best bet in years for an improved and more productive 

 shipping berry. 



It is amazing how much better results growers have been getting with ever- 

 bearers since the advent of the sawdust mulch hill system (See page 21). 

 Superfection is still the best of all the everbearers. 



are still your best bet for big crops of better berries.
