Many years of experience in growing, handling and shipping good plants enable us to supply plants which 

 we honestly believe are the best you can buy. As the only fairly large nursery in the country growing and selling 

 no other nursery product we nhould do this one thing a little better than those who grow and sell a large number 

 of products. We are certain you will find on the average no plants superior to Allen's plants, few if any equal 

 to them. 



The plants produce the berries* For more berries and better berries we select good plants, set them 

 early, hoe cultivate and fertilize carefully. All this to help the plant do a better job of producing. How important 

 it is, therefore, to get the best plants obtainable. We believe you will find Allen's plants unsurpassed in their 

 abiUty to give you the kind of berry crop you want. Merely growing good plants is not enough. Of course your 

 plant man must grow good plants with big, healthy crowns and strong root system but this alone is not enough. 

 Plants must be kept true to variety name so that when you come to pick your berries you will have the kind you 

 ordered. Each bunch of plants should be carefully labelled so that it is easy for you to keep the various kinds 

 separated when planted. Plants should be properly cleaned with dead leaves and runners rempved, roots 

 straightened and bunched evenly so that they are easy to set, **peeling off" like clock work for either hand or 

 machine setting. To give you the most for your money these good plants must be carefully handled and packed 

 to reach you with their vitality xinimipaired, ready for quick starting, rapid growth and full production. It is 

 largely in their ability to do these things well or poorly that makes the plants from one grower give you better 

 results than those from another. This is why we believe ALLSN'S planfs are the ones for you.
