Dear Sir: 



Your esteemed favor to hand containing % for plants which 



you asked to be shipped We beg to say that we do not 



send out plants during the summer months, (see catalog, first inside cover 

 page, ''Time of Shipmgnt.'') 



Potted plants are best for summer, or early fall planting, but we 

 do not grow these. They are quite expensive, but if you must have plants 

 now you can get good potted plants from Henry A. Dreer, 714 Chestnut St., 

 Philadelphia, Pa. Now we would like to supply you with this order from our 

 vigorous, healthy, true to name field grown plants, but they will not be 

 ready until after November 1st this fall, or early next spring. Strawber- 

 ries in your section should always be planted in early spring. There is 

 no other time equal to early spring planting for strawberries, raspberries, 

 blackberries, gooseberries, currants, grapes, etc. November is an excel- 

 lent time to plant in your section if mulched well soon after planting. 

 They can also be planted very successfully in spring, if done early; but 

 just as soon as you can work the soil. 



Kindly let us know if we shall retain your order to be filled this 

 fall, or next spring, or do you prefer us to return your money? If so, we 

 will return it at once on receipt of your reply. Whatever you decide about 

 this order, we hope to have the pleasure of filling an order for you this 

 fall, or next spring from our splendid field grown stock. We feel sure 

 you will be pleased with it and become one of our long list of permanent 

 customers . 



Will send you our new catalog in January. Hoping to hear from you 

 soon, we remain. 



Yours to command, 



WFA THE W. F. ALLEN CO.
