Be Sure To Set Goocf Plants This Spring 



GOOD PLANTS. All your efforts to grow good berries in the garden 

 or commercially depend on what you can get the plants to do. Your efforts 

 deserve the best plants you can get— ALLEN'S PLANTS. 



THIS SPRING. To save a whole year set plants early this spring, not 

 later than May 15th. This will give you a good crop of berries in May and 

 June, 1954. If you wait until late summer or fall you can not get a full crop 

 before May-June, 1955. Act quickly now. Save a year. 



INSTRUCTION TO PURCHASERS 



Terms. Cash with order. Remit by money order, 

 bank draft or cash in registered letter. No C. O. D. 

 shipments without part payment. 



Packing. No extra charge made for packing at 

 prices quoted on page 31. 



Time of Shipment. We ship plants from October 

 25th to June 15th. See paragraph on page 24, 

 '*When should plants be set?" 



True to Name. We take every precaution to have 

 all plants true to name and we will refund your money 

 if any prove otherwise, but we will not be responsible 

 for any sum greater than the cost of the plants 

 ordered. 



Late Shipments. All plants ordered shipped 

 after May 15th will be packed and shipped in best 

 possible condition but at 'purchasers' risk. 



Our Guarantee. We guarantee all plants ordered 

 shipped before May 15th to reach you in good con- 

 dition. If they are found to be otherwise, either 

 through a slip on our part or delay or mistreatment 

 in transit, notify us immediately so that we can refill 

 your order. Any claim for poor condition must be 

 made immediately on receipt of plants as we cannot 

 be responsible for drought, floods, insects, etc., which 

 may affect the plants after their arrival, as these 

 things are entirely beyond our control. 



WHEN TO ORDER -HOW TO SHIP 



Order as soon as you have decided what varieties and how many you want. Plants will be reserved for 

 you. Write plainly so that we can get your name and address correctly for prompt acknowledgment of order 

 and delivery of plants. Be sure to fill in your County on the order sheet. 



Express — Cheaper on shipments of 3,000 plants or more and on 2,000 plants in the 5th postal zone or 

 farther. Transportation charges can be collected at time of delivery. There is a minimum express charge of 

 $1.50 on any size shipment. 



Parcel Post — Generally cheapest and most satisfactory for all shipments up to 1,000 plants everywhere, 

 and on larger shipments up to 2,000 plants in the 4th postal zone or nearer. Parcel post charges depend upon 

 weight of shipment and postal zone. On parcel post shipments be sure to include postage figured from the 

 tables and guide below. Send enough postage as any excess will be returned to you. C. O. D. shipments require 

 from 40c to $1.00 additional postage for that service and often delay delivery. COLLECTIONS oHered on pages
