MY CUCUMBER SEED THE BEST. 



Stephenson Co., 111., Nov. 6, 1906. 

 W. F. Allen, Dear Sir— Your Allen's Pride of the Mar- 

 ket is a very fine cucumber for pickling or for the table, 

 as they have a beautiful dark gret n color and retain this 

 color lor a long time. TLey have a very small seed cav- 

 ity, which makes them very fine for slicing. They are a 

 very good b 'arer, the cucumber growing five to six 

 inches long and about one inch in diameter in two or 

 three days after they are set. They have heavy, dark 

 green foliage. I grew several specimens that were four- 

 teen inches long. Those weie from seed I bought of you 

 last spring. Will send you an order in the spring for 

 seeds and plants. Respectfully, Mrs. Annie Larson. 



NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, MY CUCUMBERS ARE FINE. 



Clearfield Co., Pa., Oct. 3, 1906. 

 W. F. Allen, Dear Sir— I purchased some cucumber 

 seed from you last spring, namely, Allen's Pride of the 

 Market. I would like to enter the contest if 1 am not 

 too late. But will ray in regards to your cucumber seed: 

 I planted about one dozen hills. The vines grew wonder, 

 fully fast and were very tall and large. They yielded the 

 greatest crop of any kind or variety I have ever grown. 

 I gathered, at one picking, two bushels. They ran in 

 length from IS to 12 inches. They are a fine quality. My 

 customers at the market said they were the finest and 

 best cucumber they had ever seen. And must say they 

 were in great demand. They would say to me, "Where 

 did you get those wonderful cucumbers?" I told them, 

 "From W. F, Allen, the seedsman, in Maryland." I ex- 

 pect to plant a b»rge patch next spring and will recom- 

 mend them to all. But will just say they recommend 

 themselves. 1 am ever your friend, W. G. Spicher

HIS FIRST TRIAL WITH SWEET POTATOES A SUC- 

 CESS WITH ALLEN'S POTATO SPROUTS. 



Warren Co., Pa., Sept. 25, 1906. 



W. F. Allen, Dear Sir— I d33ire to Siy that my first 

 trial of sweet potatoes has been a success. Some of them 

 are of good size and the quality fine. W hile the summer 

 has been for the most part dry, and some of the sprouts 

 were lost, still the trial has been gratifying here. Others 

 want to plant them the coming m -ison, so you may look 

 out for larger orders. Yours resp., C. R. Louchs.
