W. F. ALLEN, SALISBURY, MARYLAND 



Colossus. Bound to please all 



Wm. Belt. There are few lovers of Straw- 

 berries that would not cross a plot and pick out 

 the William Belt as the best flavored. It is the 

 standard for quality the country over. The de- 

 mand for this variety has been much greater for 

 the past few years, and we frequently dispose of 

 every plant that we have, and sometimes do not 

 have enough. A Washington grower says: "The 

 William Belt and Chesapeake for flavor and good 

 eating are dandies. I am going to run all my patch 

 to these two kinds. They stood the drought best 

 and are in good shape now." Notwithstanding 

 the William Belt is somewhat subject to rust, its 

 popularity seems to increase right along, owing, 

 no doubt, to its exceptionally good qualities. I 

 find, however, that it does not rust so badly now as 

 it did a few years ago, and there are few amateur 



growers who do not include this in their collection. 

 For fancy market and the home table it is indis- 

 pensable. I know of nothing that approaches it 

 in quality except Chesapeake. 



Knows Where to Order Again 

 The Strawberry plants ordered of you arrived in 

 excellent condition. They are, in fact, the best-looking 

 plants I ever received, and I have had many orders 

 filled by other firms in the past. We are busy setting 

 them out and confidently expect a good yield from 

 them. I am very grateful for your promptness and 

 shall know where to place future orders. — Frank W. 

 Gibson, Cumberland Co., Maine. 



The Strawberry Plants Are All Eight 

 The Strawberry plants you sent me are all right and 

 in good order. I thank you for early shipment. — J. R 

 Wolfe, Lebanon Co., Pa., April 22, 1911. 



This is how my plants are shipped 



Ekey. 1 am favorably impressed with this variety 



Never Received Better Plants 

 Received plants yesterday in fine condition and am 

 very much pleased with same. They are the finest 

 plants, on the whole, that lever received. I thank you 

 very much for promptness, and when I need more 

 plants will write you. — W. A. Case, Sullivan Co., 

 N. Y.. April 26, 191 1. 



Packing Not Excelled 

 The plants came in perfect condition, as "Allen's 

 plants" have always come to me, and I set them same 

 day, and they are growing well with not a missing hill 

 so far. Your manner of packing for shipment excels 

 anything I know. Thank you very much for your 

 kindness. — F. L. Smith. 



Grape-Vines Sent to Florida 

 Grape-vines received in good order for being shipped 

 so far. I thank you very much for careful packing. I 

 hope I can place more orders with you. — L. U. Nagle, 

 Putman Co., Fla.
