ALLEN'S BOOK OF BERRIES— 1924 



Reap All the Benefits 



In the Middle and Northern States the earlier your plants are set in spring the 

 better your chances of success. Just as soon as weather permits your ground should 

 be prepared and the plants set. A difference of a few days in setting will often make 

 more difference in resulting growth and crop than a heavy coating of manure or fer- 

 tilizer. This is not theory. It has happened with us, and with many others. In a 

 season of low prices this might make the difference between profit and loss. If high 

 prices, the loss by late planting will be all the greater. 



Northern Grown Plants, if properly grown and handled, may be good plants. 

 But if you depend on plants from Northern States you stand a chance of losing all or 

 a part of the advantage of early planting. Your plants should be on hand to set just 

 as soon as the ground is ready. Your northern plants may or may not be dug by that 

 time, depending on weather conditions. Delays in transportation may hold up early 

 planting. We are fortunately situated to take care of you in this respect. We have 

 hard winters but our springs open up in time to dig plants and have them delivered to 

 you in time to reap all the benefits of Early Planting. 



CLAIMS, if any, must be made on receipt of plants. Call for your plants 

 as soon as they arrive. Protect plants from sun and wind until planted. We 

 pack plants to reach you in good condition. We cannot be responsible for 

 drought, floods, insects, after planting. These things are entirely beyond 

 our control. 



Should there be a shortage in your order report at once number of pack- 

 ages and number of plants of each variety received. This will enable us to 

 promptly adjust any discrepancy. Often the transportation company will 

 separate a shipment and the balance of your plants will come in on the next 

 train. 



Not Confined to U. S. A. 



Bermuda, Nov., 21, 1922 

 I received the plants in good 

 condition and planted them under 

 favorable weather as we had a 

 nice rain or two before they ar- 

 rived. Many thanks to you for 

 prompt delivery.

Just Our Way, Come Again.

 Plants arrived last week. The 

 plants were fine and in very good 

 condition. Weather condition 

 has been favorable since planting, 

 and they look very nice, seem to 

 have all taken root. Thank you 

 for your careful packing and 

 prompt delivery.
