Aberdeen 



Very Productive 

 Berries Large 



Aberd^ 



^ This variety originated in New Jersey. It is a strong grower, 



'^« Q^^n making plenty of healthy, dark green foliage. The plants are 

 immensely productive of good size, good looking berries. Aberdeen is very 

 popular in parts of New Jersey, and tests conducted by the Department of 

 Horticulture in Pennsylvania in 1929 indicated that it was the heaviest yielding 

 variety in that state. The berries commence ripening in early midseason. We 

 do not feel that Aberdeen can replace Premier to any appreciable extent but we 

 do feel that it may have special value as a midseason berry where Big Joe is not 

 at its best. Big Joe sometimes is affected too much by late frosts or unfavor- 

 able soil conditions. In such cases Aberdeen should be thoroughly tried. Prob- 

 ably no variety makes a stronger, healthier, or more vigorous rooted plant and 

 this may partly account for the big crop of fancy large berries which they pro- 

 duce. We were forced to turn many orders for Aberdeen down last year, but 

 we have a very nice lot this season and believe we will be able to take care of all 

 our orders for this excellent variety. Price list, page 23. 



Has Fine Berries Now 



Providence County, R. I., Aucust inth, 1931.— I re- 

 ceived my strawberry plants and put them out as you 

 advised and I have some mijrhty fine berries now. I am 

 glad to recommend your plants to anyone wanting fine 

 stock. Mr. Edward P. Boothe. 



Great Satisfaction From Allen's Plants 



Suffolk County, N. Y., March 30th, 1931.— Your straw- 

 berries have given great satisfaction and I am ordering 

 the same varieties again and inclose check for $6.00 for 

 same. Augusta S. Kalbfleisch. 



Thinks Premier and Big Joe Best 



Henrico County, Va., April 15th, 1931. — Have been 

 growing strawberries for the last 53 years for market 

 and have gotten plants from a good many, but Allen's 

 plants beat them all. Premier and Big Joe are the 

 best I ever tried. Mr. J. M. Eanes. 



Depends On Our Description 



Summer County, Tenn., March 9th, 1931. — I haven't 

 had your berry catalog this year. I learned years ago to 

 depend on your descriptions and recommendations. We 

 in this territory have used thousands of your plants. 

 However at this time I am anxious to have your opinion 

 of the Blakemore as a commercial variety in competition 

 with Premier and Aroma. Mr. W. H. McGlothlin. 



Good Luck With Allen's Plants 



Lancaster County, Pa., April, 1931. — You will again 

 find our order for plants. We find them true to name 

 and always have good luck as we have had plants from 

 other companies and have had black root and very poor 

 plants. We have had wonderful berries already since we 

 buy from you. Mr. Joha H. Suavely.
