Order early. It is always a good policy to order your plants early. It is espe- 
cially good policy this year if you expect to use plants of Midland, Redstar, Fair- 
peake, Chesapeake or any of the everbearers. These are in much shorter supply 
than last year and there probably will not be enough to supply the demand this 
season. 
Premier, Fairfax, Catskill, Temple and Sparkle are in shorter supply than last 
season but there probably will be enough to supply a normal demand. Free run- 
ning varieties like Robinson, Blakemore, Tennessee Beauty, Tefinessee Shipper 
and others are in plentiful supply, with little doubt about there being enough 
plants to supply the demand. 
These observations on the plant supply are based on our knowledge of this 
entire section plus reports that we have from other leading plant growing areas. 
Our varieties follow this pattern quite closely except that due to our especially 
selected stocks of Catskill we probably are fixed better on this variety than most 
plant growers. In fact, our Catskill plants from this stock have grown just as well 
as Premier and Sparkle. The same is true to some extent of Fairfax and Dorsett. 
Of the everbearers Superfection is not only the best of the varieties to date 
but is also the most plentiful from the standpoint of plants available. 
In making out your plant order this season fill in EMPIRE. This new variety, 
developed by the Geneva Experiment Station in New York, is well worth trying. 
You can read full description on page 9. We can tell you this here, it is superior 
to Premier in six important ways, inferior in one, uncertain in another. Take a 
look at EMPIRE. 
Quality of the Plants. Fairly adequate rains from mid-July on have enabled 
plants to develop nicely ; plant beds look quite vigorous and roots on those dug 
for early orders are better than normal at this writing in late October. 
Allen's True-to-Name plants, standard of the industry for 67 years, will help 
you grow better berries. Don't delay. Order today.
