TRY AGAIN, PLEASE! 
Last year we had to send back thousands 
of orders amounting to hundreds of thou- 
sands of plants because of a shortage of 
stock on nearly all varities. 
There are more plants this year, but still 
not a normal supply of most varieties. 
We would like to supply you with plants 
— of the varieties you want. So order early, 
won't you? Your orders will help us and 
our plants will work faithfully for you. 
Order early to be sure of getting the varieties you want. 
Set plants early to be sure of getting maximum growth for vigorous, productive fruit- 
ing beds. 
Make an early decision to set some plants this spring. If neglected now you must 
wait another whole year (until spring 1948) before picking a full crop of berries, as late 
summer and early fall setting is not practical. 
IT WILL PAY YOU TO USE ALLEN'S PLANTS! THIS SPRING! EARLY! 
INSTRUCTIONS TO PURCHASERS 
Terms. Cash with order. Remit by Money Order, 
Bank Draft, or Cash in Registered Letter. No C.O.D. 
shipments, without part payment. 
Packing. No extra charge made for packing at 
prices quoted on page 31. 
Time of Shipment. We ship plants from November 
1st to May 1st. See paragraph on page 26 "When 
should plants be set?" 
True to Name. We take every precaution to have 
all plants true to name and we will refund your

responsible for any sum greater than the cost of 
the plants. 
Late Shipments. All plants ordered shipped after 
May 1st will be packed and shipped in best possible 
condition but at purchasers' risk. 
Our Guarantee. We guarantee all plants ordered 
shipped before May 1st to reach you in good con- 
dition. If they are found to be otherwise, either 
through a slip on our part or delay or mistreatment 
in transit, notify us immediately so that we can refill 
your order. Any claim for poor condition must be 
made immediately on receipt of plants as we cannot 
be responsible for drought, floods, insects, etc., which 
may affect the plants after their arrival, as these 
things are entirely beyond our control. 
WHEN TO ORDER— AND HOW TO SHIP 
ORDER as soon as you have decided what varieties and how many you want. Write plainly, so that we can get 
your name and address correctly for prompt acknowledgment of order and delivery of plants. Be sure to fill in your 
County on the order sheet. 
EXPRESS is generally satisfactory and the best way to ship plants if your order is large, or if the distance is great. 
PARCEL POST. Generally cheapest and most satisfactory for small shipments and with larger shipments in adjoin- 
ing and nearby states. 
Strawberry plants packed for shipment weigh approximately 4 pounds per 100 plants. Make up your order, calculate 
the approximate weight and if you do not know your zone from Salisbury, Maryland, use distance given herewith, or 
ask your postmaster^ 
With zone rate published here you can easily calculate the amount of postage to send. 
BE SURE TO SEND ENOUGH POSTAGE AS ANY EXCESS WILL BE RETURNED. 
Each additional 
If sufficient amount to pay parcel post 
charges is not sent with the order, the 
plants will be sent by Express collect, or 
by parcel post C. O. D. for the amount of 
postage due, as we cannot keep accounts 
and send bills for small items of postage.
