ALLEN'S PLANTS PAY 



The most iraportant dolleurs you spend in producing your 

 berry crop are those which you xise to buy plants. The kind of 

 plants you get has an influence for good or bad on every hour 

 of labor and every other dollar of cost incurred from the time 

 the field is plowed until the berries are sold. It is vital to get 

 the best plants obtainable. We make no claim to selling the 

 only good plants you can get— but WE KNOW ALLEN'S 

 PLANTS ARE GOOD PLANTS because they have in abundance 

 the three things which all really good plants must have. 



1. Freedom from insect and disease troubles. 



2. Good, well developed crowns and roots. 



3. The vitality to grow vigorously and bear heavy crops. 



THESE ALONE ARE NOT ENOUGH. The plants must be kept true to name and not mixed by careless 

 handling or lack of knowledge of varieties. Every bundle of our plants carries an individual variety label. 

 You as a buyer are entitled to full count of good plants which only careful grading can give. Promptness in 

 shipping which makes possible early setting, is very important to you. Plants that are well cleaned and tied 

 in straight even bundles make it possible to do a better job of setting—quicker. And finally, a most necessary 

 part of your good plant growers job is to keep the plants from undue exposure to sun and wind at digging 

 time and to pack them so that they are still brimful of vigor and vitality when they reach you. 



Our long experience (SB yeazs) gives us the know-how to do these things. Our attention to this 

 one nursery crop enables us to make this knowledge and experience count for you— when you buy 

 Allen's Plants. 



We should be able to do a better job on just strawberry plants than equally experienced growers 

 who handle dozens of other things. Let us prove to you that we do. 



Bond Co., 111., April 9, 1942. The plants we got from your 



nursery last year were the finest strawberry plants I ever saw 



from a nursery. Our friends got plants from different nurseries 



in but there wasn't any compariaon. Your plants 



seem to have such long roots and the leaves such a dark 



green color. »t ,_i « , ... 



Noble Paul Tumbow 



Middlesex Co., Mass., April 2, 1942. Received my straw- 

 berry plants Saturday and I never saw such grand plants. I 

 know they will grow to beat the band. Many thanks. 



Mrs. A. Paquette 



Champaign Co., Ohio, June 5, 1942. I got 1,000 plants of 

 you this spring early and they are doing fine. Have not lost 

 any. I got 400 plants of you 5 years ago and have had a good 

 yield each spring. This spring I picked 309 quarts from that 

 five year old patch. 



Mr. H. Johnson 



Crawford Co., Pa., Dec. 11, 1942. I am enclosing a snapshot 

 of my strawberry beds, the plants purchased from you last 

 spring. This picture of course does not show the full patch. I 

 planted about 1200 plants and can gladly state only lost about 

 25 during the very dry spell we had here and my stand shows 

 it is a very healthy lot. My neighbors all say mine are the best 

 in this section.
