THE PLANT SITUATION -1975 



In 1935, at the end of a half century selling strawberry plants, W. F. Allen 

 wrote in a public letter: "After fifty years in this business, I look back with 

 pleasure at the many personal and business friends I have made during that 

 period. I want to thank them all, whether our acquaintance is of brief or long 

 duration, for the patronage which has made this business possible. I have made 

 mistakes, but where pointed out I have tried to correct them fairly. No attempt 

 has been made to sell plants on price alone, but I have tried to give full value 

 for every dollar received. We all realize that to continue in business our cus- 

 tomers must prosper. With this thought in mind, and with fifty years experience 

 to guide us, we try to write a catalog that will be a real help and when orders 

 come we try to send plants that will be a real pleasure and profit to the buyer." 



In 1975 our purposes remain the same. May we have the pleasure of 

 serving you in our 90th year? 



ALLEN'S SUPERIOR VIRUS FREE PLANTS remain as the Standard 

 of the Industry and your assurance of plants that will GROW FOR YOU.
