Book of Berries, 1938 
Here we are again with our Annual Book of Berries, our 53rd. Many of our cus- 
tomers and friends have been receiving this catalog for 10, 20, 30 years, or even longer. 
Others will be receiving it this year for the first time. For both, our purposes are the 
same. 
First, we hope to secure the orders from those who expect to set strawberry plants 
this year. Possibly we can present some facts to those who are undecided which will 
encourage them also to try out this fine money crop. 
Second, it is our aim to present helpful information based on 53 years' experience 
and the latest research work. If we can help those who use our plants to secure good 
results and nice profits from the crop it will help our business also. 
With these things in view we want to call your attention especially to four main 
sections of this Berry Book. "Common Sense Methods for Growing Good Strawberry 
Crops," pages 8 to 13. Accurate and dependable variety descriptions, pages 14 to 27. 
Everbearing varieties and how to grow them, pages 28 to 31. "Picking the Winners" 
and price list of plants, pages 34 
and 35. 
Strawberry plants only. As 
we handle no other nursery crop, 
we believe that we can and do 
make a little better job of it 
than nurseries which handle a 
large number of different plants. 
This should be reflected in better 
results for those who use Allen's 
plants. We hope to have your 
orders.
