Allen's Plants Here and There 
Thanks for Promptness 
Miller Co., Ark. March 20th, 1937. I received the 
order of 100 berry plants and have them set. They 
had been roughly handled in transit but otherwise were 
in good shape and were nice rooted and sized plants. 
Thank you for the promptness in filling this small order 
and returning the extra postage. — Mr. J. D. Blanchett. 
Sure Nice Plants 
Williamson Co., 111. March 17, 1937. Strawberry 
plants arrived in good condition and I am well pleased 
with them. They are sure nice plants. — Mr. S. F. 
Cates. 
Loaded with Blossoms and Berries 
Vigo Co., Ind. May 13, 1937. The last thousand 
Catskill arrived all right in wonderful condition. They 
were set Tuesday morning. The Dorsett and Fairfax 
I procured from you last year are literally loaded with 
blossoms and green berries, all borne on erect stems. 
I suggest to prospective plant purchasers to get them 
from Allen's which I have done and will continue to do 
for I have certainly been treated more than fairly. — 
Mrs. Curt Bell. 
Good Plants Bring New Orders 
Lee Co., Iowa. May 25, 1937. Plants arrived in 
good shape. Had good luck with them as it rained 
here shortly after setting plants. Some neighbors lost 
entire setting of plants, but plants were not as good as 
mine. You may look for new orders from this territory 
next year as I surely recommend your plants as the 
best that were shipped in here and also for promptness 
and fair dealing. — Mr. John L. Junkins. 
Splendid Root System 
Warren Co., Mo. April 2nd, 1937. Received our 
order in good shape and in good time for planting. 
The plants were the best we have ever planted, good 
size and a splendid root system. Thanks for your 
prompt shipment. — Mr. Hugo A. Schoppenhorst. 
Allen's Berry Book Helpful 
Salesman 
Baldwin Co., Ala. Sept. 25, 1937. The best sales- 
man who has ever called on me is surely the splendid 
catalog you have been kind enough to send me each 
year. It has filled me with much confidence in your 
knowledge of good berries. — Mr. Edward S. Moses. 
Friends Think It Great 
Essex Co., Mass. Jan. 19th, 1937. Received your 
Berry Book and was pleased to get it and have been 
showing it to my friends and they think it great. One 
of them wants a copy. He likes your berries and will 
order some in the spring. — Mr. W. F. McCurdy. 
Dependable Facts 
Emmet Co., Mich., April 1st, 1937. I want to com- 
pliment you on the dependable facts printed in your 
catalog. Due to your fair representation of Fairfax I 
am into it on the ground floor with plants received from 
you. Fairfax ripened last spring on a year old patch 
with Dunlap, three or four days later than Premier. 
A wide spread between old and new. I like that feat- 
ure. I have Pearl, Orem, Big Late, but the last berries 
picked were Fairfax. It stood the dry weather best. — 
Mr. Edmond R. Aler. 
Contains Information Wanted 
Middlesex Co., Mass. Apr. 19, 1937. I wish to 
thank you for your Berry Book. It gives the informa- 
tion one would like to have and so seldom finds in a 
plant catalog. — Mr. Charles S. Kubik. 
Wonderful Crop 
Avery Co., N. C. April 1st, 1937. I had a wonderful 
crop last year from plants ordered from you. I con- 
sider that you sell the best plants grown in the U. S. — 
Mr. J. L. Hartley. 
Sorry He Did Not Plant More 
Providence Co., R. I. June 30th, 1937. For the past 
two years I have been purchasing a small number of 
strawberry plants from you. The ones I purchased a 
year ago, 7,000 in number, produced a particularly fine 
crop this year. My customers were more than pleased 
with the size and appearance of the berries. I have 
already set out a smaller bed for next year but after 
the fine results of last month, I wish to increase pro- 
duction. Is it advisable to set out new plants this late 
in the season? — Mr. G. Mason Gross. 
Not One Mixed Plant in 25 Years 
Davidson Co., Tenn. March 5th, 1937. Have been 
ordering plants of different varieties from you for 25 
years and can truthfully say have never received one 
plant that did not come up true to name and variety, 
and can recommend your plants far above others. — 
Mrs. W. A. Hanning. 
Satisfactory Service and Superior Quality 
Henrico Co., Va. April 10th, 1937. Thank you 
very much for your prompt and careful attention to my 
order which was placed with you several weeks ago. 
The plants were received in due time and in good con- 
dition. They were all good, healthy plants and I am 
expecting them to yield as abundantly as they have in 
previous years. I have raised many different varieties 
of your berries and have found that each variety meas- 
ures up to as much and more than you say of them in 
your catalog. I have been a customer of yours for 
many years and it has been a real pleasure dealing with 
you both on account of the very satisfactory service 
that you render and the superior quality of your plants. 
Hoping to place an order with you next year, and to 
remain your customer for many years to come, I am. — 
Mr. N. S. Shipman. 
Allen's Plants Thrive in 
Cold Climates 
Canada 
Ontario, Canada. Jan. 30, 1937. Plants received 
last year lived good. The Everbearers did well with 
the Wayzata the largest berries, but they did not make 
runners like the Gem did. The Catskill, Dorsett and 
Fairfax all make a good vigorous plant growth and 
yield nice large berries here for their first and some- 
times second year, but do not seem to have the vigor 
when we replant our own plants. I believe it is the 
winters up here. Even the Premier is affected with 
some growers. With us Premier is as large as any, the 
first berries often measuring seven inches around. They 
size up all their crop, picking about a month long under 
normal conditions. I have seen your 1937 catalog and 
value it very highly. — Mr. M. L. Holmes. 
North Dakota 
William Co., N. Dak. Feb. 1st, 1937. Your straw- 
berry plants were the only ones I saved any of last 
summer, and I got plants from three different places — 
in North Dakota, South Dakota, and yours. — Mrs. H. ( 
A. Schroeder. 
Vermont 
Windsor Co., Vt. June 3, 1937. Am thanking you . 
very kindly for your co-operation. I've planted the 
last lot of strawberries which are doing fine. I expect 
to have a very good crop this year. — Mr. K. Birsky. 
New York 
Cayuta Co., N. Y. June 10th, 1937. The Gem 
strawberry plants which I got from you are doing fine. 
Mr. H. C. Burnham.
