For best results from your own efforts in growing berries we hope you will 

 use Allen's Winning Plants. They are registered and are grown under the 

 following rigid schedule. As a berry grower you cannot afford to do all of 

 these things but you should insist that your plant grower do them for you. 

 By renewing your planting stock evenly year or two you can realize most of 

 the benefits from this program. 



Here are the things we must do to qualify for the registered label which 

 means so much to you as a grower: 



1. Provide a screen house as a source of indexed virus free plants. 



2. Our planting stock is all indexed virus free and we keep it that way by Con- 

 stant vigilance against the aphid which is the carrier of virus organism. 



3. This superior virus free stock must be grown in isolation from other plants in 

 the neighborhood which are not under aphid protection or are not virus free. 



4. Soil fumigation before setting of plants and fumigation twice during the grow- 

 ing season to eliminate nematodes. ALLEN'S fields all have three fumigations to 

 give you superior plants. 



5. Abundant plant food, reinforced with a minor element mixture insures that 

 ALLEN'S plants never want for anything. 



6. Continuing inspections to make sure that our planting stock and fields are 

 free from red stele and other diseases. 



7. With ALLEN'S PLANTS you get all the above, plus the benefit of our experi- 

 ence. We grow no other nursery product and we have been growing and shipping 

 fine strawberry plants for 87 years. We believe this means a lot to you as a 

 grower.
