 Florida or a few areas of deep 

 south. Productive. Free in run-

Something Special: Best grown in 

 Florida but the eating is good

 ners freely. Built-in frost re- 

 sistance.

 Premier (Howard 17) is in the

 tible to leaf spot and verticil-

We received our plants, plus the 25 free ones for recommending ALLEN'S. I want you to know 

 that I am exceptionally pleased with my plants. Let me give you a comparison: I wanted 

 some Ogallala's which are not listed in your catalog so I ordered them from the company from 

 which I get my garden seed. Having had good results from their seeds, I assumed their 

 strawberries would equal the garden seeds. I planted the strawberries 2 to 3 weeks before 

 receiving yours and to look at the plants at the time of setting, you would have seen no 

 difference, but it you go into my patch today, you could pick out every ALLEN plant. Not only 

 have your plants overtaken the others, they are more vigorous, healthy-looking and are bloom- 

 ing profusely. We are pinching blossoms this year but the plants look as though they had 

 been in my garden the previous season. You may be assured that there will be only ALLEN 

 plants in my next eight rows which I plan to set next spring. I have high regard for your plants. 

 Thanks again for such fine plants. . . . Mrs. Arlen Gray, Peebles, Ohio
