HOW TO ORDER 



1. ADDRESS. Print your name, street address, Postoffice, State and Zip 

 Code on the order blank. 



2. SHIPPING DATE. Fill in date you would like plants shipped in space 

 provided on order blank. If you do not fill in this space, we will ship on 

 date best suited to your locality, advising you when order is received. Plant- 

 ing as early as the weather permits is the rule. See Page 34. 



3. VARIETIES. Decide the number of plants of each variety you want. List 

 on the order blank, referring to Page 38 for prices. 



4. TRANSPORTATION AND INSURANCE. Delivery charges are in addi- 

 tion to prices on Page 38. We will ship the best way for your location for 

 an additional 15% of the cost of plants (20% west of the Mississippi). For 

 this 15%, we pay all charges for packing your plants to keep them fresh, 

 transportation to your city, insurance to guarantee delivery of plants, and 

 Special Handling through the transportation system wherever possible. 



5. AIR TRANSPORTATION. Salisbury is served by Salisbury-Wicomico 

 Airport and Allegheny Airlines. If air transportation is desired, do not send 

 the additional transportation charges as they may be paid when plants are 

 received. Your nearest airport can give you an estimate of charges, based 

 upon 3 pounds per 100 plants. 



6. PAYMENT. Add the cost of the plants plus 15% and include check or 

 money order in this amount, payable to W. F. Allen Company. 



VIRUS FREE (REGISTERED) 



Plants referred to as "virus free" in this catalog have been field grown by us 

 from virus free foundation stock furnished by the U. S. Department of Agriculture, 

 Bureau of Plant Industry, Soils and Agricultural Engineering, Beltsville, Maryland. 

 Our field-grown stock has been dusted with parathion to control aphids which 

 transmit the virus diseases. It has also been grown at considerable distances 

 from any other strawberry plants. Since viruses do not produce clear cut symp- 

 toms in most strawberry varieties but simply weaken and devitalize the plants, 

 no guarantee can be made that these plants are 100% free of viruses. Because 

 of the measures that we have used to protect these plants from virus infection, 

 we believe them to be substantially virus free. 



All plants from virus free sources which meet the rigid growing requirements 

 of our Inspection Service are entitled to be sold as "Registered." All our virus 

 free varieties have met these requirements and will carry a label showing that 

 they are "registered." We hope W. F. Allen Company will receive your plant 

 orders, but in any event you should get plants which meet the rigid requirements 

 which entitle them to be registered. 



TRUE TO NAME 



WE TAKE EVERY PRECAUTION TO HAVE ALL PLANTS TRUE TO NAME. 

 WE WILL REPLACE THE PLANTS OR REFUND YOUR MONEY IF ANY PROVE 

 OTHERWISE BUT WE WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY SUM GREATER 

 THAN THE COST OF THE PLANTS ORDERED.
