THE PLANT SITUATION - 1969 
SHORT supplies of many varieties will be the story this year because 
of extreme heat during the summer. Many established plants died 
during August and runner growth was blocked well into September. 
This growth situation always results in far less plants per row. 
PRODUCTION costs continue to rise. Anybody in business knows the 
spiral we are in. 
REGISTERED PLANTS. No single step you can take is more important 
than knowing you have the best plants available. ALLEN'S WINNING 
PLANTS start you fast in your berry project. 
SOMETHING NEW. We have a fine new midseason variety, "Red- 
chief" to offer this year. See Page 10. 
ORDER EARLY. This way you can insure getting the varieties that 
you want. Also, this helps us plan our work so that the plants may be 
dug while thoroughly dormant and reserved for you.
