the cost of plants (15% west of the Mississippi] — 500 minimum on all orders.

check or money order, payable to W. F. Allen Company, in this amount with 
your order.

we will ship on date best suited to your locality, advising you when order

6. 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. 
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.
