Allen's Plants Grow 
Well Pleased 
Knox Co., Ills. March 2, 1938. Please send prices 
on inclosed list. Wish to add that I am very much 
pleased with the fulfillment of my order last year. I 
hardly lost one percent of the 2,000 plants sent for. — 
Mr. A. L. Gibbs. 
2300 Plants Bought — 2300 Grew 
Marion Co., Ind. March 4, 1938. Kindly quote 
your lowest price on 2,300 Premier strawberry plants. 
I bought 2,300 from you last season and 2,300 grew. — 
Mr. J. H. Crall. 
Allen's Nicer than Other Plants 
Wapello Co., Iowa. March 28, 1938. I bought 
about 18,000 strawberry plants of you last year and 
was to report to you on them. They were extra nice 
plants and did exceedingly well. The Catskill made a 
wonderful row. My plants were so much nicer than 
the plants which other gardeners bought from Michigan 
this year. — Mr. L. W. V/atts. 
They Start Right in Growing 
Cumberland Co., Maine. April 29, 1938. We have 
always had good returns from your plants as they start 
right in growing as soon as planted. — Mrs. O. O. 
Stover. 
Not One Failed 
St. Louis Co., Mo. July 7th, 1938. The writer, in 
conjunction with Mr. Joseph Wettring of Jefferson 
Co., Mo., early this spring ordered around 1,000 of 
your strawberry plants. We just want to state that 
these were the finest plants we have ever had the 
pleasure of putting in the ground. I don't believe one 
plant failed to take hold and we want to express our 
sincere appreciation of your fine products. We do not 
hesitate to recommend your plants to anyone who 
contemplates the purchase of same. — Dr. D. A. 
Eidman 
Growing Beautifully 
Douglas Co., Nebr. May 21st, 1938. Just want to 
tell you that while we have endeavored to keep blos- 
soms and setting fruit picked off of the 1,000 straw- 
berry plants we ordered of you this spring, yet a few 
were overlooked and six weeks from the day we set 
out the plants we picked ripe strawberries. We think 
that is quite some record. The plants are growing 
beautifully. — Mrs. I. B. Stephens. 
Every Plant Has Lived 
Passaic Co., N. J. May 12th, 1938. Your plants 
have proved to be all that your catalog stated them 
to be. All plants were in a healthy condition and have 
blossomed profusely and are beginning to show fruit. 
Every plant has lived and more than doubled its size 
in spite of a 43^ inch snowfall and a two day black 
frost within a week after setting out. I certainly 
will recommend Allen's strawberry plants whenever 
possible. Thank you for your prompt attention 
to my order. — Mr. Louis Reichel. 
Dealing with Friends 
Lycoming Co., Pa. April 16, 1938. I received the 
Premier and Catskill plants in fine condition and now 
they are all growing nicely in our garden. Thank you 
for returning the excess postage I sent. There seems 
to be a personal touch in your service that makes one 
feel he is dealing with a friend rather than with some 
"company" with which he is not acquainted. Best 
v/ishes for your continued success. — Mr. Joseph E. 
Mcllwain. 
Fine Yield — 1,800 Quarts from 1,200 Plants 
Marion Co., W. Va. April 13th, 1938. I got my 
plants from the post office this evening and they sure 
are very nice. The Fairfax and the Premier that I 
got from you in 1936 did fine. I picked 450 gallons 
from 1,200 plants and they were certainly nice. Many 
of my customers said they were the finest they ever 
saw. — Mr. W. W. Laughlin. 
Wonderful Plants — Large Yield 
Middlesex Co., Mass. August 9th, 1938. I wish to 
express my thanks for the wonderful plants you sent 
me in 1937 and to tell you that I received a large yield 
this spring. — Mr. J. W. Molan. 
Fairfax — A Strong Grower 
Essex Co., Mass. May 20th, 1938. The plants I 
received from you have been most successful, especially 
the Fairfax. This is a very strong, erect variety. 
They are in full bloom now and I have flower stems 
nearly as large as a pencil and stand 14 inches from 
the ground. — Mr. P. J. Brooks.
