ALLEN'S PLANTS PAY 



If every buyer of strawberry plants this year could see our plant fields as this is written (October 1946), we 

 believe we would be completely swamped with orders. They look irresistible. Tall vigorous plants, gleaming with 

 health! Leaves so green on dark-foliage varieties that they are almost black! Growth so robust that some individual 

 leaves measure four inches across!

1. They are grown on some of the strongest, most fertile soil we have ever farmed. 



2. They have lacked for nothing in the way of plant food, including plenty of organic matter in the soil 

 to provide the best environment for root as well as top growth. 



3. Planting stock has been carefully selected for high vigor, and freedom from insects and diseases. 



4. A favorable growing season has enabled good plants, good soil and good treatment to really "do their 

 stuff." Result, a plant stock of superlative value. 



By Careful Handling to keep the plants true-to-name. 



By Expert Packing to help them retain their vitality for your profit. 



By Years of Experience (62) to provide the "know-how" all along the line. 



By Doing This One Thing Better, no other large nursery firm handles Strawberry plants only.

Highland Co., Ohio, Apr. 19, 1946. It has just been 12 

 years ago I sent you my first berry order and I have 

 been buying from you ever since as you deal honestly 

 and give extra plants. Your plants are good. They have 

 good roots and that is the main thing in berry plants. 

 Mr. Henry K. Williams 



Litchfield Co.. Conn., Apr. 29, 1946. The plants, beautiful 

 •pecimens, with long husky roots, came in perfect condi- 

 tion; they are doing fine. Your count was very generous. 

 Thanks muchly. 



Mr. E. W. Day 



D. C, Apr. 1, 1946. My plants arrived in good condition; 

 and such plants; finest plants I ever received from any 

 nursery. They have been in the ground now several weeks 

 and every plant living. I should have over 100% stand 

 for I received 27 plants for every 25c; it gives me confi- 

 dence in Allen's Collections. Also received over remit- 

 tance of postage. Mr. C. E. Laser 



Delaware Co., Ind., May 1, 1946. The first shipment of 

 1000 Catskill and Chesapeake plants I received a few 

 months ago are all living. I don't think I lost a plant, 

 sure full of life plants. Mr. F. F. FuUhart
