ALLEN'S BOOK OF BERRIES — 1928 



The Fruits of Allen's plants. 



TO OUR many friends and customers and prospective customers, we extend 

 greetings and best wishes for 1928. We hope this year will bring happiness 

 and prosperity to all of you. At the one place where we might have some 

 little part in bringing about that happiness and prosperity, namely, in supplying 

 strawberry plants for your farm or garden, we pledge you our best efforts. 



We have grown for the spring of 1928 one of the finest and most complete 

 crops of plants of all varieties that we have ever had. And we promise that we 

 will spare neither time nor effort in getting your orders shipped promptly when 

 you want them, with true-to-name plants that will be all you can desire in root 

 system, cleaning, grading, bunching, packing and all the other things which 

 make for your success in growing strawberries. 



You will find the information given in this book dependable. We claim n^ 

 sudden fortunes for strawberry growers. But we do believe there are fairly sure, 

 fairly large profits for the grower who selects the right varieties, gets good plants 

 to start with and grows them properly. XT u i 



The variety descriptions also you can depend on. No matter how large 

 our stock, we make no great claims for a variety unless it has proved itself, (bor 

 example see Red Gold, page 20). We want to sell plants not only this year but 

 in the years to come also. And we believe it we can get the confidence of berry 

 growers and make them realize that our catalog statements as well as our plants 

 are thoroughly dependable, we can get their orders year after year Our old cus- 

 tomers have demonstrated to us that they appreciate this policy. If you have not 

 used our plants before, won't you try them this year? An order sheet and return 

 envelope is enclosed for your answer.
