Bi^ Crops From Allen's Plants 



If you have figured about how many fancy berries you can sell, or how many you 

 have the facilities and labor for picking and marketing, or how many you need to supply 

 your family and have some for doing up and for friends, it is desirable to know about 

 what yield to expect from plants. A good ''Rule of Thumb" to go by is that with good 

 plants, under average good conditions, you should expect approximately one quart of fruit 

 per plant set. Notice how this figure, or better, runs through the experiences of the grow- 

 ers quoted below who have used our plants. 



5,000 Quarts from 5,000 Plants 



Washington Co., Ohio, Feb. 24, 1930 — I certainly 



had a fine crop of berries off my patch last year. 



Nearly 5,000 quarts. They were very large and fine 



quality. The>' were Allen's plants. ^5,000 plants set). 



Perley H. Wagner. 



Another Nice Yield 



Potter Co., Pa., April 30, 1930— Last year I bought 

 60 of your Premier plants and picked from the 60 

 plants 73 quarts of berries. Guy Scott. 



Over Quart Per Plant and Well Pleased 



Rockingham Co., Va., Feb. 25, 1930 — In 1928 I 

 bought 750 plants from you, 250 each Premier, Big 

 Joe and Chesapeake. From the 750 plants I got from 

 you I picked 25 thirty-two quart crates (800 qts.) of 

 the finest berries you most ever sa-w. The Premier is 

 away ahead in quarts. Produced as many berries as 

 Big Joe and Chesapeake combined. I certainly was 

 well pleased with your plants and I trust that I will 

 receive just as nice plants this year.

700 Plants— 906 Quarts Fine Berries 



Rockbridge Co., Va., Feb. 1ft, 1930 — Last season 

 we gathered 906 quarts of very fine berries from the 

 700 plants we bought from you in 1928. The plants 

 always come in fine shape. J. G. Monroe. 



Premier Holds Most of the Records 



Walker Co., Ga., Nov. 4th, 1929 — Thinking that 

 you might be interested to know how the strawberry 

 plants that I bought from you last year turned out. 

 On March 15th, 1928 I set out 1,000 Premier plants 

 that I bought from you on first year new ground. This 



past season I gathered and sold 52 crates of berries of 

 24 quarts each, 1248 quarts, and owing to bad weather 

 as it was very wet and rainy nearly every day, am 

 satisfied that I lost as many as 12 crates of berries or 

 288 quarts and we had all the berries that we wanted 

 for our Ivjme use. I could sell them where the buyers 

 would turn down other berries for 25 and 50c more 

 per crate than others were asking for Klondyke's. 

 Everj'one that saw them said they never saw so many 

 berries on such plants. W. N. McCullough. 



Good Results — Best Berries 



Penobscot Co., Me., Feb. 19, 1930—1 wish to thank 

 you for your "Book of Berries." I also want to tell 

 you of the good results I got from the plants that I 

 obtained from you two years ago. The plants arrived 

 in fine shape. I picked 1608 quarts and sold practic- 

 ally all in my own store. Everybody thought they 

 were the best berries they had ever seen.

Must Have Allen's True-to-Name Plants 

 For Record Yield 



Clinton Co., Ohio, March 4, 1930— Find inclosed 

 check for $47.50 for which please send me 9,500 Pre- 

 mier Strawberry plants. I am trying for a yield of 

 ten thousand boxes per acre and if I succeed I know 

 I must have Allen's True-to-Name plants. 

 John Harland. 



Bumper Crop and Still Picking Every Day 



Chester Co., Pa., June 16, 1930— Enclosed find 

 check for plants received. Have just finished harvest- 

 ing my strawberries and had a bumper crop. Have 

 picked 190 crates to date from 9,000 plants and stUl 

 picking every day. Charles L. Piersol. 



A Stra^vberry Garden Is Worth 

 The Effort 



We gain nothing worth while without 

 some effort, but that spent on a small straw- 

 berry garden is certainly well repaid. A 

 small plot with from 200 to 500 plants will 

 assure you of many things. 



1. Plenty of luscious berries over a 

 long season, right fresh off the vines. 



2. All you want for table use, "sugared 

 down," or otherwise. 



3. Strawberry shortcake, strawberry 

 ice-cream, cool drinks from strawberry juices 

 — and other ways. 



4. Plenty of berries to can and pre- 

 serve for winter use. 



5. Enough to share with your friends. 



6. Ready money from the Salable Sur- 

 plus. 



7. With the Everbearers, plenty for 

 table use all through the last summer and 

 fall. 



Order the plants now for your straw- 

 berry garden. We will send them when you 

 say. You'll be surprised how little it takes 

 for so much benefit and pleasure. Read be- 

 low how well pleased these folks are with 

 their strawberry garden from Allen's plants. 



A Big Dividend From a $3.60 Investment 



Buncombe Co., N. C. Feb. 15, 1930— Our last 

 shipment of berries. Big Joe. Premier and Chesapeake 

 were all we could ask for. We sold S47.80 worth, can- 

 ned and ate all we wanted. The Premier were far 

 above expectation. 24 to 30 filled a quart basket. 

 We only had 600 plants of Premier, Big Joe and 

 Chesapeake. All were fine and fruited nicely. 

 J. A .Woods. 



And She Had Never Set One Before 



Otego Co., N. Y., March 1, 1930—1 have a small 

 bed of your plants and last year had more than we 

 could use so sold some. After that they tried to get 

 them all. People would stop me on the street and say 

 they had heard I had the best strawberries anyone ever 

 ate. They were large size and wonderful flavor. Nev- 

 er lost a plant and I had never set one before. It 

 snowed the day after I set them out. I am ordering 

 s«me more. Mrs. Robert Briggs. 



Berries Every Day Until Late in November 



Floyd Co.. Ind.. Jan. 10. 1930— The 1.000 Premiers 

 we received from you last spring look wonderfully 

 good as do the Mastodon and New York. We picked 

 a few ripe berries from our Mastodon every day until 

 late in November. The plants were always full of 

 Klooms and berries. One doesn't have to order as many 

 plants from Allen's as every plant is certain. I don't 

 believe we lost a single plant. 



Mrs. E. M. Jenkins.
