A fancy late shipping berry, 

 Large, solid, handsome, moder- 

 ately productive. Needs liberal fertilization. 

 Berries sell with Chesapeake.^ Makes plants 

 freely but need springy Land for big crops. 

 Price-list, page 15. 



^V'leVfeiTm'fnn ^ ^®^ ^^^^ variety. In- 

 f f dMllIlglOIl troducer very enthusias- 

 tic. He says, "It is a good plant maker, big 

 cropper, berries large, glossy, deep rich red 

 like Black Heart Cherries. Keeps very 

 well." Seems worthy of a thorough trial.

Asparagus Roots— Mary Washington 



Washington asparagus is generally recognized to be the best variety, and Mary 

 Washington the best strain of that variety. Leading Asparagus growers say that it starts 

 earlier, produces more and larger stalks, possesses the highest rust-resistance, and will net 

 more money per acre or more satisfaction to the home garden. We have a nice lot of well- 

 grown, 2-year-old roots. Price-list, page 15. 



Instructions To Purchasers 



When to Order. As soon as you have 

 decided what varieties and how many you 

 want. 



Remit by Money order, Bank draft or 

 cash in Registered Letter. 



Write Plainly so that we can get your 

 name and address correctly for prompt ac- 

 knowledgment of order and delivery of 

 plants. 



Packing. No extra charge made for 

 packing at prices quoted on opposite page. 



Time of Sihipment. We ship plants from 

 November 1st to May 1st, see paragraph on 

 Page 6, "Time to Set Plants." 



True to Name. We take every precau- 

 tion to have all plants true-to-name and we 

 will refund your money if any prove other- 

 wise, but we will not be responsible for any 

 sum greater than the cost of the plants. 



Late Shipment. All plants ordered ship- 

 ped after May 1st will be packed and shipped 

 in best possible condition but at purchasers' 

 risk. 



Our Guarantee. We guarantee all plants 

 ordered shipped before May 1st to reach you 

 in good growing condition. If they are 

 found to be otherwise, either through a slip 

 on our part or delay or mistreatment in 

 transit, notify us immediately so that we can 

 refill your order. Any claim for poor con- 

 dition must be made immediately on receipt 

 of plants as we cannot be responsible for 



drought, floods, insects, etc., which may ef- 

 fect the plants after their arrival as these 

 things are entirely beyond our control. 



Early 



Order Early and let us save the varieties 

 you want. Set Plants Early. Experience has 

 proven many times that it makes a great 

 difference in the growth of the plants. Early 

 setting certainly pays. Read on page 6 un- 

 der "Time to Plant." 



No\v Is The Time 



Don't neglect to order plants this 

 spring, thinking you can make it up by 

 fall setting. It can't be done. You can- 

 not get good plants then, and the chan- 

 ces would be against them even if you 

 could get good plants. We make no 

 shipments in Summer or Fall until 

 November 1st. 



Prices 



Our prices are somewhat higher than last 

 year. TMiis was made necessary by the re- 

 duced yield per acre of plants this summer. 

 You will find, however, that the plants are 

 fully up to our usual standard and are well 

 worth the money. And we pledge again that 

 with a normal growing season in 1931 our 

 prices for next year will be no higher than 

 in 1930. You will at all times get your 



money's worth with AUen^s plants. 



How To Ship 



Express is generally satisfactory and the best way to ship plants if your order is 

 large, or if the distaijce is great. 



Parcel Post. Generally cheapest and most satisfactory for smiall shipments and with 

 larger shipments in adjoining and nearby states. 



Strawberry plants packed for shipment weight approximately 4 pounds per 100 

 plants. Make up your order, calculate the approximate weight and if you do not know your 

 zone from Salisbury, Maryland, use distances given here with, or ask your postmaster. 



With the zone rate published here you can easily calculate the amount of postage 

 to send. Be sure to send postage enough. If you should send more than is required, the 

 excess will be returned. 



If suflficient amount to 

 pay parcel post charges is 

 not sent with the order, 

 the plants will be sent by 

 Express collect, or by par- 

 cel post, C. O. D., for the 

 amount of postage due, as 

 we cannot keep accounts 

 and send bills for small 

 items of postage.
