ALLEN'S PLANTS PAY aL^'ensrbVe t^wi^^^^^^^ 



J-m^lnBal^ ^# ■ KhJ-^I^ B ^^F ■ F^ ■ ^^^^ It is only human 



to want the best at the 

 lowest possible price. In our 56 years of experience we have learned to gi'ow and ship the finest 

 strawberry plants. We offer these at prices which we think fair and reasonable. We know that 

 good stock is the foundation of success, and that is why we urge you to start on a sure foundation 

 with Allen's Plants. The quantity and quality of the berries, the profit or loss on the market all 

 refiect back to the plants from wliich they were produced. For over half a century Aliens have 

 been able to say with complete confidence, "Buy Allen's Plants. They will pay you." 



1. Allen's Plants are well grown. Produced 

 in good, well drained sandy loam soil, the plants 

 can be removed with a minimum of injury to 

 the roots. It is almost impossible to get plants 

 up with satisfactory roots from heavy clay soils, 

 especially if it is dry. 



2. True to Name. Careful handling, knowl- 

 edge of varieties, and rogneing if necessary, 

 enable us to send you the kind you want and 

 pay for. 



3. Full comit of good plants is assured by our 

 system of grading out weak, poorly developed 

 ones. Not all varieties make large plants, but 

 each will be a good plant of the variety. 



4. Careful handling keeps plants from ex- 

 posure to sun and wind and thus they retain a 

 full measure of vitality and "pep." 



5. Clean and straight. Plants with dead leaves 

 and runners removed, bunched evenly with roots 

 straightened makes setting easier, quicker and 

 better. 



6. Proper packing enables the plants to reach 

 you in good growing condition, fresh and moist, 

 but not rotten nor dried up. 



7. Promptness. Plants are usually shipped 

 within a day or two of date specified, although 

 bad weather may occasionally hold up shipments 

 for a few days. 



8. Prices for Allen's plants are low enough so 

 that no one, even the most economical, need take 

 a chance on plants of less certain quality. They 

 are high enough to insure a grade of plants to 

 satisfy the most particular. They will live and 

 grow and bear fine crops.
