THEY SAY 



3,000 Miles in Perfect Condition 



Riverside Co., Calif., April 19, 1940. Tlie plants 

 reached me in as nearly perfect condition as any 

 I have ever received in the more than fifty years 

 I have been eng-aged in growing berries and 

 berry plants. — Mr. E. L. Pollard. 



Strong- Roots a Big Help in Bad Weather 



Cherokee Co., Ala., January 11, 1940. The 500 

 plants I ordered from you last spring grew 

 excellent, despite the dry weather of last fall. 

 They have a wonderful root system. I am very 

 much pleased with them. — Mr. Loyd Singleton. 

 Not One Failed to Gro-\v 



Fountain Co., Indiana, May 1, 1940. I received 

 my 2,000 strawberry plants and will say I never 

 bought as fine plants in any of my orders before. 

 I never lost a plant out of the 2,000. I have cul- 

 tivated them twice. Do not fail to send me a 

 Book of Berries for 1941. — Mr. Austin Livengood. 

 Thank You, Mrs. Applegate 



Mason City, Ky., Mar. 25, 1940. I am sending 

 you a small order for strawberry plants. Your 

 plants are superior to any I have ever seen. I 

 think you will receive orders from this vicinity 

 from persons whom I have recommended your 

 superior plants and dependable way of handling 

 orders. Please send my plants around the first 

 of April. Many thanks. — Mrs. Emma C. Apple- 

 gate. 

 Good Plants Properly Packed Will Live and Grow 



Jackson Co., Mo., April 1, 1940. I received my 

 strawberry plants last Thursday, just six days 

 from the day I ordered. Good service, fine. I 

 thank you. The plants were perfect and the 

 moss was plenty damp. The plants looked like 

 they were growing. I planted them immediately 

 and they are doing- fine. — Mr. Arthur Ham. 

 Allen's Plants Speak for^ Themselves 



Sussex Co., N. J., Apr. 26, 1940. Replying to 

 yours of the 23rd, the strawberry plants came 

 safely to hand. I was utterly amazed at the 

 speed with which you filled the order. The plants 

 were here within seventy-two hours after I had 

 mailed my last letter to you. And the condition 

 of the plants! They looked as fresh as if they 

 had just come out of the ground. Evidently you 

 people are not only experts in growing- but in 

 shipping live plants. As they stand in the ground 

 now, I think they would say "Allen grew us, 

 shipped us and we were set in so quickly that 

 we have never stopped growing at all." — Mr. 

 Truman Kilborne. 



100% Stand 



Suffolk Co., N. Y., July 1, 1940. I have had 

 good luck with your 2500 Mastodon and 2500 

 Gem. Haven't lost one. There are plenty of 

 runners. — Mr. William Anderson. 



They are Good in All the States 



Dakota Co., Nebr., April 3, 1940. Last year I 

 ordered 5,000 Premier plants from you and I am 

 telling the world that they are the best plants 

 that have been transplanted in the state of 

 Nebraska. I am sending an order today. — Mr. 

 Roy R. McKinley. 



Good Plants Produce. Good Berries Sell 



York Co., Pa., June 19, 1940. Out of 2100 plants 

 I got from you last year 2100 grew and I just 

 can't see how they could get so full and big and 

 nice. My berries started to ripen just ahead of 

 any others in this section so you know what 

 that meant to me, higher prices! I used Allen's 

 plants and gave them careful attention. I had 

 the cover worn off the Berry Book reading the 

 instructions and I know it paid me. The towns 

 were fiooded with berries but I kept right on 

 selling those nice big red Premiers. I had to 

 turn away orders for berries. I have a thirteen 

 acre truck farm here along the hard road and 

 they just kept stopping for berries every day 

 and are still asking for them. Whenever it is 

 plants for me it is Allen's. I will try to advertise 

 your plants all I can. — Mr. Russell Alban. 



Always Dependable 



Roanoke Co., Va., Feb. 16, 1940. Check enclosed 

 to cover order. The plants you sent last year at 

 this time were lovely as have been all the others 

 I've ordered from you. Ordering new plants 

 from you each year is an established custom with 

 us and we are always glad to recommend your 

 plants for we know what they are and how 

 they will produce. — Mrs. Frank Petticrew. 



Wants Allen's Plants from Noav On 



Washington Co., Md., April 12, 1940. I would 

 like to have 500 Fairfax and 500 Chesapeake as 

 soon as possible. I received 1500 you sent me a 

 few days ago and am well pleased with them. 

 I received 350 Fairfax plants from you in 1938 

 and I had the most beautiful and largest berries 

 ever raised in this section last spring. Picked 

 more than 350 quarts from them. I didn't have 

 much time to cultivate them and from middle 

 summer on the weeds grew so high and thick 

 I was sure they were smothered out. They sure 

 can take punishment and still produce big crops. 

 Thanking you for such good plants. You can be 

 sure I will order my plants from you from now 

 on. — Mr. Edgar C. Jones.
