well cleaned plants, bunched evenly, with roots straightened, make setting 

 easier, quicker and better. 



4. Plants should be selected and any weak, poorly rooted ones discarded. 

 There should be full count of good plants. 



5. Proper packing — with roots in layers of moist sphagnum moss and the 

 tops to the outside of the crate, with bunches firm enough to prevent shaking 

 around but not tight enough to cause heating. Plants should be packed to reach 

 you in good growing condition — fresh and moist — but not rotten nor dried up. 



6. Plants to be of greatest value should reach you when you want them 

 and not after your best planting season has passed. Prompt shipment from 

 freshly dug plants. 



A falling down in any one of these things would detract from the value 

 of the plants and an assurance that they are done properly maintains to the 

 utmost their capacity for getting results. 



It is on the dependable quality of our plants for producing results that 

 we base our request for your orders.

 They arrived in fine condition. I find Allen's Plants True-to-Name and easy to get started as 

 they have fine roots and are carefully handled. — B. B. BAUSERMAN. 



No Mistake in Using Allen's WelUcleaned Plants 



Hamilton Co., Ohio, Feb. 13, 1929. — I made a mistake last year by buying plants from some- 

 one else. His plants were dirty old leaves, old runners and what not. Hope your plants are as 

 clean as in 1927. From now on I will get my plants from Allen's and not from pretty pictures. 

 Enclosed find order for 1,000 Premier and 2,500 Orem.— OSCAR DEISS.

 on through. I have bought plants from a dozen different nurseries, but vour plants beat them 

 all.— J. E. FRALICK. 



Convinced by Actual Trial— Allen's Plants Best 



Cayuga Co., N. Y., April 29, 1929. — Enclosed herewith our order for this season and am 

 placing our order with my old standby, the W. F. Allen Co., as we have for a number of years. 

 Last year I tried another plant company with the thought that it might be an advantage due 

 to climatic conditions, also an order with you at the same time. Other company well spoken of 

 and considered a good concern, but my experience of setting side by side has convinced me and 

 am giving you my full order this spring. Am sorry I am so late on placing order this year, but 

 have had very backward, wet season here and have been uncertain what to do, but am placing 

 this small order this season and contemplate going in heavier next year. I consider from past 

 experience with you that I can place confidence in you for care and attention to aU orders placed. — 

 JAMES KERNS. 



Freshest, Nicest, Thriftiest Plants. 



Delaware Co., N. Y., April 27, 1929. — We received those strawberry plants about a week 

 ago. They were the freshest, nicest, thriftiest looking plants we have ever received from any 

 house, and we thank you. — S. E. WOOD.

 must say it is a pleasure to me that I can deal with a company like the W. F. Allen Co. I cer- 

 tainly appreciate your service and sincere consideration. — GEORGE WASHWAY. 



Perfect Satisfaction — Every Plant Lives. 



Chenango Co., N. Y., April 23, 1929. — After having used your plants for three years I find 

 that they give perfect satisfaction. Every plant lives. We find that other berry growers who 

 do not order from your company do not have these satisfactory results. I regret that my order 

 did not get in before but am trusting that you will have the plants I have ordered. — FRED 

 CHESEBRO.
