Never Found Any Better Than 

 Premier. 



Cattaraugus Co., New York 

 The Premiers I purchased in 

 1922, of which there were 250, all 

 lived but 2 or 3 plants, despite a 

 cold, dry spell just after setting. 

 There may be better berries, but I 

 have never faund them yet. 



Mr. J. V. Hills. 



Big Joe- -A proven money maker 



Just before your wonderful crop of Premier berries is finished, Big Joe 

 starts ripening. These berries will surprise you. Extra large in size. Hand- 

 some in appearance. Excellent in quality. You will like to eat them. You 

 will delight in selling them. Like Premier they are adapted to any soil or 

 climate. 



Big Joe is also included in our special offers. 



Jack Dempsey of the Strawberry 

 Patch. 



St. Lousis Co., Mo., Feb. 19, 1924 

 Premier is by far the best 

 berry that I can grow, and all 

 that you say of Premier is right. 

 I think it the "Jack Dempsey" 

 of the strawberry patch. I am 

 anxious to see what Chesapeake 

 will do, for the plant itself is 

 just grand. Will recommend 

 your services to any wanting 

 good plants.

Has Never Found Their Equal 



Suffolk Co., New York, January 7, 1924. 

 I have bought plants from you for several years and have found 

 them better than any I have bought elsewhere. Two years ago, I 

 bought Premier and found them to be all that you recommended them 

 to be. In fact, I have never found their equal, and have grown straw- 

 berries for twenty years. Last year was a very dry one in this sec- 

 tion. I had three rows of Premier across my garden, and seven rows 

 of Dr. Burrill and William Belt, all growing side by side. From the 

 three rows of Premier, I picked more than four times as many ber- 

 ries as from the other seven rows. This year I shall have no other.

Premier At the Rate of 10,000 Quarts Per Acre 



Buncombe Co., N. C, March 7, 1924. 

 I was well pleased with the strawberry plants I received from you 

 two years ago. I ordered 2500 plants, 1000 of which were Premier. I 

 sold besides my home use 130 bushels, two-thirds of this amount came 

 from the thousand Premiers, and several bushels rotted by wet weather. 

 I received from you last spring a thousand Premier which were fine, 

 and in very good condition. H. M. Morgan. 



Cumberland Co., Me., July 17, 1924. 

 This is a letter from a much pleased customer who'shakes hand 

 across the way. A year ago I bought 1000 Premier strawberry plants 

 from you and this year have gained the name of raising the best ber- 

 ries and the biggest crop for the size of patch of anyone in this vicin- 

 ity. Is it any wonder I am pleased ? On a little less than an eighth 

 of an acre I raised 1200 quarts of lovely berries — berries that have 

 gained a name for themselves. Bertha O. Coffin. 



Premier a Joy to Their Household 

 T , ,„„■„_ Montgomery Co., Md., February 4, 1924. 



I planted 300 Berry plants which I purchased from you in the 

 fcpring of 1922. The Premiers are perfect gems. I was delighted 

 with them, for they produced like Jim Henry, were extremely early 

 and of big marketable size. They were a joy to our household, together 

 with a few neighbors who shared them with us. G. Edward Schultz 



Berks Co., Pa., June 28, 1924. 

 Strawberry plants that you shipped us April 

 a year ago are doing very good. I have the 

 largest berries in this section. The Premier is 

 a wonderful berry, Big Joe and Chesapeake are 

 very big and good yielders. We are all very 

 well pleased with our plants and are doing good 

 considering the cold weather when plants were 

 received by me they were frozen cold in the 

 crate and not one died.

Chesapeake- -outsells them all 



Quart for quart, Chesapeake will outsell any strawberry ever put on the market. 



The berries are simply wonders. They are very large and hold their size well 

 throughout the season. They are uniform in shape, a bright rich red throughout. 



Chesapeake berries are unsurpassed in quality. 

 They will outsell them all. They will outship 

 any other large berry on the market. The plants 

 blossom late and escape late frosts. 



For home use, local market, or shipping, the 

 Chesapeake is supreme as a late berry. You will 

 be repaid many times for planting and culti- 

 vating Chesapeakes. 



A Field of Strawberries Grown From Allen's Plants 



D. C, June 7, 1924. 

 I am now harvesting Premier strawberries from the couple of 

 thousand plants bought from you in the spring of 1923. They are 

 bringing the top price in the Washington market, and are creating a 

 sensation in the neighboraood where they are grown, which is in Prince 

 George Co., Md., just outside the District of Columbia. A neighbor 

 who bought his plants from Michigan at a fancy price said yesterday. 

 "I thought I had some fine strawberries, but yours beat any I ever 

 saw." The fancy ones run about 20 to the quart, and the average 

 about 40 to 45. I have several acres of the finest black woods mold soil, 

 and am getting lots of it ready for Allen berries, which have fully jus- 

 tified the advice given me by a pomological expert in the Department 

 of Agriculture. "Allen, of Salisbury, is a good strawberry man. and 

 you can trust him.
