ALLEN'S PLANTS U/iUPatfl/ou 



BECAUSE they will live and grow and thrive and bear fine crops of Big 

 Beautiful Berries. Behind every order for Allen's Plants is 55 years' 

 experience in growing and selling fine strawberry plants. This insures not only 

 all the fine things mentioned below, which any good plants must have, but also 

 that extra something which is a real part of the best of any product. 



1. Allen's Plants are well growTi. 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 rogueing if necessary, 

 enable us to send you the kind you want and 

 pay for. 



3. Full count 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.
