10 THE W. F. ALLEN CO., SALISBURY, MD. 



5. Hardiness. Our plants are hardy anywhere in the 

 United States or Canada, wherever strawberries are 

 grown. We know this because our plants have given 

 and are giving excellent results in the most northern 

 berry growing regions. 



6. True-to-Name. Characteristic of all Allen's plants 

 — we exercise greatest care in keeping plants straight 

 when planting. All our plants are labeled in the field 

 when dug and the label is never taken away until they 

 are in the fields or gardens of our customers. All plants 

 when dug are tied in bunches of 25 each and every 

 bunch labeled. 



7. Packing System. Our plants are dug fresh for 

 shipment each day. As stated before, the roots of all 

 our plants are moistened before packing. They are 

 packed in light, strong crates. The tops of plants are 

 packed outside to give air and prevent possible heat- 

 ing. The roots inside are well packed with light, moist 

 sphagnum moss, to keep the roots and plants fresh and 

 moist. 



8. Service. After all, the thing that makes a suc- 

 cessful business is plenty of satisfied customers. By 

 good service we mean supply the best of plants, such 

 as we have just been describing. But, more than this, 

 we mean also, courteous treatment, fair dealing, prompt- 

 ness, and a willingness and desire to help in any way 

 we can. These things go to make good plants and get 

 them to you in good condition. That's why we feel 

 justified in asking for your order. May we have it? 



PERFECT STAND 



Burlington Co., N. J.. April 5, 1919. 

 I certainly am pleased with the 1000 Orem. 1000 Kel- 

 logg's Prize, and the Progressive Everbearing straw- 

 berry plants I got from you. They have been set about a 

 week and you can hardly tell they were transplanted. 

 They look fine and will be a perfect stand. You certainly 

 ship plants promptly and in good shape. Enclosed find 

 order for 1000 more Orem plants. I wish you success. — 

 Charles T. Pearson. 



HE LIKES OUR PLANTS 



York Co., Maine, July 5, 1919. 

 I wish to thank you for the fine plants you shipped to 

 Edwin R. Boston in order 1525. He gave me a bunch of 

 them and I have them with plants from seven different 

 places. I will say that I wish you people had the money 

 I spent for strawberry plants this spring and I had your 

 plants. — W. P. Batchelder. 



BEST HE CAN GET 



Morgan Co., Ohio, May 16, 1919. 

 Plants received. I must say that we very much appre- 

 ciate your square dealing and honest count. You will 

 doubtless hear from us again as we can get no such fine 

 plants elsewhere as you have sent us in the past. — E. P. 

 Worrall. 



GOOD PLANTS PROMPTLY 



Clark Co., Ohio, March 21, 1919. 

 Received the strawberry plants today in good condi- 

 tion. I want to thank you for being so prompt by having 

 them here when I wanted them. If the berries are as 

 good as the plants look you will find me calling for more. 

 Thanking you for your prompt service. — Clem T. Smeltzer. 



WILL NOT LOSE ONE 



St. Louis, Mo., May 1, 1919. 

 The plants were received in good shape and are all in 

 the ground. I do not think we will lose one. Thanking 

 you, I remain, R. C. Houck. 



Chesterfield Co.. Virginia, March 31, 1919. 

 I have tr'ed a great many strawberries but none have 

 ever approached Amanda in size productiveness. And no 

 one that I know can excell you In either plants or pack- 

 ing. — Fred Harvey.
