The Winning Plants— ALLEN'S 



The winning ways of Allen's plants are 

 made possible by the planting stocks used 

 and the treatment they receive. Results 

 justify their use by you. 



PLANTING STOCK: We use the strongest, 

 best rooted, most vigorous, true-to-name 

 planting stock of each variety, with virus 

 free plants of all varieties where such plants 

 are available. 



TREATMENT: 



1. All our fields, in addition to being fer- 

 tile and well drained, are fumigated before 

 setting to eliminate or reduce nematodes 

 which have been recognized as a serious 

 factor in preventing the biggest possible 

 crops. 



2. A ton per acre of high grade fertilizer 

 containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potas- 

 sium is used during the growing season. 



3. 100 lbs. of minor elements are added 

 with each ton of fertilizer, including boron. 



manganese, copper, magnesium and zinc. 

 If any plant or any variety needs one bite 

 of one of these minor elements for maxi- 

 mum strength and vigor it is there to be 

 used. 



4, 10 lbs. of chlorodane per acre are 

 spread with the fertilizer. This is to kill 

 aphis, ants, cut worms and other pests 

 which might destroy or weaken some of 

 the plants. 



5. After the plants have started growth, in 

 addition to good cultural practices, they 

 receive ten or more dustings per acre with 

 parathion dust to eliminate insect enemies 

 like aphis, red mite, etc., and particularly 

 the aphid which carries the virus organism. 

 Virus free stock is kept virus free for you 

 at ALLEN'S. 



RESULTS: Wonderful beds of plants of all 

 varieties in spite of a hot, dry season. 

 Results justify you in depending on 

 Allen's plants for your own setting.
