Colossus. Bound to please all 
Wm. Belt. There are few lovers of Straw¬ 
berries that would riot cross a plot and pick out 
the. Belt: -as the best flavored. It is the 
standard for quality the country over. The de¬ 
mand for this variety has been much greater for 
the past few years, and we frequently dispose of 
every plant that we have, and sometimes do not 
have enough. A Washington grower says: “The 
William Belt and Chesapeake for flavor and good 
eating are dandies. I am going to run all my patch 
to these two kinds. They stood the drought best 
and are in good shape now.” Notwithstanding 
the William Belt is somewhat subject to rust, its 
popularity seems to increase right along, owing, 
no doubt, to its exceptionally good qualities. I 
find, however, that it does not rust so badly now as 
it did a few years ago, and there are few amateur 
This is how my plants are shipped 
growers who do not include this in their collection. 
For fancy market and the home table it is indis¬ 
pensable. I know of nothing that approaches it 
in quality except Chesapeake. 
Knows Where to Order Again 
The Strawberry plants ordered of you arrived in 
excellent condition. They are, in fact, the best-looking 
plants I ever received, and I have had many orders 
filled by other firms in the past. We are busy setting 
them out and confidently expect a good yield from 
them. I am very grateful for your promptness and 
shall know where to place future orders.— Frank W. 
Gibson, Cumberland Co., Maine. 
The Strawberry Plants Are All Right 
The Strawberry plants you sent me are all right and 
in good order. I thank you for early shipment.—J. R. 
Wolfe, Lebanon Co.. Pa., April 22, 1911. 
Ekey. I am favorably impressed with this variety 
Never Received Better Plants 
Received plants yesterday in fine condition and am 
very much pleased with same. They are the finest 
plants, on the whole, that lever received. I thank you 
very much for promptness, and when I need more 
plants will write you.— W. A. Case, Sullivan Co., 
N. Y., April 26, 1911. 
Packing Not Excelled 
The plants came in perfect condition, as “Allen’s 
plants” have always come to me, and I set them same 
day, and they are growing well with not a missing hill 
so far. Your manner of packing for shipment excels 
anything I know. Thank you very much for your 
kindness.—F. L. Smith. 
Grape-Vines Sent to Florida 
Grape-vines received in good order for being shipped 
so far. I thank you very much for careful packing. I 
hope I can place more orders with you. — L, U. Nagle, 
Putman Co., Fla.
