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 t e 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 mois¬ 
tened before packing. They are packed in light, strong crates. 
The tops of plants are packed outside to give air and prevent 
possible heating. 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 successful 
business is plenty of satisfied customers. By good service we 
mean supply the best of plants, such as we have just been de¬ 
scribing. But, more than this, we mean also, courteous treat¬ 
ment, fair dealing, promptness, and a williugness 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 jus¬ 
tified in asking for your order. May we have it? 
By far the Best. 
Mobile County, Ala., January 1, 1920. 
Please send me your 1920 catalog, as I want 2,500 strawberry plants. 1 
have bought plants from all the big plant companies, but your plants are by 
far the best.

As Usual. 
Suffolk County; L. I., April 19, 1920. 
As usual berry plants delivered on time and in A No. 1 condition. There 
may be an equal to the Allen family, but I do not think any one can surpass 
them. If they did there would be no use, as once an Allen customer, they 
still hang on.
