TRUE-TO-NAME STRAWBERRY PLANTS

READ THIS; THEN SEND YOUR ORDER 
TO THE ALLEN CO. 
In regard to your letter, asking about the 
Strawberry plants purchased of you last spring, 
would say that I followed your directions to 
growers in the extreme North to the letter. 
The plants were received April 6, heeled in, and 
covered with straw. May 4, we set 
them all in the field'. They had formed 
an entire new root-system, just a 
bunch of new white roots. They grew 
from the start. Out of 
the 3,500 plants all I 
lost was sixteen. I have 
one of the best beds I 
have ever had, the 
ground j ust covered 
with plants. Would say 
that Premier is my next 
berry to try, but I am going 
to let you fruit it a year and 
have it get your endorsement 
before I purchase any plants. 
The word of W. F. Allen & 
Co. goes with me every time.

A CUSTOMER FOR 20 YEARS 
The plants I received last year came in fine condition and they are 
all growing fine. I can recommend your plants to any one, as I think I 
got my first plants from you over 
twenty years ago.—S. D. Cox, Stod¬ 
dard County, Mo., Feb. 29, 1916. 
THE TALK OF 
THE TOWN 
The plants I got 
of you last spring 
could not have done 
better than they 
did. Nearly everything lived 
and made a fine growth and my 
Strawberry patch is the talk of the town. 
My Progressive plants bore until freezing 
weather.— Ira R. Simmons, Lawrence 
County, Tenn., January 17, 1916. 
The old reliable Gandy 
Very Late Strawberries 
Probably no higher compliment could be paid to 
- - this variety than the fact that all other late varieties 
are compared with it. For best results it should be planted in black 
swampy land or, if this is not possible, in springy land with some 
clay in its makeup, but Gandy never should be planted on dry sandy 
land. It is a reliable old standby and a great favorite in the market. 
Gandy makes a vigorous healthy growth and, if planted in soil as 
recommended above, it will produce a good crop of large, uniform, 
highly colored, firm berries that will bring top prices in any market. 
We have known of the Gandy being shipped 200 or 300 miles and 
still taking precedence over fancy local berries. The perfect shape 
of the berries and the large bright green cap make the berries very 
beautiful and attractive. Its great shipping qualities enable it to 
hold this beauty and attractiveness until it gets to market. Gandy 
is so universally known and admired that it needs no great recom¬ 
mendation. Price, $3.50 per 1,000. 
KELLOGG’S PRIZE. 
are rich crimson with a glossy surface and with a firm texture that 
makes them unsurpassed as a shipper. The cap is light green and 
remains fresh and bright colored for several days after the berries
