A Special Allen Assurance 
In order to eliminate every possiblity of un¬ 
desirable trees in our growing blocks, we have 
engaged Prof. A. P. French and associates of 
Massachusetts State College to carefully check 
the growing stock of trees and to weed out 
any seedlings or bad trees which may have 
strayed in. These experts make it possible for 
Allen’s to give further assurance that every 
tree sent out will be true-to-name and of ex 
ceptionally high quality.
