Let others tell the story. 
Michigan 
Saint Clair Co., Mich. January 12, 1939. I am 
writing to know if you have Premier plants. The 
last ones I got from you were wonderful.—Mrs. 
Lottie Ferguson. 
Pennsylvania 
York Co., Pa. January 16, 1939. Please give me 
delivered prices on inclosed varieties. I planted three 
or four hundred plants two years ago. Had a very 
large crop last summer. Was very much pleased with 
them.—Mr. Elmer H. Blessing. 
West Virginia 
Cabell Co., W. Va. May 4th, 1939. My shipment 
of strawberry plants was received on April 16th in 
very excellent condition, exactly as ordered, and I 
must say they were the finest plants of this kind I 
ever saw. Due to unfavorable weather I was unable 
to have them set out until April 20th, keeping them 
well watered and in a cool place in the meantime. I 
went over the entire plot yesterday and only find four 
that are not living and thriving beautifully. I con¬ 
sider this a good record and a splendid tribute to the 
care you give to not only supplying nice plants, but 
the packing and crating of them also.—Mr. J. B. 
Plunkett. 
New Jersey 
Mercer Co., N. J. June 4, 1939. Early last spring 
I got from you 50 Fairfax strawbery plants for a 
small home garden. This spring they bloomed 
abundantly and had a fair crop of the largest best 
flavored berries I ever saw. There would have been 
a good many more had we had more rain.—Mrs. 
Chester Smith. 
Illinois 
Fulton Co., Ill. March 12, 1939. Had a wonderful 
crop of berries from your plants set in 1937. I just 
can’t say too much about your plants.—Millstone 
Camp (W. F. Grollwitz) 
Maine 
Hancock Co., Maine. May 1st, 1939. The plants 
I got from The W. F. Allen Company a year ago 
were the best I ever had in ten years of growing them. 
They were so quick to start a vigorous growth after 
planting and grew into such large strong plants in a 
few weeks time. They were sure good to look at and 
they sure like our state of Maine climate.—Mr. G. P‘ 
Thompson.
