A Special 
Alien Assurance 
In order to eliminate every possi¬ 
bility of undesirable trees in our 
growing blocks, we have engaged 
Prof. A. P. French and associates of 
Massachusetts State College to care¬ 
fully 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 exceptionally high 
quality.
