REDSTAR. The Best very late and the latest very good berry 
OLD FRIENDS AND NEW 
For 50 Years a Friend and Customer 
Berkshire Co., Mass., Nov. 12, 1940. I have 
been buying- plants from you for over fifty years 
and expect to come to you again next spring 
for my supply of strawberry plants.—Mr. George 
G. Walker. 
With Us for 45 Years 
Rappahannock Co., Va., Feb. 6, 1940. I have 
been your customer for 45 years. Now I am too 
old to set them out so I am giving you some 
names. I can recommend your berries, the finest 
we have ever grown.—Mrs. J. J. Silvey. 
Booster After 45 Years 
Baltimore Co., Md., March 16, 1 940. I have 
helped to plant and planted for myself plants 
from your firm for over 45 years and to this 
day I am a booster of your stock and treatment. 
I wish you continued success.—Capt. Albert 
Pfeiffer. 
Allen’s Plants Used for 3 Generations 
Windham Co., Vt., Jan. 20, 1940. Your catalog 
just at hand and I hasten to enter my order for 
this year. For nearly 12 years I have had plants 
from you. Two or three times I tried raising 
my own plants but never had the success that 
I do when putting in your plants each year. 
Your plants have always been a “sure crop” for 
me and your concern has been a by-word in my 
family for years. My grandfather was one of 
your first customers from this, vicinity and I 
know others here have ordered from you because 
of his success and good-looking strawberry bed. 
—Mr. Robert G. Pratt. 
Allen’s Plants Are Still Good! 
Cabarrus Co., N. C., Nov. 6, 1939. Inclosed is a 
check for strawberry plants. Wish to say my 
mother, Mrs. J. L. Sifferd, ordered her plants 
from you some 20 or 30 years ago and always 
found them good.—Mrs. Fred Shepherd. 
Made a Profit in First Try 
Lycoming Co., Pa., March 18, 1940. Three years 
ago I sent you an order containing among others 
300 Catskill. I was 17 years old and had never 
grown anything before in my life. I followed 
the instructions in your book and they grew fine 
and healthy. I was more than pleased with the 
results of Catskill. They were so large that we 
were selling them at 250 a quart while along¬ 
side of us others were selling at 100 and 150 
per quart- We had no trouble to sell all of 
them at that premium price. That spring I 
made $56.00 and they only cost me (counting 
everything) about $13.00. I was well pleased 
with those plants and I inclose another larger 
order, confident that I will receive the same high 
quality.—Mr. Robert J. Baier. 
A Rank Amateur Succeeds 
Providence Co., R. I., Aug. 20, 1940. This 
spring I purchased 250 strawberry plants from 
you and they surely have been very satisfactory, 
especially as I am a rank amateur at raising 
strawberries. Among the assortment that I 
purchased were 50 of the Everbearing Gem and 
T am enjoying strawberries right along and 
from the set it looks as if I would enjoy them 
for some time to come.—Mr. Fred G. Clemenci. 
A Beginner Is Successful 
Tucker Co., W. Va., April 20, 1940. I received 
my 400 plants O. K. Didn’t get to set them for 
three days as we were having a rainy spell, but 
was looking at them today. They are starting 
fine. I am very proud of them. Last year was 
my first experience in strawberries. I had a 
fine crop from your Premier. They are looking 
fine this spring. 
First Try—Finest Prospect 
Greene Co., Tenn., Feb. 1, 1940. Last year I 
ordered some 1200 plants from you and want to 
say they were everything you advertised. My 
plants lived well and while this is my first try 
at raising strawberries, I have the finest pros¬ 
pect anyone could wish. I am ordering more.— 
Mr. Jay I. Brooks.
