to want the best at the 
lowest possible price. In our 56 years of experience we have learned to grow and ship the finest 
strawberry plants. We offer these at prices which we think fair and reasonable. We know that 
good stock is the foundation of success, and that is why we urge you to start on a sure foundation 
with Allen’s Plants. The quantity and quality of the berries, the profit or loss on the market all 
reflect back to the plants from which they were produced. For over half a century Allens have 
been able to say with complete confidence, “Buy Allen’s Plants. They will pay you.” 
1. Allen’s Plants are well grown. Produced 
in good, well drained sandy loam soil, the plants 
can be removed with a minimum of injury to 
the roots. It is almost impossible to get plants 
up with satisfactory roots from heavy clay soils, 
especially if it is dry. 
2. True to Name. Careful handling, knowl¬ 
edge of varieties, and rogueing if necessary, 
enable us to send you the kind you want and 
pay for. 
3. Full count of good plants is assured by our 
system of grading out weak, poorly developed 
ones. Not all varieties make large plants, but 
each will be a good plant of the variety. 
4. Careful handling keeps plants from ex¬ 
posure to sun and wind and thus they retain a 
full measure of vitality and “pep.” 
5. Clean and straight. Plants with dead leaves 
and runners removed, bunched evenly with roots 
straightened makes setting easier, quicker and 
better. 
6. Proper packing enables the plants to reach 
you in good growing condition, fresh and moist, 
but not rotten nor dried up. 
7. Promptness. Plants are usually shipped 
within a day or two of date specified, although 
bad weather may occasionally hold up shipments 
for a few days. 
8. Prices for Allen’s plants are low enough so 
that no one, even the most economical, need take 
a chance on plants of less certain quality. They 
are high enough to insure a grade of plants to 
satisfy the most particular. They will live and 
grow and bear fine crops.
