We the Younger Generation 
have been asked to write this page introducing the 
House of Allen. 
First of all we want to say that we are filled with a 
boundless enthusiasm for this seed and nursery busi¬ 
ness our parents, . and grandparents before them, 
have built up through hard work, honesty and fair 
dealing. * 
For nearly 50 years this has been the code of Allen’s 
Nurseries and Seed House, and we, the third genera¬ 
tion, have pledged ourselves to carry on this policy. 
It has always been a rule that some member of the 
Allen family personally supervise all planting, grow¬ 
ing, propagating, packing and shipping of nursery 
stock. This is done to insure our customer friends 
of stock that is right in every way. 
The Allens are always pleased to have customers 
and friends call at the Nursery to pick out their own 
stock, or just to see how things are coming along. 
Right now things are pretty much upset in all parts 
of the world, but we Allens feel that this is the time 
to take advantage of low prices and plant for the 
future when prices will be high. We have an 
especially fine lot of growing trees and plants and 
you can rest assured that even these troublesome 
times will not interfere with the careful digging 
and packing that the name of Allen has always 
stood for. 
We know our elders join us in writing our last line. 
WE WANT YOU AS OUR FRIENDS AND 
CUSTOMERS. 
5 Reasons Why Allen's Seed & Nursery Stock is Best 
Men of long experience and skill are constantly 
working in our fields planting and propagating 
new and better nursery stock. 
2 Northern Ohio, where the Allen Nurseries are 
located, is an ideal place for the propagation 
of nursery stock. The climatic conditions all 
work to make strong, heavy rooted stock. 
2 Allen’s use all the best modern machinery for 
ALL the steps in their business from planting 
to digging. Plants are dug with care, by ex¬ 
perienced men, not just pulled up by anybody 
who is handy at the moment. 
^ Packing is adequately done so that roots do 
not dry out and are not scarred in shipment.
