In another line of business, this 57 would most likely refer to varieties 
of a specialized product. 
Service.

With us, this same 57 means Years of 
More exactly we might say Years of Learning. W. F. 
Allen started his business knowing much about strawberries. For 
fifty-seven years we have been adding to that knowledge. We 
have cooperated with the Departments of Agriculture in this country to have 
the best in varieties. We have selected planting stock and prepared land to grow 
it best. We believe we have learned how to do this BETTER for these 57 years. 
WE KNOW ALLEN’S PLANTS WILL PAY YOU. TRY THEM AND SEE! 
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. 
True to Name. Careful handling, knowledge 
of varieties, and rogueing if necessary, enable 
us to send you the kind you want and pay for. 
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. Most likely 
plants grown in a very dry year like 1941 will not 
be quite as pretty to look at as usual. However, 
they will be plants that have proved their ability 
to “take it.’ They will live and grow and bear. 
4 Careful handling keeps plants from exposure 
to sun and wind and thus they retain a full 
measure of vitality and “pep.” 
Clean and straight. Plants with dead leaves 
and runners removed, bunched evenly with, 
roots straightened makes setting easier, quicker 
and better. 
Proper packing enables the plants to reach 
you in good growing condition, fresh and moist. 
Promptness. Plants are usually shipped with- 
in a day or two of date specified, although bad 
weather may occasionally hold up shipments for 
a few days. 
Good stock is the foundation of success, and that is why we 
urge you to start on a sure foundation with ALLEN’S PLANTS. 
Lackawanna Co., Pa., July 16, 1941. 
I want to write and tell you that I am very proud of the 

strawberry plants I received of you in 1940. This year I received, out of 400 Premier plants, 219 quarts 
of berries. Every one went to market and were very nice. Will order morein 1942.—Cora E. Van Duzer. 
Caledonia Co., Vt., May 1, 1941. The strawberry plants arrived April 29th. They were Number 
1 plants. I am well pleased with them. If I ever want any more I will send to your company 
for them and tell my friends and neighbors. Everyone says our berries are the best ever. Thanks 
for the way you ship them.—Mr. Harris Lund. 
Logan Co., Ohio, February 7, 1941. Please quote us prices on 10,000 Dorsett and 4,000 Catskill 
plants, f.0.b. Salisbury. We have bought your plants and are very well satisfied with them.—C. R. 
Tanger & Sons. 
Dyer Co., Tenn., February 18, 1941. Inclosed you will find order for some Mastodon strawberry 
plants. Will say I have grown your plants for about 30 years. I can say your plants have been the 
best I have ever tried. One Big Joe measured 644 inches. I have grown strawberries for 50 years.— 
Mr. James O. White.
