No Foolin Folks! 
In all our 52 years of service to our friends 
and customers we have never seen such shortages, 
especially in our nursery department. This 
means that you should order your seeds and 
nursery stock earlier than ever before. We want 
to take care of all of our old friends and cus- 
tomers and the only way we can do it is to have 
the orders early enough to give us time to put 
them up. We need more time because not only 
is the stock short, but we do not have enough 
help to render our customary prompt service. 
We feel sure you will help us by sending your 
order at once. 
The House of Allen has always offered high- 
grade seeds and nursery stock at the lowest pos- 
sible prices. This is our 52nd year, and our prices 
are just as low as we can possibly make them 
under existing circumstances. The cost of grow- 
ing nursery stock is higher this year than ever 
before, but to off-set this the correspondingly 
higher prices of produce and fruit more than 
justify the increased cost of seeds and nursery 
stock. You can still make a big profit by planting 
Allen’s high-grade seeds and nursery stock.
