Te. Our Customers 
Those of you who have been dealing with Allen’s 
Nurseries and Seed House for many of our fifty-seven 
years need no assurance of our reliability. Through 
the years we have set up and maintained a very high 
standard both as to the quality of the seeds and 
nursery stock we sell and the service that we offer. 
We value very highly the friends and customers whom 
we have served in the past, and are eager to make 
the acquaintance of the many home owners who are 
now able and anxious to improve their grounds. 
In these pages you will find the best of the old 
varieties of fruits, shrubs, flowers and vegetables, as 
well as the new ones coming on the market. All are 
grown on our own farms or under our direct super- 
vision. You take no chance when you order from 
Allen’s. 
The high cost of living is incentive enough for 
vegetable gardening on either a small or large scale. 
If you grow for your own consumption, you will be 
able to feed your family nutritious, fresh vegetables 
for much less than if you have to buy them, If you 
are a commercial grower, you now have an opportunity 
to realize very profitable returns for farm crops, Plant 
Allen’s top-grade seeds and nursery stock and you 
have made a good start toward suecessful gardening 
in 1950.

HAS STRONGER ROOTS—GROWS 
QUICKER-RESISTS WINTER KILL 
Get more for your money — Buy climatized nursery 
stock. Climatized trees and plants are grown in the 
rich glacial soil of Lake Hrie, long famous as a pro- 
ducer of strong, heavy-rooted plants. Harly Lake Erie 
frosts and severe winters harden the young growth to 
resist winter kill— Save money for you on replace- 
ments. Just before shipping, roots of all dormant stock 
are dipped in new RA-PID-GRO (Page 27). This special 
treatment supplies the necessary plant food for the 
first year. For any region Allen’s Climatized Nursery 
Stock is your best buy. Plant some this year and see 
for yourself.
