ALLEN'S PLANTS PAY! The rewards you will get from your time, thought, money and effort in growing straw- berries in the home garden or commercially will depend on what you can get the plants to do. It is obvious that the best plants you can get are the ones you should use. We honestly believe that Allen's strawberry plants are the best plants you can get, because we have long years of experience in growing and producing good plants and because we are the only fairly large nursery in the country growing and selling no other nursery crop except strawberry plants. We should do this one thing better than those who grow and sell a large number of products. We are positive you will find on the average no plants superior to Allen's plants, few if any equal to them. Allen's plants are well grown, heavily rooted, healthy, true-to-name, robust, full of vigor, and well packed to reach you with their great vitality unimpaired, ready for quick starting, rapid growth and full production. PENNA. "All your plants have been of the highest quality. I have recommended your plants to my friends and they too have been well satisfied. They will be steady customers too." K. Britton, Erie Co., Feb. 20, 1948. IND. "The order of strawberry plants arrived on the 19th and were set yesterday. We were proud of the nice plants and not a one was even wilted. We are looking forward to enjoying the fruit another season. Thanks for the prompt service." /. E. Turpin, Madison Co., April 21, 1948. MASS. "Plants that bore last year were magnificent. Wish I'd had a color film to take a few pictures as I'm sure they excelled the ones in the catalogue!" Mrs. Gerald Wheeler. Berkshire Co., May 26, 1948. NEW YORK. "The 5,000 strawberry plants arrived in perfect condition and I want to take the oppor- tunity of telling you how pleased we were with them. I've never seen nursery plants of any better quality or condition than you shipped to us this year. From now on we will buy our plants from Aliens." W. L. Dinsmore, Essex Co., Apr. 24, 1948. OHIO. "I have over 1,000 strawberry plants that I bought this spring. I did not lose one single plant." Harold Walter, Cuyahoga Co., Aug. 5, 1948. VIRGINIA. "Please advise if you can ship me 100 strawberry plants, 50 Premier and 50 Fairfax. Plants bought of you have always been satisfactory. I hate to buy elsewhere." Mrs. Wiley M. Cecil, Henrico Co., Apr. 13, 1948.
