Tlie plants reached me in as nearly perfect condition as any I have ever received in the more than fifty years I have been eng-aged in growing berries and berry plants.—Mr. E. L. Pollard. Strong- Roots a Big Help in Bad Weather Cherokee Co., Ala., January 11, 1940. The 500 plants I ordered from you last spring grew excellent, despite the dry weather of last fall. They have a wonderful root system. I am very much pleased with them.—Mr. Loyd Singleton. Not One Failed to Gro-\v Fountain Co., Indiana, May 1, 1940. I received my 2,000 strawberry plants and will say I never bought as fine plants in any of my orders before. I never lost a plant out of the 2,000. I have cul- tivated them twice. Do not fail to send me a Book of Berries for 1941.—Mr. Austin Livengood. Thank You, Mrs. Applegate Mason City, Ky., Mar. 25, 1940. I am sending you a small order for strawberry plants. Your plants are superior to any I have ever seen. I think you will receive orders from this vicinity from persons whom I have recommended your superior plants and dependable way of handling orders. Please send my plants around the first of April. Many thanks.—Mrs. Emma C. Apple- gate. Good Plants Properly Packed Will Live and Grow Jackson Co., Mo., April 1, 1940. I received my strawberry plants last Thursday, just six days from the day I ordered. Good service, fine. I thank you. The plants were perfect and the moss was plenty damp. The plants looked like they were growing. I planted them immediately and they are doing- fine.—Mr. Arthur Ham. Allen's Plants Speak for^ Themselves Sussex Co., N. J., Apr. 26, 1940. Replying to yours of the 23rd, the strawberry plants came safely to hand. I was utterly amazed at the speed with which you filled the order. The plants were here within seventy-two hours after I had mailed my last letter to you. And the condition of the plants! They looked as fresh as if they had just come out of the ground. Evidently you people are not only experts in growing- but in shipping live plants. As they stand in the ground now, I think they would say "Allen grew us, shipped us and we were set in so quickly that we have never stopped growing at all."—Mr. Truman Kilborne. 100% Stand Suffolk Co., N. Y., July 1, 1940. I have had good luck with your 2500 Mastodon and 2500 Gem. Haven't lost one. There are plenty of runners.—Mr. William Anderson. They are Good in All the States Dakota Co., Nebr., April 3, 1940. Last year I ordered 5,000 Premier plants from you and I am telling the world that they are the best plants that have been transplanted in the state of Nebraska. I am sending an order today.—Mr. Roy R. McKinley. Good Plants Produce. Good Berries Sell York Co., Pa., June 19, 1940. Out of 2100 plants I got from you last year 2100 grew and I just can't see how they could get so full and big and nice. My berries started to ripen just ahead of any others in this section so you know what that meant to me, higher prices! I used Allen's plants and gave them careful attention. I had the cover worn off the Berry Book reading the instructions and I know it paid me. The towns were fiooded with berries but I kept right on selling those nice big red Premiers. I had to turn away orders for berries. I have a thirteen acre truck farm here along the hard road and they just kept stopping for berries every day and are still asking for them. Whenever it is plants for me it is Allen's. I will try to advertise your plants all I can.—Mr. Russell Alban. Always Dependable Roanoke Co., Va., Feb. 16, 1940. Check enclosed to cover order. The plants you sent last year at this time were lovely as have been all the others I've ordered from you. Ordering new plants from you each year is an established custom with us and we are always glad to recommend your plants for we know what they are and how they will produce.—Mrs. Frank Petticrew. Wants Allen's Plants from Noav On Washington Co., Md., April 12, 1940. I would like to have 500 Fairfax and 500 Chesapeake as soon as possible. I received 1500 you sent me a few days ago and am well pleased with them. I received 350 Fairfax plants from you in 1938 and I had the most beautiful and largest berries ever raised in this section last spring. Picked more than 350 quarts from them. I didn't have much time to cultivate them and from middle summer on the weeds grew so high and thick I was sure they were smothered out. They sure can take punishment and still produce big crops. Thanking you for such good plants. You can be sure I will order my plants from you from now on.—Mr. Edgar C. Jones.
