29 ALLEN'S PLANTS PAY If every buyer of strawberry plants this year could see our plant fields as this is written (October 1946), we believe we would be completely swamped with orders. They look irresistible. Tall vigorous plants, gleaming with health! Leaves so green on dark-foliage varieties that they are almost black! Growth so robust that some individual leaves measure four inches across! WUif one. /IIUhX fdcudd, 6jo. ^idl 0/ U^ cund odicdUif? 1. They are grown on some of the strongest, most fertile soil we have ever farmed. 2. They have lacked for nothing in the way of plant food, including plenty of organic matter in the soil to provide the best environment for root as well as top growth. 3. Planting stock has been carefully selected for high vigor, and freedom from insects and diseases. 4. A favorable growing season has enabled good plants, good soil and good treatment to really "do their stuff." Result, a plant stock of superlative value. By Careful Handling to keep the plants true-to-name. By Expert Packing to help them retain their vitality for your profit. By Years of Experience (62) to provide the "know-how" all along the line. By Doing This One Thing Better, no other large nursery firm handles Strawberry plants only. IT WILL PAY YOU TO USE ALLEN^S PLANTS
