Beginner Makes It Pay Morg-an Co., Ind. Jan. 5, 1939. Last spring we sent you an order for 500 Gem and 500 Mastodon. We sold $29.25 worth of Gems and $17.30 worth of Mastodon. We had quite a lot of dry weather. This is our first experience with the Ever- bearing.—Mr, J. C. Hughes. Allen's Plants Paid! Randolph Co., Mo. April 22, 1939. I feel like writing- you a few words of appreciation and praise of the 200 strawberry plants. Premier, Fairfax, Catskill and Gem. Plants arrived in first class condition, on time. I had very little experience in raising strawberries and I was doubtful if I could grow any at all. I just placed an order in faith in your word, and say! Am I pleased? Ordered 200 plants and now have 200 plants living, just the finest ever, 20 days later.— Mr. W. C. Parsons. Dorsett, Fairfax and Catskill Win Again! Queen Annes Co., Md. April 28, 1939. I had the largest berries in this section last season, 1938. Dorsett, Fairfax and Catskill. I did well ion what berries I sold of these three varieties. Sold on local market for 15^ per box the season through. Had 30 24-quart crates which netted me $105.00—Mr. Casper L. Newcomb. lYz Quarts Per Plant—Excellent! Somerset Co., N. J. April 24, 1939. I bought 100 plants of you two years ago and last year picked 147 quarts.—Mr. W. Walter French. Fine Yield—Premium Price! Berks Co., Pa. March 1939. The 100 Dorsett and 100 Catskill I bought in the spring of 1937 turned out wonderful. I picked 185 quarts of berries last spring, receiving 250 per quart for most of them and not less than 15^ for the rest, which is wonderful for this section.—Mr. Milton M. Ochs. Always Safe With Premier Roanoke Co., Va. March 23, 1939. Strawberry plants arrived in g-ood shape. I am very much pleased with them and have had g-ood luck with the other plants that I got from you. I have better luck with the Premier than any other kind of berry I have tried. It is the best market berry.—Mr. F. P. Duvall.
