sturdy plants for your Dorsett orders Ifeau o^ Satisfaction ^unifif Confidence 50th Year—Always True-to-name Tucker Co., W. Va. I am glad to still be with you. This is the fiftieth year since I bought my first plants of you. I have always found your plants true to name. I have tried more than fifty varieties that you have sent out, a good many not adapted to our climate and soil. May you be spared for many years to carry on your work of disseminating good plants of good varieties. Very best wishes for your success.— John A. H. Swisher. Many Years and Always Just Fine Montgomery Co., Md. February 25, 1939. I have bought strawberry plants from you for many years, but never such a small order as this year, but I am 83 years old and must taper off. Your plants have always been just fine.—Mr. F. F. Weston. Perfect Satisfaction for years Montcalm Co., Mich. March 3, 1939. I am sending you a small order for strawberry plants. Wish it were larger, but I am nearing my 85th birthday and not able to do so much as I used to do. But in my 60 years of growing straw- berries, your plants have given me perfect satis- faction which would not be true of any others. I will continue to speak a good word for you.— Mr. Frank Fishell. Did You Know? T\ID you know that The W. F. Allen Company is the only one of the dozen largest plant firms in the United States that offer strawberry plants only in their catalog? We are real specialists. We ought to handle this one product a little better than those who try to handle so many different things. We DO! Let us have your order and we will prove it. 35 Years Missoula Co., Mont. March 10, 1939. I am back again for more of your Premier plants. Your plants have always been very good. I have been buying from you for the last thirty five years.—Mr. J. C. Sain. Appreciates Fine Treatment Mercer Co., N. J. May 9th, 1939. The plants came yesterday and were in very fine condition. I surely do appreciate the fine treatment which you accorded me. I hope that I may have the good luck with them that I have had in the past which I will say has been very gratifying ever since I have been using Allen's plants. It is a pleasure to do business with a firm that will treat its customers in the manner which you do. I will always be an Allen Booster. Thank you for the fine courtesy shown me. Here is to Allen's True to Name plants!—Mr. H. Raymond Dye. Buying- Allen's Plants Since 1005 Sullivan Co., N. Y. March 25, 1939.
