20th Century BERRY BOOK 



The Leading AMERICAN 

 PLANT CATALOGUE tells the 

 plain truth about TOWN- 

 SEND'S Thorough-bred pedi- 

 gree plants. Such as I would 

 gladly buy myself were the 

 position of planter and grower 

 reversed. 



My aim is to supply only the 

 quality of plants that I know 

 will prove a success to my cus- 

 tomers. The kind that will 

 please them so well that they 

 will come back with their repeat 

 orders, and bring their friends 



_ with t hem . 



That my business has increased l'i0O0% in the past 

 five years is convincing proof that I have pleased 

 my people. 



While it is not the price that I hold out as an in- 

 ducement to buy my plants. You will And them 

 quoted from J4 to 1/3 less than many large growers 

 ask for plants of a lesser quality. 

 This book fully describes and illustrates the leading 

 varieties such as — JOE JOHNSON, (the best late 

 variety I have ever seen); Townsend's Late, Chesa- 

 peake, Mascot, Candy, Klondyke, Early Ozark, Aroma, 

 Baltimore, Kellogg Prize,, Progressive (ever bear- 

 ing), and over 50 other good varieties. 

 Gives the 20th century method of growing and caring 

 for them. Tells why certain varieties soon run down 

 and how they may be built up; all is easy sailing the 

 Townsend way. You can't go wrong with a copy of 

 my book before you. IT'S FREE. Also my services.

One week spent at Montreal, closely watch- 

 ing- the handling- of apple shipments from 

 the car to the shed and then to the boats, 

 .s.-itisfied me thoroni>^hiy that the export trade 

 for the fruitmen of Canada can novur be- 

 come the success which our fruit can de- 

 mand under reasonoble conditions, on the 

 foreign market, unless the handling at 

 these points is done with more care amd 

 consideration, under government inspection. 



Legislation compels the growers, under 

 penalty, to pack their fruit to a certain 

 standard, but just as socm as it is shipped 

 it is at the mercy of the carrier. This is 

 a gap that has been left open, through 

 which losses running into thousands of 

 dollars, have passed. In justice then to the 

 growers and shippers, legislation should 

 be brought about, that while they are liable 

 for the proper pack, the handlers be made 

 liable for improper handling. The same 

 condition exists with express shipments of 

 fresh fruits. I know this to be a fa';t, that 

 at nearly every fruit shipping point in On- 

 tario, at least, growers have stood on the 

 platform and seen their shipments of 

 peaches rendered practically unmarketable 

 before the train pulled out. 



It is most discouraging to follow the 

 fruit special through the Niagara district 

 during the heavy shipping season, and see
