Northern Growers Recognize the Hardiness of TOWNSEND'S _{2Z-% S Lait Plants 
ERE, at our nurseries the tem- 
perature often falls around zero, 
and even lower. This is very cold weather 
for any plants—but Townsends’ select 
strain varieties prove their worth even 
under these conditions by not being af- 
fected by this bitter cold! During these 
spells our plants are not protected by 
mulch of any kind, but have hardened 
themselves against frigid temperatures, 
unlike plants grown by northern nursery- 
men under mulch. This fact has become so 
well known that many northern growers 
are convinced that they cannot obtain 
oa plants anywhere else in the coun- 
try!

CANADA FOLKS—LIKE TOWNSENDS’ HARDY PLANTS 
DEAR SIR: Woodville, Ontario, Canada. 
Years ago I planted your Strawberry Plants, since then, I 
have used no others. People depend on me for their berries 
and I get six cents a quart more than my sag gee and I 
couli have sold several thousand more quarts this year if I 
had them to offer. Advise me on other varieties to plant if 
you have any better. E. W. MARSHALL.

GROWER FROM CONNECTICUT VISITS SALISBURY 
DEAR SIR: Fairfield, Conn. 
I wish at this time to express my appreciation to you for 
showing me around your plant farms when I visited your 
nurseries in August. 
During my visit, and being interested in growing berries 
I naturally noticed all strawberry fields. 
I ean truthfully say that yours (plant Farms) was the 
best I saw between here and Salisbury. I believe the Town- 
send method of fertilization and propagation accounts for 
this. I have been using your plants for 5 years and they 
have never. failed to satisfy. Therefore, after seeing the differ- 
ence I will use only your stock plants from now on. You 
may look for another order next Spring. WILSON B. FAIR

TOWNSENDS’ PLANTS MAKING A REPUTATION 
FOR MR. JOHNSON 
DEAR SIRS: Plymouth Co., Mass. 
Townsends’ Strawberry plants have made a wonderful repu- 
tation for our roadside fruit & vegetable market. Our cus- 
tomers tell us we have the best berries, passing up many 
markets along the highway until they reach our place. Your 
plants always produce larger—brighter berries with big yields
