E. W. TOWNSEND & SON— SQUARE DEAL NURSERY 



Impossible to Fill The Demand For Townsend's 

 High-Grade Plants 



Every year we have increased our acre- 

 age. And every year we have more un- 

 filled orders. We have grown more than 

 300 acres for our 1922 crop, but we do not 

 expect to be able to fill the orders again 

 this season. We have just purchased 170 

 acres more of the finest strawberry land 

 on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. We 

 are preparing this land now for our 1923 

 crop of plants. This added acreage will 

 only partly fill the demand for our plants. 



The big seed houses of the Country 

 would take alone every plant we can grow 

 every year to fill their orders. Our prices 



to them are just the same as to our regular 

 customers who send to us direct. It can 

 thus be seen that people will pay even twice 

 or three times as much as we ask for our 

 plants in order to get them. 



The seed houses usually ask about twice 



to three times as much for plants as we 



charge for them. Most of these orders 



are filled direct to the growers from our 



j packing houses under our own tag, and the 



seed house customers know whose plants 



: they are using. This helps to create a 



\ great demand for Townsend's plants thru 



j this source as our plants always adver- 



I tise themselves.

Townsend's Plants and Townsend's 

 Service. 



R. I., June 30, 1921. 

 Just finished my half acre of berries, net- 

 ted me $1378.60, what do you think of this 

 for a starter? I am expecting to double 

 this next season when my Premier comes 

 into bearing. Townsend's plants and 

 Townsend's service for me.

From a small Townsend garden we pick- 

 ed 320 quarts for our grocer, he paid us 40 

 cents per quart, and we had all the deli- 

 cious berries we could use for four weeks. 

 Had only 300 plants. This was your girl's 

 garden selection. 



Mary Thomas (111.) 



The strawberry plants came O. K., I have 

 them set out and they look fine. I want to 

 thank you for the fine plants. 



Alice Murry (N. H.). 



Walnut Grove Sanatorium. 



The strawberry plants arrived O. K. and 

 are looking fine. If you ever come to 

 Springfield, Mass., I would be pleased to 

 have you call. I live seven miles from 

 Forest Park. 



Mrs. A. H. Newman. 



A Pleased Customer. 



We got an order of strawberry plants 

 from you people which amounted to 14,000 

 plants. The plants were very fine. Am 

 very well pleased with them. 



Clarence Kepple (Pa.). 



Townsend's plants have done wonderful 

 for us. We are Townsend boosters. You 

 have received many orders that we have 

 thrown your way. We have tried plants 

 from all over the Country but nothing as 

 good as Townsend's plants here. 



John Figgs (Mass.). 



Sent across the Continent and as Fresh 

 as when dug. 



The plants got here on the 20th and they 

 were as fresh as when dug. There was not 

 one of them bad. Never saw such fine 

 plants. I got some from a neighbor of 

 yours and they were half rotten. I have or- 

 dered a lot of plants from all parts of the 

 Country but yours beat them all. 



O. A. Coye (Texas). 



I think that nearly every one in this sec- 

 tion uses Townsend's plants. We have 

 been using them for years and have always 

 been a Townsend booster. We have only 

 a small bed in our garden but would not 

 be without a garden of strawberries for 

 nothing in the world. Pays for itself many 

 times over each year. Send us 600 more 

 Premier plants and 100 Lucky Boy. These 

 are our choice varieties. 



Mrs. J. J. S. (Pa.). 



Replying to yours of the 1st inst. as to 

 how we like the Premier, will say Premier 

 is the only berry for us. We expect to set 

 10 acres to it this Spring and will give you 

 our order a little later as we are making up 

 a 50,000 order in order to get them for $7.00 

 per 1,000. Reserve this many for us, we 

 will surely take them. 



J. A. H. (Alabama). 



The plants you sent me are doing fine, 

 have lost but very few. The World's 

 Wonder are the finest plants I ever saw. 

 I am more than pleased. Wishing you 

 every success in your honest business way. 

 These days it is hard to find honest business 

 men but there are still some. I am glad to 

 say. 



Ralph B. Hill (Conn,). 



Gentlemen: — The 1,000 plants ordered 

 from you on the 11th arrived in fine shape 

 on the 14th. In speed for filling orders 

 this "caps the climax." Many thanks 

 for your promptness. I assure you I ap- 

 preciate this kind of service. — Yours truly 

 F. G. McCollum (N. Y.). 



Plants came duly at hand and certainly 

 look good.
