TRUE-TO-XAME SMALL FRUIT PLANTS 



35 



A to Z---Continued. 



DELAWARE.— While 1 have lived in 

 this sreat strawberry section all my life I 

 have never seen any real strawbenies until 

 my Premier plants fruited this year, that I 

 got from you. In the future I want no 

 otlier but Premier. 



FLOR IDA. — Townsend's Missionary 

 has put Florida on the map as a strawberry 

 state. Long may the originator live. 



GEORGIA. — I am writing to you again 

 for the fine plants you sent us last w-inter. 

 This ever bearing garden has produced 

 abundantly all summer and fall. Better 

 than you claimed. 



IDAHO. — Folks told us that strawber- 

 ries would not grow in this section. We 

 have picked more than 300 quarts of the 

 finest berries from our small garden this 

 season and are deliglited with our adven- 

 ture. Nothing like having them fresh 

 every day for so long a season. 



ILLINOIS. — I am an old strawberry 

 grower, have been in the busines for more 

 than forty years. Have never seen such 

 productive plants as you sent us. With 

 very best regards to you and the son. 



INDIANA. — Our Townsend garden pro- 

 duced more than 250 quarts of the finest 

 berries, we sold more than S.50 worth and 

 have plenty for winter. We will plant an 

 acre this coming spring. 



IOWA. — We were induced by your writ- 

 ings to set a patch and wish to say that it 

 was the best investment we ever made. 

 Could never get along without strawber 

 ries any more. 



KANSAS. — We raised everything else, 

 even "Cain" but no strawberries until thi? 

 year. Want to thank you for getting us 

 started. The row of ever bearing straw- 

 berries have been a perfect show all sum- 



KENTUCKY.— Will you kindly send us 

 a catalogue, we want to buy some plants 

 like the ones you sent Mrs. Jones last year. 

 We have never seen such fine berries as they 

 produced. Also send book to Mr. Griffith, 

 who is interested. 



MARYLAND.— While touring thru 

 Maryland last year we saw some of your 

 strawberry plant farms, as they were the 

 finest kept plant fields I have ever seen, 

 looked so vigorous, I want to try them out 

 on the Western Shore. Kindly send Cat- 

 alogue and price on three varieties, early 

 to late, leaving the selection to you. 



MASSACHUSETTS.— You will be 

 blessed for the good work you are doing, 

 many homes are being made much happier, 

 and children are being raised healthier, by 

 your good work. We have never seen 

 such wonderful varieties as you are send- 

 ing out. I am an old man but keep your 

 catalogue coming. Will always be inter- 

 ested in your work. 



MICHIGAN.— Your plants are the har- 

 die-vt and most vigorous plants we have ev- 

 er grown. You must have a wonderful soil 

 and Climate. Our small bed of plants is a 

 show for the town. 



MINNESOTA.— The 100 Progressive, 

 ever bearing strawberry plants produced 

 more than 150 quarts this season. All we 

 could expect in both quality and quantity. 



MISSISSIPPI.— The 500 plants fur- 

 nished our Guests and Boarders this sum- 

 mer with all the berries needed. And we 

 wish to set another 500 plants this fail, as 

 you say it is best to set the ever bearing 

 overy year in your book. 



MISSOURI. — I only wish that we had 

 set an acre of berries last spring, we 

 have had fine success with the small lot 

 and had lots of berries from the Lucky 

 Boy and Progressive. Send us your cat- 

 alogue soon as out, we want to book an or- 

 der lor enough to set an acre or more. 



MONTANA. — Strawberries grow well 

 here. I never saw better and bigger ber- 

 ries than Lucky Boy produced last fall. 

 How much for 1000 plants. 



NEBRASKA .—We produced 2500 

 quarts from our small bed of 3000 plants. 

 Grub work spoiled one end of our bed. We 

 think Premier the greatest berry we have 

 seen and best for table use. 



NEVADA. — We know of no one else in 

 our section who grows strawberries. We 

 have had good luck with our bed. We 

 knew how to grow them before we came 

 here. Every one is crazy over strawber- 

 ries who sees ours and we are sending you 

 a list of names of our neighbors who will 

 want to order some of your garden selec- 

 tions. 



NEW HAMPSHIRE.— We ordered Big 

 Six Special last spring and must say we are 

 well pleased. Lucky Boy is now loaded 

 with fine large berries and all the plants are 

 growing fine. Enclosed find a photo of 

 our garden. The little fellow in the fore- 

 groung is our little 12 year old son who has 

 done most of the work in cultivating the 

 berries. He is proud of his success. 



NEW .JERSEY.— We have never known 

 what real pleaure was until this summer. 

 We had you send our gardener 500 plants, 

 Lucky Boy and Progressive, he had tnem 

 growing nicely w-hen we arrived on Long 

 Island for the summer. For more than 

 two months we have had three times as 

 many berries as we could use, and have 

 given bushels away to our friends. Here 

 is the picture with a stake with vour name 

 on it— TOWNSEXDS STRAWBERRY 

 GARDEN. 



NEW MEXICO.— We wish you to send 

 us another lot of plants this spring. We 

 have gotten used to berries now and can't 

 get along without them. Those Progres- 

 sive are fine and they fruit such a long 

 time.
