20 E. W. TOWNSEND & SONS’ STRAWBERRY PLANTS 
Cabbage Plants wincn tispene 
A Trial Order Will Convince You of Our Quality. 
This year we have grown on our Farms in Mary- 
land a stock of five million Winter Hardened Cab- 
bage plants, which will be ready for shipment Feb- 
ruary the 15th, making daily shipments until April 
the 25th. We have had a favorable growing season 
in maturing these plants, and with our rigid selec- 
tion in sending only a well balanced plant to our 
customer, that they will please all who receive them, 
maturing a crop from a week to ten days ahead of 
the average plant sent out. 
Our Plants Free From Disease 
Due to the clean cultivation given our Cabbage 
plants during growing season, and the rotation of 
crops in preparing our fields for the growing of these 
plants, we have failed to find any of the diseases 
that generally prevail in the Cabbage Growing Sec- 
tions of the South. With the help of our State In- 
spectors we are constantly watching for any disease 
that might give our customers trouble after setting, 
and have found them free from all diseaSe in every 
inspection made. 
Order Early 
Our customers have found in our plants a depend- 
able quality they have been looking for, and each 
year we find they increase their orders. Last year 
the demand was so great we were compelled to re- 
turn a considerable number of orders unfilled, as we 
do not ship any plants other than grown on our own 
farms, under our own supervision. These plants are 
selected in the field, and again at our packing house. 
An order will convince you that our plants are un- 
equal in size, root system and excellent crowns. 
Again we advise you to place order as early as pos- 
sible. 
COPENHAGEN MAREKET—Planted with Early Jer- 
sey Wakefield—when the Wakefield is ready for mar- 
ket, the heads of this strain will be equally as good. 
If, however, the Copenhagen Market is allowed to 
grow another ten days the yield per acre in tonnage 
will be almost double. It will remain longer on the 
field without bursting than any other early sort. 
EARLY JERSEY WAKEFIELD—One of the earliest 
varieties of pointed head type, and extensively plant- 
ed for early market. The plants we offer of this ex- 
cellent variety will please the most critical trade. 
They are well hardened and should produce a crop 
ten days earlier than southern plants. 
GOLDEN ACRE—<An early round-head variety of ex- 
cellent quality. Has few outer leaves, permitting 
close planting. It is a splendid variety for the mar- 
ket gardener. 
SUCCESSION—Is a large, solid, flat head variety 
that matures a little later than the Copenhagen Mar- 
ket, but makes an enormous yield, and is said to be 
one of the surest headers. 
DANISH BALLHEAD—Large heads, round and very 
solid. We are listing this variety for the benefit of 
our customers in the extreme north, where it can be 
grown through the summer months with wonderful 
success.

Dear Sirs:—Book us for an additional 12,000 Early Jersey 
Wakefield. The last 15,000 being such stocky plants has 
encouraged us to set more. Please get these off at once, 
by Express. You will receive an order from my neighbor 
who saw my first lot of plants received from you.

Lebanon, Penna., May 28, 1930. 
Gentlemen:—I have been purchasing my plants in the 
south during the past few years, and gave you a trial order 
this year. When your plants came and comparison made of 
the plants I had been getting, I was convinced that I had 
been getting my plants from the wrong place. Your plants, 
although set out nearly two weeks later than a shipment 
received from —————————,, are now much larger and a 
perfect stand. Quite a few growers have asked me where 
I received these plants, and I am pleased to tell them of 
you; for we are in need of such plants that you send out— 
if we are to make any money from Early Cabbage. 
Sincerely yours, 
F. F. STEWART. 
Terre Haute, Ind., March 25, 1930. 
Gentlemen:—Please accept our thanks for the extra fine 
lot of Cabbage Plants sent us this year. We have them all 
set out and growing nicely. You can rest assured of our 
dese!

Dear Sirs:—To say that I am more than pleased with my 
Cabbage Plants is putting it mildly. The plants arrived in 
wonderful condition, and I notice that you were quite gen- 
erous in your count. Your plants will be recommended to 
my friends, 
FRANK ARTMORE.
