1 SELL DIRECT—to the people, saving them over one-half on their orders. 
NO SHORTAGE—on plants with me this season. 
WE CAN—usually fill orders promptly from November first, until May the first. 
BEAR IN MIND—that there is no better plants grown than I grow no matter what you pay, 
ALL PLANTS—sent out by me have the highest fruiting power, grown from strong, healthy 
mother plants selected by a strawberry expert. 
THIS IS MY SPECIALTY—growing strawberry plants and propagating new \ arieties. I 
_have all my eggs in one basket and keep my eyes on the BASKET. 
| WANT YOUR ORDER—this season. 
Positively every order can be filled. 
I promise to please you. I am responsible. Ask 
your neighbor about me. Townsend’s Thoroughbreds is a household word in nearly every 
state. They never fail to grow a crop of big red berries. 
HUNDREDS—are making more growing strawberries than they are growing any other 
crops. You can do the same if you grow Townsend’s Thoroughbreds. There is no garden 
too small for a few hills of strawberries. There is no mouth too sweet for a ripe red 
BERRY. 
REMEMBER—when you place your order place it with 
TOWNSEND—the man that SATISFIES. 
Ten years ago little did I dream that the plant business would grow with me until 
today lt is second but to a few in the United States. and second to none in a great many 
ways. I have been successful, but be it far from me that my chief satisfaction lies in the 
money gained. No, No, the greatest satisfaction and my chief delight rest in the sweet 
fact that my labors in the line of plant improvement, plant introductions and plant crea- 
tions, have benefited hundreds of American homes and have added materially to the 
wealth of the country. 
_ I have originated, introduced and generally distributed many of the now leading varie- 
ties that have become a standard and are now used in hundreds and hundreds of gardens 
and fields. Such varieties in many cases returning from 50 to 100 per cent more than the 
old varieties formerly used. 
The introduction of the Missionary strawberry in the State of Florida which has caused 
the growers to annually double their profits should have been glory enough for any one 
man, but I am not satisfied and I believe there are still better things for my Florida friends, 
as well as all my other friends everywhere. I am still sleeping with my strawberry beds, 
and if I have not already got it I expect to introduce one that will be as far above the Mis- 
sionary as the Missionary was the Excelsior. I expect io hear that report from the ‘‘Uncle 
Sam” for I truly believe that the Uncle Sam is the greatest extra early strawberry ever 
introduced to date. It was a variety so good that I was three years naming it. At last 
Uncle Sam popped on my mind and I said, ‘that’s it,’’ no name could be better. T am 
sending out Uncle Sam just like I sent Missionary, if you are not perfectly satisfied with 
your purchase after fruiting it write me, T will refund every penny paid me without a word. 
I make the same offer on all my Introductions, I believe it only fair, and I could not 
afford to do business any other way. There are so many fake varieties being sent out 
with no guarantee whatever, that are no good, that half the public are afraid to look at any- 
thing offered new. I have never had this offer made me. But I have never lest a penny 
by making it. So you need not be afraid to order Uncle Sam, Baltimore, Barkley. Joe 
Johnson, First Prize, Maryland Prize, Progressive, King Autumn, or any other of my own 
Introductions, they must please you. See how many other nurserymen are making you 
this offer every season.
