TESTIMONIALS FROM A TO Z. 
For twenty years the writer of this book, 
has been encouraging the growing of family 
strawberry beds. Probably not half who 
have read my story vear after year, have 
been influenced enough to make the start. 
But enough encouragement has been re- 
ceived by me, that I shall never stop the | 
work that I have begun as long as I am able 
to write a catalogue. That I have done 
some good you will see by the following ex- 
tracts from letters received from all over 
the Country. 
ALABAMA.—We are picking berries 
this year from the beds of plants we bought 
of you three years ago.

The initial cost | 
berries we have used in our home we have | 
sold more than $59.00 worth of berries to 
our neighbors every year. We owe it all 
to Townsend service. 
ARKANSAS.—Several years ago we 
purchased some Progressive ever bearing 
plants from you. They did so well that 
we have never stopped growing them. Has 
been the best investment we ever made. No 
one at the time we purchased these plants 
from you knew anything about ever bear- 
ing strawberries in this section and today 
every family for miles around has them 
growing in their gardens. All this came 
about through your recommendation of the 
family garden. We owe you a great deal 
of credit. 
ALASK A.—When we came here we nev- 
er expected to get any more fresh straw- 
berries from the vines. But today we are 
picking as fine berries from the plants you 
sent us as we ever saw in Ohio. 
ARIZONA.—Have just finished pick- 
ing last berries from our garden. 
sold more than $200 worth and have plenty 
stored for winter and they come again. It 
is the most profitable crop we have ever 
grown. Many thanks t»> you. 
ARIZONA.—The Ford plants produced 
as fine quality berries as the Marshall, and 
about four times as many berries. I en- 
close order for more plants. 
CALIFORNIA.—It is a pleasure to 
grow your plants. We have ordered plants 
from all sections, but never got any to 
grow like Townsend’s. 
CANAL ZONE.—Plants arrived in fine 
shape and are growing nicely. 
COLORADO.—Townsend’s plants are 
the leading plants in our valley. We have 
been growing them here for more than fif- 
teen years and have never !3t a crop. 
CONNECTICUT.—We picked 560 
quarts from our ever bearing garden to date 
and still lots of green fruit and blossoms 
October Ist. We only set 500 plants: only 
sorry we did not set several thousand. We 
are recommending your plants and service 
everywhere, 

We have | 
DELAWARE.—While I have lived in 
this great strawberry section all my life _I 
have never seen any real strawberries until 
my Premier plants fruited this year, that I 
got from you. In the future I want no 
other but Premier. 
FLORIDA.—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 winter. 
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 delighted 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. 
INDEANA.—Our Townsend garden proe 
duced more than 250 quarts of the finest 
berries, we sold more than $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 this 
year. Want to thank you for getting us 
started. The row of ever bearing straw- 
berries have been a perfect show al] sum- 
mer. 
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.
