30 E. W. Townsend & Son, Square Deal Nursery 

A to Z---Continued. 
_MICHIGAN.—Your plants are the har- 
diest and most vigorous plants we have ev- 
er grown. You must have a wonderful soil 
and Climate. Our small bed of plants isa 
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 fall, as 
you say it is best to set the ever bearing 
every vear in your book. 
MISSOURI.—I only wish that we had 
set an acre of berries iast 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 for 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 sma!l 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 iittle 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 them 
growing nicely when 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 your name 
on it—TOWNSEND’S 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 Frogres- 
sive are fine and they fruit such a long 
time. 



NEW YORK .—Enclosed find check for 
three orders for plants. We want them 
sent as per instructions to our three coun- 
try homes: Cuba, N. H. and L. I. We 
want plenty of Townsend’s strawberries 
everywhere we go. 
NORTH CARGCLINA.—I am writing 
this letter to let vou know that we have had 
more pleasure from the ever bearing straw- 
berry plants purchased from you Jast year 
than anything we have ever grown. People 
told us ever bearing plants were no good in 
the South, and even you did not speak very 
highly of them for our section when we 
sent in the order. But I never saw more 
berries on any vine than on these Progres- 
sive plants. We furnished one big hotel 
berries for three months, besides having 
a plenty for ourselves. We want another 
supply this season and want the Progres- 
sive. 
OHIO.—Enclosed find picture of our 
little strawberry garden. Pretty good for 
two old codgers, I think each one over 70. 
But we have certainly enjoved growing 
these plants and have not only gotten pleas- 
ure but some profit besides. As we have 
sold several bushels to our town folks at a 
nice price. Sorry we did not get started 
in the business sooner. If we should live 
will want to set a few more next spring. 
CEKELAHCMA.—I would be ungrateful 
were I not to write vou and thank you for 
the services rendered to us in our dealings 
with you. We knew nothing about straw- 
berries, never saw any growing. But with 
your fine plants and good advice we have 
gone through very nicely and have raised 
a fine crop of berries of which we are just’ y 
proud. Wekept no account of the quarts 
picked and sold but are sure that every 
plant has picked more than two quarts of 
berries and still loaded. We will set an- 
other acre this winter if we can get the 
plants, as we can find a good market for 
all we can grow. Please let us know if we 
can get 10,000 Progressive and what time. 
OREGCON.—FPFlants received in fine 
shape on the 22nd, just 10 days on the road, 
did not lose a plant. 
PENNSYLVANIA.—For ten straight 
years we have had your plants and never a 
single failure. 
RHODE ISLAND.—The plants shipped 
to us in April began to fruit in July and 
have never stopped, we have had all the 
berries we could use for four months, and 
much cheaper and better than we could 
have bought. This was our first effort in 
growing berries. I and my little boy of 
ten have done all the work both in setting 
and cultivating. We want a good supply 
next spring. 
SGUTH CAROLINA.—We had very 
good success with the strawberries last 
season and want some more plants this 
season as we have a good outlet here for 
such fine berries as we grew. Those Pre- 
miers were said to be the finest strawberries 
ever seen here.
