WAKREN—Perfect bloomer; originated by 
Mr. S. H. Warren, of Massachusetts, the well- 
known strawberry judge, who spent most of 
his life in growing fancy strawberries. Mr. 
Warren claimed this to be the best he ever 
saw. The fruit is very large and handsome 
and I am sure will please any one wio Is 
looking for a fancy berry. It is very firm 
and considered a very good shipper; plant 
growth is good, strong and healthy. I feel 
that any of my customers who wish to test 
it will be pleased. 
WINNER—A perfect bloomer; season me- 
dium to late. This new variety originated in 
Pennsylvania and has only been fruited by us 
twice, but has given us a good crop of fine 
berries each time. It is a strong, vigorous 
grower, making long-jointed runners; berries 
are borne on unusually long stems; fruit 
highly colored and attractive; firm enough 
for a good shipper and an all-around good 
berry. Our Pennsylvania customers are very 
much in favor of it.

Dear Sir—tThe 16,000 Missionary plants ar- 
rived in fine shape, and as fine a lot of plants 
as Iever saw. You certainly give a fellow a 
good count. Every bunch has trom one to 
three plants over. I don’t believe I will lose 
50 plants out of the lot. Please mail one of 
your catalogs to my neighbor, Mr. L. R. 
Sealey. He wants some of your plants right 
away. Yours truly, 
W. S. SHELTON.

“WHY OUR PLANTS ARE EXTRA LARGE 
AND HAVE SUCH A LONG, FI- 
BROUS ROOT SYSTEM. 
First, they are bred from selected stock that 
has all the power possible to bring forth a 
well developed effspring. Our soil is deep, 
loose and fertile; the roots penetrate deep in 
the loose soil; the looseness of the soil causes 
the roots to spread and causes a great fibrous 
root system to build up; the plants are easily 
dug from 2 soil of this kind and the wonderful 
root system remains intact until they reach 
their journey’s end. The moisture from the 
Atlantic keeps the plants free from disease, 
the long season gives them ample time to 
build up a wonderful system. The air is al- 
ways moist on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. 
We do not suffer nearly as much by drought 
as they do inland a hundred miles. We are 
directly between the Atlantic Ocean and the 
Chesapeake Bay. 
It is hard to find a section of the country 
where my plants are not being grown. If you 
have never tried Townsend’s Thoroughbreds 
write me. I will give you the names of parties 
near you who have been to see my plants in 
fruiting season. This would be the best ad- 
vertising I could name. I could refer you to 
many of the largest association managers in 
the United States who could show you fields 
after fields. 
MY CUSTOMERS ARE MY BEST SALES- 
MEN. 
I try to grow the best for them it is possi- 
ble for me to grow. I put my whole time in 
this business from Christmas to Christmas. 
They do the selling. Their kind words keep 
me cheerful while I am at work for them. I 
went into this business looking for and ex- 
pecting success. I am proud to say that I 
have not been disappointed. But on the other 
hand my success has been far beyond my own 
expectations. Here is the secret: I have done 
my best to please every customer that I have 
ever filled an order for. In most cases I hare 
succeeded. They have spread the news to 
their neighbors and friends until Townsend’s 
name has become a household word. 'fown- 
send’s Thoroughbreds are known everywhere 
that strawberry growing is practical to any 
great extent. 
HELP YOU TO SELECT THE PROFITABLE 
VARIETIES. 
Hundreds of my customers leave the selec- 
tion of the varieties to me. This work is all 
done by me personally. And I am proud te 
say that I seldom fail to give entire satisfac-_ 
tion when an order is sent to me with these 
instructions. When sending your order for 
me to use my best judgment just mention 
what season you wish varieties to ripen in, 
how many of each season, whether for home 
use, local market or for distant shipment, I 
guarantee to please you.
