YOU RECEIVE TOWNSENDS’ 
Wénorsy PLANT SELECTION 
al no extra cost! 
T JE forty-five years of our experience in 
growing and propagating small fruit 
plants has taught us the vital importance of plant “strain”. 
For, in selecting plants, it is just as important to continually 
improve the “strain” asit is with horses, cows and other ani- 
mals. Every Townsend plant is an offspring of a selected 
plant that has special merits back of it. Throughout the year, 
experienced men under the personal supervision of one of the 
Townsends’ go into the fields and personally select the plants 
that are to be used for mOtuer plants. Only plants that show 
outstanding vigor and productiveness for the specific variety, 
are used. These selected breeding plants are reset into a plot; 
and during their period of growth (until the following spring), 
numerous strong, healthy runner plants are produced. These 
are taken up during the spring at proper planting time and set 
in large acreages on our farms to grow for our numerous cus- 
tomers throughout the country. 
Even after all this we do not consider our work finished. We 
continue selecting this stock, constantly striving to keep our 
strain as close to perfection as our forty-five years experience 
has taught us. Only in this way can we be sure of giving our 
customers plants of better quality and greater yield.
