Dear Friend: 
Again, as in the past years, I take this opportunity to express 
our appreciation. for the orders sent us the past year. It is gratify- 
ing to know that one has so many friends, and satisfied customers. 
I only wish that I could thank each and every one personally. 
You, who have purchased Townsend’s plants in the past, know 
the high quality Select-Strain stock which has given you larger 
yields “at no extra cost.”’ 
The supply of strawberry plants this season is much better than 
the past year, but even this year’s supply is limited, and especially 
so on certain varieties. The supply on other berry plants is very 
limited, although we do have a nice lot of blueberry plants, in one, 
two and three year grades. We have had plenty of rain here the 
past Summer, thus our plants will carry their usual heavy root 
system, which assures you of good growth. 
As each month goes by, the armed forces are releasing more and 
more men, which means a lot of our men are getting back in har- 
ness and we should be in better shape to serve you this season 
more promptly than in the past several years. But it is to every 
one’s advantage to place their order for seeds and plants early, so 
that orders can be booked and your stock reserved for shipment at 
your proper planting time. In the past, it has always paid to send 
your order in for plants early. This year more than ever before, 
it will more than re-pay you, due to the fact that there has not, 
been enough plants to go around for the last four years, so first 
The results of Townsend’s come is first served.
