Plant the Premier 

 for Sure Early Profits 





TOWNSEMD& W^W 



\jb CMTW 



Fifteen years' experience has taught us 

 that there can be no better early straw- 

 berry than the Premier. It was a hit in 

 1919 and continues to be the start of the early 

 bearers in 1 935. 



It's an "all-around" berry, unexcelled for the 

 ■, home garden, local market, or for shipping mod- 

 erate distances. 



Its large, luscious, beautiful berries are all 

 that their appearance promises and more. The 

 plants are immensely productive, being sur- 

 passed in that respect only by the m> > sensa- 

 tional Howard Supreme, a later bearer. It is 

 a sturdy grower, producing an abundance of 

 healthy plants, each of which is equally pro- 

 ductive. Best of all, the late frosts do not bother 

 the Premier, even though it is an early fruiting 

 variety, failures from that source being almost unknown. The 

 foliage is extremely disease-resistant. 



Of all the Premier plants sold, Townsend's, because of their 

 extra quality, are the most prolific producers. We are proud 

 of the 15-year record created by the millions of Premier plants 

 propagated and sold by this nursery.

My 12,000 Surplus strawberry plants purchased from you last year have 

 given a zeonderful fruit yield — there were so many fine and good varieties 

 that throughout the season I was able to supply my roadside fruit stand 

 with a selection of berries that sold readily. 



Your surplus plants surely made money tliis year.

During our day's digging we run over on some varieties we have 

 dug to fll orders, and as we do not ship anything but fresh-dug 

 stock, carrying no plants over from one day to the next, we use 

 these plants to fill Surplus Plant orders. Customers who are not 

 particular about varieties will find these plants a real bargain, as 

 every plant is strictly fresh-dug, labeled, and true to name. Please 

 do not ask for any particular variety when ordering these plants. 

 At the price we are offering them, it would be impossible to comply 

 with this request. 



1000 plants $2.75 per 1000 



5000 or more $2.50 per 1000
