Tremendous yields and excellent profits are a sure thing for the grower who 

 will invest in a patch of Townsend's black raspberries because we leave no stone 

 unturned to grow plants that are worthy of the Townsend reputation for ex- 

 cellence. 



Our customers have learned that the one sure method of stepping up their 

 black raspberry production is to purchcse plants which have been thoroughly 

 tested and re-tested several times before being shipped to them for re-planting. 

 Specialists on raspberry plants inspect our nursery rows three to five times during 

 the growing season and carefully remove and destroy all diseased canes so that we 

 ore assured that pur plants, before digging, are absolutely disease free and in 

 healthy condition for shipment. We do not even stop at this in our efforts to ship 

 you absolutely perfect stock. At digging time, our plants are again carefully gone 

 over and re-inspection is also made at the time your order is filled. 



Because of this conscientious, thorough method of disease-prevention, 



| tm you ere assured that such stock as you purchase from us will, with 



" / """""<. v , normal care after you have planted it, produce as high as 3200 to 6000 



""""'■■'*„, pints per acre, where other plants which have not had such intense care 



may yield only 800 to 1600 pints' per acre. You do not gamt
