E. W. TOWNSEND, SQUARE DEAL NURSERY, SALISBURY, MD. 



Mrs. E. Jewell, of Arkansas, is one of our lady cus- 

 tomers who has made more than good in the growing 

 of the everbearing strawberries. This lady started sev- 

 eral years ago to order plants from us for home use. 

 She has now quite a plant nursery of her own, and is 

 not making pin money but real money, from her under- 

 takings. Mrs. Jewell has the right spirit and also the 

 push that goes with it to make success. But for lack 

 of space we would publish a very interesting letter 

 from her that appeared in one of our leading horticul- 

 tural papers a few months ago. What Mrs. Jewell has 

 done many other women can do. 



Mrs. C. J. Ryker of Mississippi, is another lover and 

 grower of strawberries, and has found it very profitable. 

 Mrs. Ryker says that it is surprising that every farm 

 wife does not grow enough of this delicious fruit to 

 supply the family wants. 



Another letter from a lady customer in Ohio. 



I want to tell you of my success in the family straw- 

 berry garden. As you know, our space was limited, 

 thirty feet by fifty, in the three years since I started 

 this garden with your help, our family has not been 

 without strawberries. From June loth, until November 

 we have them fresh every day. After that I have pre- 

 served and canned enough to more than serve us until 

 they come again, and have every year sold enough ber- 

 ries and plants to buy all the sugar, jars, etc., needed, 

 and have quite a little saving account of my own for 

 pin money. The row of Dahlias that you suggested 

 down the walk has attracted much attention, and has 

 also proved profitable. We have bought a vacant lot, 

 near by, so I shall have more room another season. 

 I like the work for the pleasure, and find it profitable 

 as well, and hope that if you publish this letter that 

 it may be the means of helping some other woman as 

 I have been helped.

 The plants bought of you have given us all the ber- 

 ries we could use and have been a source of pleasure 

 to the family. MRS. CUMMINGS. 



Logan, Ohio. 

 Enclosed find order for more plants. The plants re- 

 ceived from you last spring are the best I ever saw. 

 Set them out first of May and never lost half dozen 

 out of 1,200, notwithstanding a severe dry season. 

 I picked the last berries November 22nd. Had green 

 and ripe berries all the time from July until then, from 

 the Superb. MRS. J. B. D. 



ONE riiOM IOWA. 



You will be Interested to know rny success w\ 

 King Autumn strawberries. I set 125 plants ir. 

 picked off all blossoms for eight weeks and made first 

 picking about July 15th. After that time we picked 

 regularly every day from two to five quarts and sold 

 besides always saving all we could use. 

 quarts that brought us $96.25. We fa other 



varieties of strawberries and find the everbearing you 

 sent us to be easier to grow than the standard sorts. 

 Expect to increase the size of our plot next spring. 

 There is no limit to the demand, and why should there 

 be, for no other fruit on earth equals the everbearing 

 strawberries. 



MRS. GRIFFIN. 



P. S. — I shall order my plants from you as I think 

 they will do better than the ones I have; besides I do 

 not want to dig my own plants, preferring to keep 

 them to fruit. 



BOYS WORK WITHOUT ASKING. 

 FROM OLD VIRGINIA. 



Albemarle County, Virginia. 



I enclose money order for 500 more Progressives. 

 The ones I bought of you have done splendid, and give 

 us plenty of berries all the time, except a few months 

 in winter. I know that you have sold lots of plants to 

 women here who have seen my bed. Finest berries 

 ever tasted, is what they all say. 



The everbearing strawberries have interested my two 

 boys more than any other garden crop. It was always 

 a hard task for them to work in the garden until I got 

 the berries planted, now they go without asking.

One corner of our nursery we reserve for the 

 growing of Dahlias. We have over 150 varie- 

 ties, every color and shade, every variety from 

 the smallets button Dahlia to the largest cactus. 

 We do not sell bulbs labeled, we prefer to thor- 

 oughly mix our bulbs when we cellar them in 

 the fall, and in this way every customer is as- 

 sured of getting a mixture of varieties and col- 

 ors at the same price.

100 bulbs 7.00

 each, any amount a clump has, from six to

Dahlia Seed 



Not very many Dahlia growers know that 

 the finest Dahlias can be grown from the seed, 

 planted as early in the spring as the ground 

 can be worked and it becomes warm. 



When Dahlias are grown from the seed there 

 is no end to the varieties, colors, and shades. 

 Some of the very prettiest plots and borders 

 are grown every year from the seed. We have 

 a large supply of seed this season put up in the 

 following packages. These seeds are saved from 

 the 150 varieties that we are growing and will 

 be mailed postpaid: 



1 package. 200 to 500 seeds $0 25

7 packages, 200 to 500 seeds 1.60 



Choice Asters 



We have an assortment of Asters of about 

 twenty varieties and colors, in packages same 

 price as Dahlia seed. Next to the Dahlia, the 

 Asters rank in popularity, as the longest bloom- 

 ing border flowers grown.
