berry plamts sent us three years ago. To say 
that we @re proud that we ever heard of Town-

said leave it to Townsend when you want good 
plants; no matter whether early or late in the 
season, one can depend upon getting them. En- 
elcsed find another small order as I wish to set 
a few more. If you have not those ordered send 
next best; leave it to you. Respt., P. F. C. 
SOME STRAWBERRY GROWER 
W. D. Gay, Iowa 
I note the strawberry record of Elsa Al- 
baught, of Tennessee, in this issue of your 
paper, $1,500 per acre. I have made a record 
this year that beats this considerable. I had 
a field of 18,300 square feet from which I sold 
249 24-quart erates. I sold 218 crates at $5.00, 
24 crates at $6.00, 7 crates at $7.00, the total 
amount of cash received was $1,283.00. 
Besides this we canned three crates, and gave 
away four crates, besides we ate all we could 
for 15 days, not less then five crates were 
eaten. Above figures are accurate, and can be. 
easily verified. I am a jeweler 55 years old, 
and did ail.the.work in raising the corp after 
6 octock in summer of 1918. Local demand 
took them all, and my expense for crates was 
small, wsing them several times.
