Townsend*s ©wn Selection 



I have been making these selections for my 

 customers for years, and if I have ever failed 

 to select the proper varieties in any instance, 

 or failed in any way to satisfy the customer, 

 I have yet to hear. Many plant growers do 

 not make these offers and, in fact, they could 

 not do it to any degree of certainty, as it takes 

 a great deal of time and yeacs of experiment- 

 ing to know just what varieties w^ill suit in 

 each locality. 



One of these Garden collections pays its 

 cost several times over the first season 

 planted, and within a very few months after 

 being planted, as we do not fail to include 

 ever-bearing varieties in all the Garden selec- 

 tions. In ordering any of these Garden selec- 

 tions always order by number. 



We are making these selections this year 

 as small as 10 plants. We are doing this as 

 we found the past season that many of our 

 city folks wanted our selections, but did not 

 have the space. Now 100 plants can be set 

 in a very small corner of the garden or yard. 

 Nothing that could be used in a small, space 

 would look more prettier growing than straw- 

 berries. It makes both a flower garden and 

 a fruit garden at the same time. Over five 

 hundred lady customers bought these Garden 

 selections the past season. 



REMEMBER that I make every selection 

 myself (personally).
