 THE BEST MONEY CROP. 



Big Wells, Texas., November 30, lOlo.

 here the past season paid a net profit of over 

 .$200 per acre, far better than any other farm crop. 

 With very best wishes for your success, and hop-

 you the coming season, I am, 



Yours very truly,

Northern Customers Find Our Thoroughbred Plants Satisfactory 



We wish to call attention of the Northern 

 growers to our "hardy prolific plants." It is 

 a fact that plants grown in a mild climate 

 such as we have on the Eastern Shore of 

 Maryland are built more hardy, and will stand 

 more abuse in handling and transplanting 

 than plants grown further North where they 

 have to be mulched during the winter for pro- 

 tection from the heavy freezes. 



Our plants are never mulched during the 

 winter, and they have that hardiness that 

 causes them to carry well to the four corners 

 of the United States, in proper condition, and 

 then to grow the big crops which many of our 

 customers are speaking about. 



Please note the testimonials of some of our 

 Northern customers what they say about our 

 plants that were shipped them in June the 

 past season. 



We quote a few extracts from letters and 

 postals received: 



Massachusetts. — The shipment of plants ar- 

 rived on June 12th, in fine condition. 



Iowa. — Plants arrived satisfactory; best I 

 have received this year. 



Michigan. — Your plants are all that you 

 claim. We take our hat off to you. 



Wisconsin. — Plants received June 2 0th; 

 fine shape; every plant is growing nice. 



Minnesota. — The last box of plants came in 

 today and are as good as the first after being 

 on the road two weeks in perfect condition. 

 W^rite 6-18. 



Buffalo, X. Y.. — Thanks for such nice 



plants; received June 1st. 



New" Hampshire. — Plants received May 

 1st in splendid condition. 



Ontario. — Plants received O. K. Thanks 

 for such fine plants. 



Quebec. — I received your plants on May 12; 

 very well pleased; plants are the largest and 

 strongest looking I ever set. 



Pennsylvania. — May 1st. We want to say 

 that we are well pleased with the plants. 

 While your plants are cheaper than we have 

 been getting they are also much better in 

 quality. 



Iowa. — All the plants purchased from you 

 have been perfectly satisfactory; best plants 

 we ever bought, and sorry did not hear from 

 you ten years ago. 



Iowa. — Last plants received in good order; 

 fine plants. You will get lots of business 

 from here next year. 



California. — Your plants always do well for 

 us; much better than our Pacific Coast plants. 

 Look for a good business this fall and winter. 



NOTE. — No matter where you are situated, 

 if it is small fruit plants we can please you, 

 and can usually save 3'ou money on your 

 order. While we do not claim to be cheaper 

 than any one, we do claim when quality is 

 considered that there is not a nursery in the 

 world that is giving as much for the money 

 as we are doing. W^hy not send Townsend 

 the order and take no chances? We assure 

 you that no one will appreciate the order 

 more than we will. 



CAUTION. — Agents claiming to sell 

 TOWNSEND'S THOROUGHBRED PLANTS 

 — make them show their credentials. We sell 

 our plants direct to the growers, our CATA- 

 LOGUE being our only salesmen. If one of 

 our own men happen to visit you he will 

 have the proper CREDENTIALS. 



OUR SERVICE. — Does not stop when we 

 ship your order. We are still here to help 

 you in any way we can to grow and market 

 your crop. No matter where you live we may 

 be able to help you and our service is gratis. 



BEGIN IX TIME. — Begin your planning 

 for spring plantings in time to go thoroughly 

 into the matter. Take up the matter with 

 your nurseryman as early as you get his Cata- 



logue. Tell him the acres you intend to plant. 

 TelL him in a frank way just what you are 

 thinking about doing and nine cases out of 

 ten he will be able to greatly help you in 

 your planning, and in the selecting of your 

 varieties. We ask you to let us help you. 



Botterdorf, Iowa. April. 2o. lOlG. 



Dear Mr. Townsend — I received another ship- 

 ment of 10,000 plants today, and they are sure 

 fine plants — have set nil ready over ten thousand 

 of your plants this year and have not lost a plant, 

 that sure is sending out good plants. I shall 

 always get my plants from TOWNSEND in the 

 future as they are far ahead of any plants I have 

 ever seen, and we can not dijr them as cheap as 

 you are selliuir us those nice plants for. The only 

 thing I regret now is that I did not hear about 

 your Thoroughbred plants ten years ago. 



With best wishes I am. ' H. R. C.
