Heavier yields and bigger profits are a sure thing for the raspberry 

 grower who invests in a patch of Townsend's Select Strain certified 

 plants. We leave no stone unturned to grow plants that are worthy 

 of the Townsend's reputation for excellence. Our propagating field 

 is set in proper soil to produce a well balanced plant with vigorous 

 root system and grown under the supervision of a specialist on rasp- 

 berries. They are carefully watched during the growing season for 

 any kind of disease that might appear. Twice a year State Inspectors 

 visit our plantings and carefully inspect all growing plants. Town- 

 send's plants come to you doubly inspected and carry with them a 

 certified seal pronouncing them free from mosaic and other injurious 

 disease. 



Because of this conscientious thorough method of 

 disease-prevention, growers in forty-eight states set 

 Townsend's Raspberry plants last year. Realizing that 

 the one sure method of stepping up their yields was 

 to purchase plants which have been grown right, prop- 

 erly packed, and delivered to them in a fresh growing 

 condition. We feel sure that with normal care after 

 planting that Townsend's Select Strain certified rasp- 

 berry plants will practically double your yields, thereby 

 cutting cost of production and increasing profits. 



A raspberry planting is good for several years, don't 

 gamble on your planting stock, get the best plants 

 obtainable. They will cost you less in the long run. 

 You will find our prices reasonable and we know you 

 will be pleased with the plants we send you.
