WELL PLEASED WITH HIS 2000 PEACH TREES 



Franklin Co., Pa. 

 I appreciate the fine quality peach trees sent us last year; 

 have a perfect stand and I don't believe I ever saw trees grow 

 off so quick as these trees did after setting. We are needing 

 5000 more trees this spring, will book order early.

LOW EXPRESS AND PLANTS PLEASE MR. LEMUIRE 



Worcester Co., Mass. 

 The 5000 strawberry plants arrived in the very best condi- 

 tion, they certainly are nice plants. The express charges were 

 just as little as you stated. Many thanks for your courtesy in 

 handling my order. HENRY LEMUIRE. 



PRICES O.K. PLANTS PRODUCE FANCY BERRIES 



Berks County, Penna. 

 The 4600 Strawberry plants purchased from you took first 

 honors, with Dorsett ahead. Lots of people were surprised 

 when they saw these large berries, as most growers lost their 

 crop due to late frost. But my crop was as large as usual. 

 Your prices are satisfactory and your plants always produce 

 a good crop. That's what counts. ROGER G. KERCHER. 



ONE OF THE LARGEST BERRY ASSOCIATIONS 

 AGAIN FAVORS TOWNSEND'S PLANTS 



Upshur Co., West Va. 

 While two other large Nurseries have given us a lower quo- 

 tation than you have on several varieties, the Board prefers 

 your plants and you will again receive our orders as usual.

PRICES OF STRAWBERRIES 

 ARE STEADILY ADVANCING 



Strawberries have been making a consistent gain in 

 prices on the Wholesale Market. This means higher 

 prices to the consumer and better prices are ob- 

 tained at the Roadside Markets. Part of the ad- 

 vance in price is due to short crops and the heavy 

 consuming demand. If you have been getting low 

 yields and unsatisfactory returns from your invest- 

 ment, place your order this year for some of our 

 "Select Strain" stock. Get the yields that you have 

 a right to expect and cash in with a bumper crop, 

 while the demand for this fruit is becoming larger 

 and the prices advancing. You will not be disap- 

 pointed with the results obtained from Townsend's 

 "Select Strain" stock.
