Northern Growers Recognize the i^OJMi^ of TOWNSENDS' SoJiicJt S/hotUt Plants 



H 



ERE, at our nurseries the tem- 

 perature often falls around zero, 

 and even lower. This is very cold weather 

 for any plants — but Townsends' select strain 

 varieties prove their worth even under these 

 conditions by not being affected by this 

 bitter cold! During these spells our plants 

 are not protected by mulch of any kind, 

 but have hardened themselves against 

 frigid temperatures, unlike plants grown 

 by northern nurserymen under mulch. This 

 fact has become so well known that many 

 northern growers are convinced that they 

 cannot obtain hardier plants anywhere else 

 in the country!

CANADA FOLKS— LIKE TOWNSENDS' HARDY PLANTS 



DEAR SIR: WoodviUe, Ontario, Canada. 



Years ago I planted vour Strawberry Plants, since then. 

 I have used no others. People depend on me for their 

 berries and I get six cents a quart more than my neighbors, 

 and I could have sold several thousand more quarts this 

 year if I had them to offer. Advise me on other varieties 

 to plant if you have any better E. W. MARSHALL.

 your Premier, how soon can I get them?

GROWER FROM CONNECTICUT VISITS SALISBURY 



DEAR SIR: Fairfied Co., Conn. 



I wish at this time to exnress mv appreciation to vou 

 :or showing me around your plant farms when I visited 

 your nurseries in August. 



During my visit, and being interested in growing 

 berries I naturally noticed all strawberry fields. 



I can truthfully say that yours (plant Farms i was the 

 best I saw between here and Salisbury. I believe the 

 Townsend method of fertilization and propagation ac- 

 counts for this. I have been using vour plants for 5 years 

 and they have never failed to sa"tisfy. Therefore, "after 

 seeing the difference I will use only vour stock plants 

 from now on. You may look for another order next Spring.
