Value cannot be measured by price alone. If quality is lacking, value is destroyed. But when you are 

 offered the combination of low prices and high quality, only then does the value of that product exist. 



For more than a quarter of a century the Town- 

 send's Nurseries have been run on a square deal 

 plan. We have tried to pack Confidence and Value 

 into every package of plants that we have ever 

 sent out. 



We realized in the beginning that first we must 

 gain your confidence, and in order to hold it we 

 must give you the same square deal every time you 

 come to us with your order. 



Through all our business life — more than thirty - 

 two years — we have felt that it was more important 

 to please our old patrons than to seek new ones. 



WE NEVER SACRIFICE QUALITY TO MAKE 



A LOW PRICE 



Every Townsend plant has all the quality built into 

 it that such an organization knows how to build. 

 We contribute this quality, together with our fair 

 and courteous treatment of every customer to our 

 success. Mass production and low prices without 

 quality may go for a time. But no lasting trade 



can be built on any product except where Quality 

 is present. Our Motto has always been to grow the 

 best quality plants possible, and to make the lowest 

 possible price. 



Thousands of our customers have grown up with 

 us. They started in a small way just as we did. 

 They have followed our advice and instructions. 

 They have made more money year after year in 

 growing Strawberries than any other crop. These 

 thousands of old customers have sent to us tens 

 of thousands of new customers. In this way Town- 

 send's Nurseries have grown until today we are the 

 largest growers and shippers of Strawberry plants 

 in the world. We enjoy the full confidence of the 

 leading Strawberry growers throughout the nation. 

 We are mighty proud of our business, and just as 

 proud of our long list of faithful customers who 

 have contributed their fair share to our prosperity, 

 and for this faithfulness we are giving to each of 

 them the best that is within our power in trying 

 each year to grow plants that will please them bet- 

 ter, and to give the best service at our command.

 DEAR SIRS:- May the 3rd, 32. 



The sixty-five thousand plants you sent me this year were

 years, and have always found them to be true to name and 

 of the best quality. We give a good deal of credit for our 

 success with strawberries to your plants. E. W. Van BRUNT. 



Using Townsend's Plants More Than 25 Years 



DEAR MR. TOWNSEND:- Violo, Idaho, April 17th, 32. 



I believe it has been over 25 years since I began to get 

 plants of you. And the plants have always been good, and 

 come in nice shape. But these last plants just put one over, 

 on all the rest; they simply are the best plants I ever re- 

 ceived from a Nursery, and I have been raising strawberries 

 for over 30 years. L. A. BUSWELL.

 We are setting 50,000 Premier plants this year. I am send-

 Farm. I have always felt that I made a good move when I 

 ordered my first plants from you, and followed your instruc- 

 tions several years ago. C. L. SARGENT.

I received my 12,000 plants on the 6th of April. They were 



in good condition and very fine plants. This is a real berry 



country here and you can expect several more orders from 



this vicinity as your plants have always given satisfaction. 



PORTER EWING.

 I certainly do appreciate the way you have handled our 

 orders this year and the offer you have given us on the
