TOWNSEND’S STRAIN — PRODUCING LARGER YIELDS 
E. V. ORT, Teaneck, N. J., writes: 
I harvested over $400.00 worth of berries on a little less 
than one quarter acre from plants purchased of you Other 
plants from other concerns had no such roots as yours. 
FRANCIS D. ROGERS, Corydon, Penna., writes: 
I am writing you telling how well we like your Straw- 
berry Plants and in fact everyone liked them. We could 
not fill our orders. From the 800 plants we picked over 1,300 
quarts of berries. I am going to plant more this year. 
EUGENE JORDAN, North Stratford, New Hampshire, 
writes: 
We picked and sold about seven thousand quarts of ber- 
ries from one acre of Premier this year. We had no trouble 
selling all we could raise in the local market, for a much 
higher price than other berries sold for. Our merchant sold 
our berries for 25¢ per quart. Our customers say that we 
cannot raise any better berries. But we would like to try 
the Howard-Supreme. You can imagine how heavy the 
plants were loaded, when one picker picked 12 quart baskets 
on a matted row in a space just 6 feet long. 
SAM SAPER, Gallatin, Tenn., writes: 
I have received the plants all O. K. and just as good as 
the ones I received in last order sent you. The 1400 plants 
last year picked 2,246 quarts and were just fine. So you can 
look for some of my friends orders in the future. 
JOHN A. SINKHOVETZ, Lincoln, Illinois, writes: 
From the 800 Premier plants purchased from you, they 
produced 1,365 quarts and I received $216.8& for them, that is 
not counting what was was used for home consumption and 
I want to say that I was well satisfied with the plants. 
Enclosed you will find another order. 
G. J. PLAUNSTIEL, Lakewood, Ohio, writes: 
I am sending an order for 2,000 more Premier. Would 
like to set out a whole acre if I could handle them, as you 
certainly have fine plants. The 1,000 Premier received from 
you picked 1,148 quarts of fine berries, an unusual yield for 
this section. 
TOWNSEND’S PLANTS — VIGOROUS, HEAVY ROOTED 
MRS. JOSEPH BOYEA, Keene, N. H., writes: 
I will say that I am very much pleased with the Straw- 
berry plants received from your nurseries. And if I ever 
want any more plants will surely send to you for them. 
J. L. WEITZEL, Mechanicsburg, Pa., writes: 
The plants received from you last year were very satis- 
factory and withstood the dry weather exceptionally well. 
Please find enclosed check for 10,000 more plants. We con- 
sider your plants to be more vigorous than any we can buy 
elsewhere. 
MRS. R. D. GILLISPIE, Agricola, Va., writes: 
I received Strawberry plants in perfect condition and 1 
was very much pleased with them. They had splendid root 
system. Have them all planted and more vigorous plants I 
have never seen. They seem to start off growing the next 
day after setting. 
THE QUALITY OF TOWNSEND’S PLANTS IS KNOWN 
BY OUR CUSTOMERS 
Hatchville, Mass. 
The plants that came from you last year are getting ready 
to fruit. They are beautiful and seem to be full of fruit 
which is yet green. I have heard a lot of talk about your 
plants, but never realized until now just how much differ- 
ence there is in Strawberry plants. 
EMMA JOSEPH. 
U. G. FEHNEL, Northampton, Pa., writes: 
We received our Strawberry plants Monday and they were 
wonderfully nice plants. We never had such nice plants 
since we started raising berries 19 years ago. This is the 
first time we planted your plants. 
O. H. PALMER, Burlington, Vermont, writes: 
Plants received from you last Spring must have had great 
vitality to withstand the dry weather like they did. No 
rain from May until late in October to speak of. And your 
plants came through looking good this Spring. Without 
question I consider your strain of plants to be the best in 
the country. 
JOHN McGOWAN, Geigertown, Pa., writes: 
I want your latest catalogue. I may need some plants 
this Spring. As I have been dealing with you people so 
long I feel more at home and know what I am getting.
