WHAT A FEW OF THE THOUSANDS ARE SAYING 

 ABOUT TOWNSEND'S PLANTS 



TOWNSEND'S PLANTS ONLY— PLANTS THAT GIVE 

 SATISFACTION 



Extract from a letter received from Mr. Victor P. Kennard, of 

 N. H., July 18th. 1925: We want you to know how well the plants 

 have done that you shipped us last spring. They are every one 

 strong and healthy, and sending out runners in wonderful shape. 

 We entertain high hopes for them. These plants probably received 

 the severest test that it would be possible 10 give plants. On ar- 

 rival some of them had blossomed, but they were well packed and 

 arrived in good condition. We did not have the ground ready so 

 healed them in. After five days in the ground we had a snow fall 

 of six inches, the snow lasted several days. 



After the snow had disappeared our horses broke through the 

 fence and the first thing they did was to attack your plants. They 

 ate many of the tops off and shook the bundles all over the lot. 



We did not discover it until they had been pulled out several 

 hours, but in spite of this every plant that we set has lived and 

 grown to perfection. And if you could see them now you would 

 be proud of them. This is a strawberry section, but your plants 

 are the only real plants that have given us satisfaction. 



From Chester. Pa.. July 24th. 1925. 



This spring I purchased from you Premier strawberry plants, 

 and wish to advise that these plants have grown wonderfully. I 

 thought you due this information and would enjoy hearing. Re- 

 spectfully, J. L. Meredith. 



WELL PLEASED WITH TOWNSEND'S PLANTS 



Mr. Swain Weigel, of W. Va.. writes. June, 25th. '.925: 

 Gentlemen : 



I bought 5,000 strawberry plants from you one year ago last 

 spring. I took good care of them and have made real money. In 

 fact I have done fine, and am well pleased with Townsend's plants. 



TOWNSEND'S PLANTS ALWAYS SATISFACTORY 



Mr. Ralph B. Hill, of Connecticut, has written us many times 

 in the last twenty years, always praising our plant/1. 



PLANTS AS LARGE AS A WATER BUCKET- 

 GREW FINE 



EVERY ONE 



Mrs. E. F. Carr. of Vienna, Va., writes, July, 29th: 



Plants I bought of you last spring all grew fine and every one 

 lived. I followed your instructions and have kept the runners cut 

 off and each plant is now as large as a water bucket. Every one 

 who sees them wants to know where I got the plants and how I 

 made them grow so large. Don't seem to understand it as no 

 plants ever grew this way before here. Kindly send another in- 

 struction book as I have lost mine. 



Valuable book of instructions sent free to beginners, or any 

 one interested. The little booklet is handy to carry in the pocket 

 and may be referred to at any time. 



(Townsend's plants worth double that of others) 



Gallatin. Tenn.. April 19th, 1925. 

 Gentlemen : 



Out of the last order of plants we got from you which was 

 4.000 we never lost a single plant, and every one grew fine. This 

 is more than we can say of any other nursery that wc ever bought 

 from. Your plants are worth double any that I know of.

TOWNSEND'S PLANTS SUPERFINE 



Mr. Alfred Caldwiler, of Corbin, Kansas, writes, April 2oth 

 1925 — After having the trouble I have had with Cull and "Shoe 

 String" stuff it is a pleasure to write you a few lines. I have 

 ordered strawberry plants from various other growers. Some of 

 these plants probably were good. I thought so anyway. But when 

 I received my first order from you I found that I was just learn- 

 ing what good plants are. If any the others were good then your 

 are truly super-plants.

 E W. Townsend & Sons, 



Salisbury. Md. 

 Gentlemen: 



Enclosed find check to balance our account, $57.50, making a total amount of $604.50 remitted to you for plants this season. 

 We have certainly received wonderful plants from you this season, and our crop is now in the most wonderful shape one might imagine. 

 I hope that you do pay us a visit along this summer when these plants all get up nicely. I think that I shall be very proud to show my 

 patch and I expect to have some photos taken to send you later. 



I wish that you could sec the acre of "The New Prince." These are plants that you sent to me on the 2 Uh of January. Wc have 

 never lost a single plant, and they arc set all rows of five feet apart and plants eighteen inches apart in the rows. Some of these plants have 

 twenty-five blossoms on them now, and the foliage looks like tobacco leaves. The color is a rich dark green, which shows they are getting 

 plenty nourishment. This is a patch which I expect to compete in your contest. 



Yours very truly, 



Herbert Hawkins. 

 NOTE — This lot of plants, shipped to Mr. Hawkins early in the season, was the cause of the sale of several hundred thousand plants in that sec* 

 tion, and every one who received our plants there has come back with nothing but praise. Even the County Sheriff sent us a nice order, 

 and we pleased him. We have been booking orders all summer from that section. Another case where QUALITY COUNTS. — EW'T.
