Northern Growers Recognize the -/^fote^ of TOWNSENDS' Sa£ac£ SXhouAt Plants 



H] 

 i 



[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! 



PROUD OF TOWNSENDS' STOCK 



Hamilton Co., Ohio. 

 Received plants in A-No. 1 shape, looked like they had 

 just been dug when I received them. I have not lost a plant. 

 I thank the TOWNSENDS for this FAST SERVICE and fine 

 plants. People come from all around to look at them. I am 

 proud to tell them the stock came from TOWNSENDS.

OUR EXPERIENCE IN PACKING COUNTS 

 ON LONG HAULS 



Deer Lodge Co., Montana. 

 Plants arrived in perfect condition, as moist and crisp 

 as if they were dug the day before, although I did not 

 receive them until eight days later. I admit I was dubious 

 of sending so far, but still I could not go wrong with 

 TOWNSENDS' plants with the reputation they have made 

 for themselves. JAMES G. THOMAS.

 BERRIES FROM 1000 PREMIER PLANTS 



Montgomery Co., Penna. 

 I got 1000 Premier plants of you and they all lived and 

 done fine. They are as good a berry as I ever raised, and I 

 have grown berries for about 20 years, and one of the 

 largest crops I ever got. I sold sixteen hundred ninety-six 

 quarts, we ate and canned all we wanted besides. I just 

 can't say to much for your Premier plants.

TOWNSENDS' PLANTS SHOWED GOOD BREEDING 



Washington Co., Ind. 

 Received plants and trees. I am sure the plants showed 

 the most distinctive marks of good breeding, care, and skill 

 in packing than any nursey stock I ever received.

TOWNSENDS' LARGE PLANTS BRING REPEAT ORDERS 



Menard Co., 111. 

 I want to tell you that the strawberry plants you sent 

 me were wonderful plants, had such nice root system, 

 packed in good shape. I will get my next year's plants 

 from you as they are always large plants. My neighbors 

 will order also from you, they have seen these wonderful 

 plants. JAMES H. JOHNSTON.

SERVICE AND QUALITY 



Plymouth County, Mass. 

 Plants you shipped April 16th arrived April 18th at 

 noon; over half of them were in the ground (from Mary- 

 land to Mass. in two days), and today, the 23rd, are getting 

 their first hoeing. The plants were surely A-No. 1 Grade
