When you order raspberry plants from Townsends you re- 

 ceive the benefit of double inspection by State Officials. Each 

 plant carries with it a certified seal testifying to complete 

 freedom of mosaic and other injurious diseases. We do every- 

 thing humanly possible to insure the reputation of Town- 

 sends' Raspberry Plants. Not only do we subject every plant 

 to the critical eyes of the State Officials, but our propagating 

 fields are directly under the supervision of a raspberry 

 specialist who carefully checks the soil to make sure that 

 only well-balanced plants with vigorous root systems are 

 produced. The results of this checking and inspection is that 

 you who invest in Townsends' Select Strain Raspberry Plants 

 will be amply rewarded by heavier yields and consequently 

 larger profits. 



The wisdom of our careful and painstaking methods has 

 been demonstrated year after year by a constantly increasing 

 demand by growers in every state of the Union. We have on 

 file thousands of letters from satisfied customers, praising 

 us for the quality of our plants, our method of packing, and 

 our speedy, safe shipping. On the basis of these letters of 

 actual results we do not hesitate to say that with a moderate 

 amount of care after planting, Townsends' Select Strain 

 certified Raspberry Plants will practically double your yields 

 — resulting in lower cost of production and increasing profits. 

 Don't gamble with your planting stock. One raspberry plant- 

 ing is good for several years. So it will pay 

 you in the long run to get quality plants in 

 the beginning. Our prices are reasonable — 

 so decide to stock up on Townsends' this 

 year.
