TRUE-TO-NAME FRUIT TREES! 



YEARS of TRYING EFFORT 

 SELECTING PARENT TREES! 



The trees we sell can only be as good as the 

 parent trees from which they are sprung. Know- 

 ing this, we make it a point to select only those 

 trees which our records show to be perfect for 

 Growth, for Heavy Yields, for Hardiness and 

 Good Color. Constantly, for 3 years of growth 

 and yield, we study and check every tree we in- 

 tend to use for propagating stock. Any tree 

 which does not measure up to full requirements 

 during each of these three years is rejected by 

 our bud selection experts. If the prospective 

 parent tree has passed every requirement for 

 growth and yield, and health, it is then qualified 

 for bud selection and scions. Only through this 

 long, tedious procedure can the fruit grower be 

 absolutely assured of receiving a tree that is fit 

 to carry the Townsend seal. 



THE knowledge of fruit trees and their 

 proper propagation which we have been 

 able to accumulate is such that only an organization 

 the size and age of Townsends' is able to possess. For 

 any one else to attempt to gather all the information 

 necessary to these facts, would require a generation of 

 painstaking research and effort. Every little iota of 

 knowledge and information we have ever gathered is 

 contained in our library of fruit tree record, which we 

 keep under lock and key. It is this information which 

 the buyer of Townsends' Certified Select Strain fruit 

 trees — the progressive grower, obtains when he orders 

 trees from us. Truly an encyclopedia of horticultural 

 knowledge FREE with each tree you buy! 



THE business of fruit tree 

 raising has become just as 

 much a science as it is a business. It 

 is vitally important that we keep rec- 

 ords, as exact and precise as the most 

 modern laboratory. Townsends have 

 been keeping individual fruit tree rec- 

 ords for more than a generation. For 

 we were quick to realize that upon 

 these records alone could we depend 

 for the information that has its re- 

 sult in greater yielding, hardier trees; 

 in more attractive, finer quality fruit: 

 and, in greater customer satisfaction 

 that is the backbone of our success.
