^FRUIT OF FINER QUALITY— 

 ^■MORE ABUNDANT YIELDS . . . 



Fruit growers in every part of the country have 

 written us gratifying letters on the extra quality 

 of the fruit they have grown on Townsends' Certi- 

 fied Select Strain fruit trees. This is the natural 

 result of our exclusive method of bud selection and 

 propagating. 



• TYPIFIED FRUIT. An apple of mixed char- 

 acteristics and off of the original type of that re- 

 spective variety is never a profitable one to the 

 grower. The fruit produced from Townsends' Bud 

 Selected Trees eliminates off-shape fruit. 



• EARLY BEARING. The time you can save in 

 your growing is money in the bank for you Our 

 system of bud selection and propagating results in 

 an extremely early bearing tree. 



• UNIFORM COLOR. Imagine picking a fruit tree, 

 whose fruit is of one uniform color. The increased 

 profits from such a tree is self-evident. That is the 

 greatest achievement of Townsends' Certified Select 

 Strain system of propagation.
