Mr. R. B. Archer, Watertown, New York, sends us the above Photograph; 

 of his berry field grown from Townsend's plants set Spring 1932; and writes 

 June 23, 1933, that he has just finished harvesting a bumper crop of fine 

 berries that made him a good profit this year. 





There is money making opportunities growing straw- 

 berries the Townsend way. Our instructions are plain 

 and easy, simple enough for the average ten year old 

 boy to follow. The first step is to secure healthy vigor- 

 ous plants. For without the best plants, success is 

 impossible. The average strawberry plants sold will not 

 pay you to buy them and enter the game, or even taking 

 them as a gift, and try to cultivate a paying crop. It 

 can't be done that way. The Government reports state 

 that the average crop of strawberries the country over 

 is less than 2,500 quarts per acre. It is impossible to 

 make money growing strawberries, at this low yield. 

 With the best plants and proper cultivation it is easy 

 to more than double the Government estimate, as five 

 thousands quarts per acre is a very low yield, and our 

 customers often more than double this quantity. 



1000 Plants Produced 1148 Quarts of Fine Berries 



Lakewood, Ohio. 

 I am sending an order for 2000 more plants. Would like to 

 set out a whole acre if I could handle them, as you certainly 

 have good plants. The 1000 plants received last year picked 1148 

 quarts of fine berries, an unusual yield for this section.

 I purchased 10,000 Premier plants from you last year, they 

 look fine and every indication of a big crop from them. We 

 have purchased plants from you for years and will not have 

 anyone else's plants. We consider your plants to be all that 

 could be desired in a plant. E. BIRD. 



5000 Plants Set — Picked 8200 Quarts Berries 



South Orrington, Maine. 

 Enclose check as payment on my order of plants. The 5000 

 plants we bought of you last year picked 8200 quarts. There 

 are no other plants for us but yours. Thanks you for your 

 courtesy and fair business dealings. G. J. ADAMS. 



7000 Quart Yield From One Acre 



North Stratford, N. H. 

 We picked and sold about seven thousand quarts of berries 

 from one acre this year. We had no trouble selling all we 

 could raise in the local market for a much higher price than 

 other berries sold for. Our merchant sold our berries for 25c 

 per quart. EUGENE JORDAN. 



1300 Quarts Berries From 800 Plants 



Croydon, Penna. 

 I am writing you telling how well we liked your strawberry 

 plants, and in fact, everyone liked them. We could not fill our 

 orders. From the 800 plants we picked over 1300 quarts of 

 berries. I am going to plant more this year.
