TOWNSEND'S GENUINE 

 100 PER CENT MASTODON 



There's a Reason Why Our Customers Increase 

 Their MASTODON Planting Each Year 



We do uot have to tell our customers bow good 

 MASTODON is, or put on a c-ircus style of adver- 

 tising in order to sell all the plants we can grow. 



We have never made claims as big as some grow- 

 ers do, such as IS ben-ies till a quart, and lots of 

 other st-uff. But our customers come back year 

 after year and buy our plants, telling us that we 

 produce the best MASTODON plants they have ever 

 seen. Season 1929 we had sixty acres plante<l to 

 MASTODON. Long before the season was over we 

 were returning money and turning down orders by 

 the hundred of thousands of phints. 



This year 1930 we have grown o.ver seventy-five 

 acres and have to offer the largest stock of plants 

 we have ever had, but we do not expect to have 

 any plants left over. 



Growers who bought MASTODON in hundred lots 

 three years ago are now buying them in lots of 

 several thousand. 



MASTODON IS NOT ONLY A GOOD EVER= 



BEARING BUT A FINE SPRING 



BEARING VARIETY 



Growers who first planted MASTODOX for a fall 

 crop only now know that it is among the very best 

 spring varieties, and they are getting more than 

 twice as many berries from an acre of ground now 

 in twelve months as they did with standard varie- 

 ties. We have hundreds of growers and possibly 

 thousands who are growing nothing else but MAS- 

 TODON and LUCKY STRIKE Strawberries. 



The fall crop pays all expenses and a handsome 

 profit. Besides, the spring crop comes along and 

 is velvet.

GROW MASTODON FOR QUICK MONEY CROP 



MR. EVERETT .U)AMS of New Jersey has been 

 growing MASTODON for several years. He has 

 made big money growing them. Mr. Adams cannot 

 grow as many berries as he can sell at a big price. 

 So he is making weeldy trips to the TOWNSENDS 

 FARMS taking back with him loads of our MAS- 

 TODON and LUCKY STRIKE berries. These ber^ 

 ries put up as Mr. Adams puts them up bring .$1.23 

 to $1.50 per quart throughout the summer and fall' 

 season. Mr. Adams states that he has purchased 

 plants from Michigan to Maryland, but has found 

 no strain of MASTODON plants as good as Town- 

 scnd's. 



We prefer to let our customers do some of the 

 talking. This gives us more time to grow good 

 plants. 



MASTODON EASY TO GROW 



AVe recommend Spring planting only. 



Set plants as early in spring as possible on good 

 trich garden soil. 



Keep the rows free of weeds and middles culti- 

 vated every week during the entire growing season. 



Pick olf all blossoms luitil July 1st — then let 

 them fruit balance of summer and fall. If mulch- 

 ing is handy it is a good plan to mulch the plants 

 after first hard freeze, raking this off between the 

 rows in early spring. And treat same as ordinary 

 standard varieties in your section for spring crop. 

 An application of a good well balanced fertilizer 

 as soon as the mulch is taken off directly on the 

 beds will he helpful unless soil is very rich. 



MR. R. W. HILDRETH, Gardner, Maine, writes: 



Find enclosed $15. CO. Please ship me another 1000 MASTO- 



DOX plants. From 2900 of your plants set I picked 3600 quarts. 



I do not believe that this record has been beaten in this State.

 MASTODOX plants.
