Our Lady Friends Make Big 



Money Growing Townsend's 



Strawberries 



What just a few have done 



Mrs. Hester McDougal, of Missouri, made $150 from 1,000 

 Mastodon Plants. 



Miss Josephine Dewy, Scranton, Pa., made $120 from 800 

 plants first year. 



Mrs. Gladys Taylor, L. I., N. Y., made $267.50 from only 

 2,000 plants. 



Mrs. Georgie Moore, from Connecticut, writes she made 

 more money from less than half acre berries than her 

 husband did from a forty-acre field of other farm crops. 

 She netted nearly $800.

 May first year. 



Mrs. Carrie Townsend, of Maryland, states she is making 

 $15.00 per week from her ever-bearing garden; has been 

 picking berries since July ist, and still picking strong 

 October ist. 



r7« IE could find thousands of letters by looking through 

 '>*^ our files, where our lady customers have written in 

 telling of their pleasure and profit in growing our Straw- 

 berry plants. 



Also, thousands of school children throughout the 

 country are making plenty of money every summer in 

 growing our Ever-bearing Strawberries. It is only pleasure 

 for the "kids" to work with these berries, for in only a few 

 weeks after the plants are set they have plenty of berries 

 to eat, as well as to sell their neighbors. 



One of our home boys has reported already this season 

 over $600 clear cash from Mastodon Berries. 



They are easy to grow, and easy to sell, for everybody likes 

 strawberries. And as I have stated many times before, 

 please do not fail to set enough plants for the kiddies to 

 have all the berries they can eat, even though you have not 

 time to care for a larger patch.
